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.

This hotel has a fast food place next door, convenient. There is a nice walking path behind the hotel along the river. comfortable bed/ pillow. *This Hotel is only feet away from a busy highway, you WILL hear cars all night and semi jake breaks.
