The Yuma Territorial Prison and Yuma Quartermaster Depot are nearby attractions. The location is well positioned between central Yuma and the Fortuna area, with an Arby's next door and several other restaurants and a border crossing within a short drive.

The beds are consistently described as comfortable, and rooms include plenty of electrical and USB outlets and an ethernet port by the desk.
