The gentleman handling check out around 6am was extremely rude. He ignored that i was standing at the window for a while. When he took my key card i asked for a receipt, he typed in something on the computer, printed a paper out sat it down then walked away. I was waiting for my receipt and he had his headphones on listening to music and dancing. After 5 minutes i just left.

When we first got there to check in the woman at the front desk was very rude. Their wifi was down and we walked up to the counter to check in and instead of explaining that to us. She told us there was a line and we needed to wait. There were other people in the waiting area but they were all over. We had no idea they were waiting to check in. After watching her play on her phone for 10 mins she finally started calling people to check in. We got into the room the fridge had hair in it and was leaking from the top. The shower curtain had what looked like stained red gatorade all over it, as well as the lamp in the bedroom. The bed was hard and the pillows it came with were incredibly thin. I went and bought my own pillows. Check out was definitely better. There was someone different at the counter. She waa quick and helpful.

The floor was so filthy we had to wipe our feet before getting into bed. There were huge cobwebs on the walls. Not even a chair on which to set our clothes. No plastic, paper or glsss cups in room. The bed was comfortable. Breakfast had lots of carb choices with awful weak coffee. We were allowed to park our van and trailer in back of property

We arrived very late and had a friendly and nice lady check us in. However, beyond that this hotel just had disappointing vibe and I had to admit to my wife this place was not what I expected. I maybe should have expected a much lower quality place when I got it for under $100 Canadian but the overall review average was not terrible. We only slept in the hotel after arriving at 2:00am but instantly we could the hotel and room was very worn out and had us questioning the cleanliness. The bed only had a small sheet and thin blanket and the 2 pillows were incredibly tiny and had a yellowish tone to them (not appealing). The place is located right by the main highway so it was noisy and there were many sketchy people around the area but not directly in the hotel grounds. A positive is a couple blocks away however you have a nice market (Mercado San Agustin) and you also can take a free tram downtown. Anyways, we were very happy to have only stayed there the night en route to Mount Lemmon.

Not the place if you value safety

My stay was not great! Thankfully we didn’t spend much time at the hotel. My room was right next to the wash at the end of the property. The door barely locked and the window had huge cracks through it. It felt completely unsafe as there were homeless people and hookers everywhere! The walls are thin so sleeping was out of the question because you could hear the neighbors next to you, above you, and outside in full volume! The fighting, cussing, etc. The toilet ran all night and the water pressures were extremely low! Aside from the smiling staff at this property it is a big zero!!

When I got to the hotel there was no one at the front desk for 20 minutes. Got to my room which was average but not particularly clean and no cups. Also, the highway traffic was terrible as the hotel was near a busy interstate on ramp. The people were frendly at the desk but the overall experience was not particularly good, with the highway noise throughout the night the worst part of it.
