When the Rode Inn & Suites popped up on my virtual travel planner, I can’t tell you how skeptical I was. Within seconds my mind had started creating worst-case, roadside, dive motel scenarios where the bed bugs not only bite, but they chomp. I imagined funky room smells from the so-so cleaning products, mildew spots above the shower head, and icky sticky carpet among other things. Moments after pulling into the parking lot I swallowed my preconceived ideas about the place and found it was a heck of a lot better than I could have ever contrived.
Don’t mistake my eating my words as saying the place is a luxury joint, but it’s probably the best thing Springerville, AZ has in terms of accommodation. The rooms are simple, clean, and extra cozy. Balconies with patio furniture welcome guests out of their rooms to soak up a little Arizona sun or relax and read a book. If you’re more for taking advantage of the A.C., lounge a little in their Western inspired lobby. You’ll want to head this way first thing in the morning when they open up their deluxe continental breakfast. And when I say deluxe I mean DELUXE! If they haven’t won any awards in the past for their phenomenal early morning meal then I kid you not when I tell you they should. Fresh, sweet fruit, bagels, breakfast burritos, sausage-on-a-stick, French toast strips and biscuits with gravy are just a few treats waiting to help you start off your day on the right foot.
If you find yourself in the Springerville, AZ for any reason and looking for a place to stay don’t pass this one up! (Even if you stay only for the breakfast…) Other amenities include Hi-Speed internet access, cable TV, business office, fax, copy and laundry facilities.
