Room was alright. Minor maintenance issues (noisy A/C, small hole in bathtub, no fan in bathroom (so was very steamy after a shower), and wall was bowed out in one spot. Beds were comfortable and fridge worked. Staff was excellent! Good stay for the price overall!

Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The customer service was really good, but I would really recomend that they have security around the premises. There's a lot of crackheads, and shady people around the area. The smell of marihuana was really strong around the area. The rooms need to upgrade the AC, because sometimes the small AC doesn't cool the whole room.

The gentleman check-in was extremely nice and helpful. Made me feel welcome. It’s listed as a two star hotel other than the outside looking a little rundown. My room is actually clean comfortable and I would definitely stay there again.

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. In the Evening there Will be homeless people behind hotel asking for cash if they see you in the parking lot.
