Having generally had good luck with Americas Best Value Inn locations, my wife and I stopped here around 11pm on a snowy night during the off-season, and we were all-around impressed with the quality of the room and the friendliness of the service for the budget price--only a few bucks more than the sketchy-looking roadside places.
The fellow behind the counter had a bit of an accent, but was friendly and very accommodating, unlike a lot of places that seem to have surly or disinterested night staff. Even the cleaning lady the next morning was genuinely friendly, which really impressed my wife.
The hotel is on the newer side and seemed to be in pretty good shape on the outside. Indoor corridors were appreciated given the chilly weather (probably good in summer heat, too), and there's an indoor pool and hot tub (which looked very clean and steaming hot, though we didn't try either).
The room was spotless and felt higher-class than the price (and rural Interstate location) had me expecting. Not wildly fancy, but modern and properly equipped for a short-stay place. King size bed with LOTS of nice, puffy pillows, which I really appreciate since I need to get several pillows under me to get at an appropriate angle. (Aside: The sink had a weird faucet knob type I haven't seen before, but that's not unusual--what is it with hotels and exotic faucets?)
Topnotch Wifi HIGHLY appreciated: Free, easy to connect, strong signal, and probably the fastest I've ever used at a hotel (geek specs: 30ms latency, 3Mbit down, 1.5Mbit(!) up). Amazing how even in the middle of a big city hotels usually have crummy, dog-slow internet, and the fancy places even make you pay extra on top of your $200 room, yet in rural Arizona you get a solid, fast connection.
In addition to a coffee maker and tea in the room, there was a decent basic-class breakfast--pancakes, sausages, cereal, toast, and donuts. Looked like there would also be a DIY waffle iron for the season when there were more guests to be using it--my wife absolutely loves those.
The only thing I could find to complain about would be a lack of functioning vending machines, which may have been due to the season. There was a coin washer/dryer available, though.
This place is in the running for the nicest place I've ever stayed for around fifty bucks. I don't travel through the area much, but this is one of those places where I make a mental note to stay at again if the opportunity arises--recommended.
