Arizona Grand Resort & Spa
"In the room, the air filter needed to be changed. It was super dusty and old and affected the air quality as well as the air condition quality. Also, there was an extra charge to get a microwave. It was $10 per night and that was not clear in the description when booking the room in the bathroom. ..."
