Economical stay in Tucson

The stay was good, but I would recommend that the doorbell by the office be repaired. When I arrived, I ended up calling since the office was dark and it appeared the doorbell did not work. There are upgrades that could be made to the room's ceiling, outlets (the only place I could plug in laptop was by the bathroom sink), etc. but overall it was an economical, comfortable stay. It appears that many of the people that stay there are long-term residents as opposed to travelers.

A vintage no-frills motor hotel. The rooms are quiet because the walls between them are brick, not wallboard. Our room was clean. The manager was accommodating and friendly. If you'd rather not pay hundreds for a "Free" breakfast and a Keurig in every room, this is your place. We'll definitely stay there again if we travel to Tucson again.

Went to check in and I was informed that I had to pay a $100 CASH ONLY deposit. This is complete BS. If llI was informed of this, I never would have booked the reservation for this piece of crap property.

Not a getaway location...

Checked in Monday evening. Met by manager in parking lot as I pulled in. Showed me the room which was so-so (I only needed a place to rest my head after a 6 hr motorcycle ride) Went back to the office and told me "$20 cash key deposit, check out 9AM" The room was just OK: Room itself was "clean" (no dirt), bathroom so-so: toilet and sink worked but don't use the shower- ceiling looks moldy. Kitchen: fridge worked, microwave also but had cockroaches running around inside... I dont open the bed anymore, I bring my own bedding cover. but the bed was firm...

The attendant did not honor my valid Expedia reservation. He claimed he didn't have it.... he wanted $70 for the room and so I walked away. He obviously using the app to squeeze extra money from unsuspecting people.

Liked: Cleanliness

Clean but rough around the edges (paint on walls doesn't match), older furnishings, new big flat screen TV, music from venue next door can be easily heard in room (bad was good, but I needed sleep). Other than the band, it suited my modest needs satisfactorily, but may not be for those who want something fancier.

Not the best

Owner was helpful but very stern when expressing thinga he didnt want done at his hotel (almost to the point of insinnuating that we may be a certain type of people he has trouble with) other then that the rooms are old and very out dated. Rented us a room with two bedrooms and made sure we knew to not use other room for any reason. And although he knew there was no hot water to the room he didnt offer any kind of refund for the inconvenience.

OSHA violation Museum

I travel extensively for business I stay in a lot of different types of hotels this was by far the worst hotel I attempted to stay in. The owner operator on duty was the rudest person I've ever dealt with in the service industry. The conditions at the property should be reported to OSHA it is a complete an utter failure at the hospitality business. In fact I'm glad I got this email cuz it reminded me I'm going to contact local code enforcement to pay a visit. There was Bob wire wrapped around the bench in front of the check in office that I nearly cut myself on and when I asked about it the manager said they put it there so homeless people don't sleep on it disgusting

You get what you pay for

Here’s the thing. You want a clean, comfortable bed, a toilet, and a shower? They got it. You want anything else? Not so much. The pictures on the website are from at least 20 years ago. The rooms are run down, the strip club down the street is par for the neighborhood, and at least the bar stops playing live music by 11 on Friday night. The kitchen is a disaster area and there’s a sheet over the couch. Towels are threadbare and the soap is a sliver. The sheets have holes in them. The carpets are stained and the door has a toy lock.

The fridge door is open because it’s broken

Two of these on separate bedrooms. The best part of the place.

Horrible! Horrible! Horrible

When we arrived the manager refused to have us in the office, made us go check out the room so that we could “inspect “ it. He asked if everything was OK and honestly from just a quick glance, in the very dim light, it did look fine. That is until after we checked in, which was a nightmare. First of all he said we had to pay a $20 cash deposit in order to get the key. We had to scramble to come up with cash. Then he said that we didn’t have to stay there and he wouldn’t give us our money back. Finally got the key finally got into our room and after having settled in my husband went to the bathroom, and there was a cockroach sitting on top of the trashcan. We found another one in the kitchen and another one in the living area of the room that we were in. Will not ever stay there again! And the manager was very very rude on top of it. Room smelled of smoke, and we were told it was a non-smoking room! Bed was super squeaky, pillows were flat, sheets were itchy. Floor which was tile, felt very gritty like it hadn’t been swept in a while. There was mold all over the top of the shower, and the shower curtain was cut in half, outdated plug-ins. There was a sheet thrown over the old couch, towels were almost nonexistent one bath towel and one washcloth and a little square of a towel for a bathmat… But there was two of us! No soap no toiletries. I can’t believe that hotels.com lets this hotel be on their site.

Very rude and obnoxious Hotel manager. The day I was leaving he was standing right by my door as I was moving my stuff into my car. Then he was keep telling me that he was going to hold my deposit money because I didn't get out of the hotel before 10 a.m. . I explained that the stuff I was putting in my car have to go a certain way I might be a few minutes later than 10 a.m. but that's still earlier then the standard check out time of most hotels which is 11 a.m. .

The hotel served its purpose of a 2 stars where to spend the night at the price. Room was non smoking but had a residual stench which I had to use an air freshener to clear. Bed is good but beddings are uncomfortably old. There was and old seat and footrest unclean covered with old white tissue which were better not kept in there if they can't be replaced. I checked carefully and found NO signs of bugs. Facility is quiet and looks safe.
