The hotel was cool because it allowed me to stay in a retro styled hotel, but as a super clean, and updated version! The rooms were spacious and I felt safe in side of the gated property.
The surrounding area seemed unsafe and downtrodden, but this hotel was a gem.

Gated hotel; gates open with your room key, add a sense of security. Junior was an excellent and professional staff member who answered our questions and tried to accommodate our requests. The room was big, clean and quiet, with a nice kitchenette. The pool has canvas tents, really convenient for the hot/cold weather in Tucson. Easy access to freeways, short driving distance to downtown.
It is a limited Continental breakfast, no waffle machine, or oatmeal packages, just two different cereals, sweet yogurt, plenty of bread, scramble eggs and one of the three regular meats (bacon, sausage or ham). Due to car issues, we were tree nights there, the maid came in only to take out the trash and remove some towels but, didn't replace the foot towel she took the first day, even when I requested it the next day at the front desk before leaving, neither made the bed any day.

Very clean, comfortable and the friendliest staff ever! So many amenities…fabulous pool, arcade, gym, shaded hangout area and laundry facilities. I can’t say say enough about the staff, they are the best! The rooms are super clean and comfortable. There is an little round table and two chairs on the front “porch” making it a lovely spot to start and/or end the day.
No electrical outlet in bathroom(that I could find in room 130) so I just used the electrical outlet around corner.

It was clean, newly done in mid-century style, charming with character, kept up well, felt safe, staff was exceptional. Room was large, with great storage, a full size refrigerator and large kitchenette with microwave.
Dumpster was not enclosed and was overflowing into the parking lot the first two days of my stay. You have to drive past it to exit the property, so possibly consider enclosing it or getting a second one.

The place is a resto mod style done right. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The place is gated and gives off a great sense of security. The pool is perfect for Tucson heat. The rooms are nicely decorated clean and spacious, beds were very comfortable and it came with a full size refrigerator. The owner is a wonderful person and is beyond friendly and helpful.
It’s not technically a dislike of the property itself, but rather what people looking to book may feel about its location. No need to worry of location it’s secure and worth the stay. Hidden gem of a place.

Room (and all hotel in general) was just remodeled and everything was brand new. For example the hairdryer plug had a plastic protection cap and wire was wrapped because no one ever touched it before. Same with microwave and fridge and other stuff inside the room. Beds and pillows are comfortable. No bad smell. Location is great and Uber comes very fast. Lobby is nice and very modern, staff is nice and friendly. There is always someone there to help.
At first night we noticed a music coming from somewhere all night long. We thought is was neighbor, but apparently we had no one stayed next to us that night. Next day we discovered that it was a music from the gym bellow and front desk turned it off every night for the rest of our stay. It is not really a complain because they didn't know that you can hear a music in room above the gym. Problem was solved

The front staff was very helpful. Reina in particular went above and beyond! Then Brenda and the morning staff somehow made me feel even more welcome. The staff, just like the warm front lounge decor, really lend to a relaxing stay.
Barely a complaint: Front desk managed with grace but seemed short-staffed one day for breakfast. The food & selection was still very good, but it was a bit slow to be replaced, and coffee was not consistently available.

Lots of stuff for the kids to do - Arcade, heated pool. Free breakfast. Nice staff.
The phone number that booking.com sent me was an automotive place, and then I found another email with a number that was an employee cell phone. That man finally gave me the correct number to the front desk. Housekeeping staff told us they would make our beds and straighten up the room, but they never came. Also the walls are really thin - could hear my neighbors TV.

Staff was very good. Breakfast was good but minimal. Mini grocery area was vary adequate. Work out area, laundry and game room was clean, well equipped and central located. Pool area was clean, well maintained, and pool was clean and cleaned daily.
The continental breakfast started at 0700. Starting at 0600 would have been better for most occupants. Most patrons were out of the parking lot before 0700.
