We found this Inn through Hotels.com and decided to do a last minute overnight trip. We are so glad we did! The pool was so amazing and open 24hrs. The front desk person was friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean and spacious but the real MVP of the stay was the bed! It was so comfortable from mattress to linens it was outstanding. It had us wanting to know where to purchase it! We will no doubt return to our favorite room! Thank you staff at The Inn at Deep Canyon! 🙂
