The staff was nice and courteous. The only reason I didn't give it a five stars was because of the lighting in the room. Three of the lights were not working made it hard to get ready. The beds were super comfortable. I would stay they again.

Wasn't what i expected. The graduate in Tucson was so nice. I thought all graduates were the same standard. The one man black hair was very very very nice. The young lady was helpful but the older body girl with blond hair was so unpleasant. And the rooms have a kinda bad smell. And no microwave or refrigerator.

The staff is super friendly and helpful. Came with RV and dog. They helped us make space to park RV nicely !! Even in a previous stay, during college move-in day, the staff was very empathetic for our needs during hot summer move-in days and helped in many ways

I really dislike leaving bad reviews, but I have to. This hotel felt like a glorified Motel 6. The room smelled musty and almost like minor water damage. Pictures are not very accurate. The "view" room we had on the 4th floor overlooked some backyards. There are 2 light fixtures on the mirror that are for show only. Had to pay an additional $15 just to park in the parking lot. And wifi was terrible. Will not waste my money here again.
