Disliked: Amenities
I will state the pros and cons: Pros: Staff was pretty nice and helpful. Room was great price for what we paid and clean. Location is decent since right off freeway and downtown Tucson with lits of resturants nearby. We took our kids to a playground that was 5 minutes away. Bed was comfortable and room was comfortable. Breakfast was decent, though my last morning there wasnt any coffee out which was a bummer. Lobby is clean and nice to sit and eat. Cons: Shower is terrible. Water comes out so rough and hard so if you have kids its a rough shower for them. Also its just a shower no tub and its hard to keep water in the shower so the water gets all over the bathroom floor. The listing for this hotel states laundry facility however they currently dont have one, which was partly why we chose this hotel. After long travel and road tripping we didnt want to have to find a facility and leave the premises. When we went to ask about where the laundry was, the front desk stated they didnt have one, we mentioned it was on the listing and advertised, they stated they did have somw but they were taken out and gwtting new ones installed. The listing really should remove laundry facilites as an amentity, that is false adverisement if they currently dont have any. We would have chose a different hotel. If theres a specific amentity you need that is listed I suggest calling before booking to make sure they have it.

Property is located on a not so well or secure area of Tucson , don’t usually stay on the area , but the $50.00 dlls price is reasonable for the area and the building, don’t think is worth more than that, cleaning ladies they bang your door if you pass 11:00 am but o well you get what’s you pay for , but is quiet, jaja don’t know if I’ll stay again
