    Good deal for the $, nice, clean room, just not the best area, even though the city does seem like they are putting effort into cleaning it up.

    “Good”

    Pretty decent for a budget motel. Room is adequately clean for one of the least expensive accommodations to stay in Tucson. Bed is comfortable and haven't seen any bugs in the room my stay which was about a week. There's a fridge and microwave, pool and hot tub. The hot tub is hot though the bubbles don't work well. My only complaint is that it can be a bit noisy. You can hear what's going on in rooms near you and from outside. You can hear things through the walls when you're trying to sleep, and the AC is quite loud too. There's no breakfast offered but there is free coffee all day in the dining area from a dispenser machine. It's also a nice walking distance from the downtown area and bars and restaurants. The area feels in the hood, but the hotel property is quite calm overall at night. The wifi works well overall. I used it for work during the week with no issues.

    I enjoy this place best during the week. It's more chill and less active. I like peace 🕊️. The Wifi is very choppy. They need a really good wifi extender 🤠. Staff is great always. I wish I could get my room cleaned more often though.
