"Fine value for the price: working tv, clean, safe. Next time I’m in Payson I’ll likely stay somewhere more rural, as there isn’t much going on in the town. The Buffalo Bar across the street is cool but closes at 9pm."

Payson is still small enough to be quaint and is close to many national parks. It's a couple of hours drive to the White Mountains and Greer Arizona.
