This place is a dump. The bed was terrible, the shower floor had old black stains in it, the bed spread had stains on it, and the location was horrible. There were many many homeless people. In fact when I woke up in the morning to go out the door, there was a homeless person sleeping on my porch. I just packed up and left. It was very sad and disgusting.

For $90 it was a good room. Seemed pretty clean but a little old. Staff was very nice. The only issue is the homeless folks around the hotel but i feel that is a city of tucson issue that needs to get cleaned up

The last few days of my stay became a nightmare. I’m has staying at this location for close to a month. I had 2 different rooms the first room was better than the second one nice TV’s for any downtime I had but the mold in the bathrooms in both rooms, the internet not working in my second room at all I mentioned that to the desk clerk and he just looked at me stupid. If you like Prostitutes and drugs this is the motel to party at I guess. Do not stay here!!!

Great team if ppl that work great together. You can tell the team that cleans the rooms really take pride in their job. The rooms are freshly remodeled and even have a clean smell to them. The beds are so comfortable, almost to the point of being dangerous because you dont want to get up and get ready for the day.
