Top Desert Garden Hotel Reviews

Uptown Inn by Vantaggio - Limited Service Apart-Hotel

Uptown Inn by Vantaggio - Limited Service Apart-Hotel

8/10 Good
"Staff was easy to work with. Location was perfect and the biggest reason I booked. Building is old, walls are thin, climate control was a portable a/c unit affixed to the wall that turned on and off throughout the night. Room was updated but needs a deep cleaning. Wall vent is fuzzy and bathroom floor boards scuzzy. But hey, I slept good enough, felt safe, and walked to everything. Loved the view."
