Clean room, staff were very friendly and helpful, parking was good but it was hot in the room the ac worked but only if you stood right in front of it. It definitely didn’t cool the entire room sadly but everything else was good, a good stay but bring a fan so the air can circulate haha 👍

The room was great! Updated and clean and quiet. The o ly reason I did not give 5 stars is the property itself needed some updating on the outside. A bit rough. However the price was right and close to all.

The property itself is not the best but the rooms are updated and clean and the beds are comfortable. The parking lot is well and brightly lit. Breakfast was good. It is not a high end resort so don’t bring those expectations. If you need a decent and affordable room for sleeping and getting ready to go enjoy Tucson, this is the place for you.
