This hotel is in a great location, next to the loop ( a biking and walking trail that encircles Tucson) and walking distance to several restaurants and Trader Joe’s. There is a kitchenette in the room which I appreciate. It has a nice set up with a pool surrounded by the building which creates sort of a private courtyard, and I had a room with a poolside patio which was nice, except the plaza the hotel is in is loud, with loud music kind of late (Friday night, anyway) . But my room had a stale, musty smell and I had a reaction to mold, which I’m very sensitive to. Most people probably wouldn’t notice it but if you’re a mold sensitive person ( you know if you are), this hotel won’t work for you. I have stayed in two different rooms here and both were musty. Mostly from the A/C, but it wasn’t especially clean in general. The a/c filters were visible and were filthy. I propped the door open ( the window was painted closed) but when it’s almost 100 degrees out it’s hard to get fresh air inside. Overall the property was just kind of old and dingy. I also didn’t think the mattress or the feather pillows were very comfortable.
The breakfast was typical of a cheap hotel- fake scrambled eggs that have the consistency of plastic, little discs of ultra processed ham, sweetened yoplait yogurt ( which has tons of chemicals in it) and lots of bread products and waffles that I can’t eat due to Celiac disease. The “hot” water for tea was lukewarm and the only tea option was Lipton.
