Hotel McCoy - Art, Coffee, Beer, Wine
Our room was ok, but very dark. The only lights were very small and dim. Bed was extremely comfortable, but the chair was metal. We would have liked a more comfortable chair for watching TV. Room was well equipped and clean. Floor is like a concrete floor, which was weird. But the place is very eclectic ...

Lodge on the Desert
Only issue was the inability to obtain a room key upon check-in. Not the staff's fault as it was a system issue beyond their control. They did offer to let me in room as needed before key was finally avalable a few hours after check-in.

Westward Look Wyndham Grand Resort and Spa
Guest wifi in room didn’t work for the entire two day stay despite reporting the problem multiple times. Food was disappointing and the coffee stand wasn’t manned despite the signage saying it was open during the morning hours. Pretty disappointing stay unfortunately.
