    There was an ant problem in the sinks in the bathroom and the room was a little dirty when we first walked in. But overall wasnt looking for anything luxurious it was nice for what the cost was

    I liked how the staff was very helpful and friendly

    Toilet was a problem notified front desk person. Crazy fire alarm went off seems to be a daily occurrence according to other guests staying there.

    Breakfast was good no hot food, fresh fruit, cereal, milk, juice, and yogurt available. Hot coffee. Room was clean no microwave or coffee maker, small refrigerator was good. Free internet and ample parking. Carl's Jr was a blessing within walking distance. Overall a good experience

    There was damage to the bathroom door and it didn’t have coffee it available to you.

    The location is hard to find even off the freeway. But it’s doable . The breakfast cold stuff like yoojgurt and bagels not much else . It close to freeway but the noise wasn’t bad. It was a value for the money spent to stay there

    Breakfast was minimal. Not hot options as I have grown accustomed to. But enough to start anyone's day.

    The location was great, and the room was good for the value. Everything needed was there. The bed was clean & comfortable. Outlets were available for electronics. Hot water, enough towels, secure entry.

    We thought that some of the sheets, pillow cases and blankets needed to be replaced. They were showing their age. In addition, they need more pillows on each bed.

    The location was very convenient for the trip we had planned. Staff was very helpful. Breakfast was satisfactory. The lobby was a nice place to meet other travelers.

    The doors were kind of hard to open. And then the deposit went up to $100.

    I like to stay there because it's right off the freeway. When me and other family members go to Tucson Red Lion is the one we go to. We like the little continental breakfast and they even have a little spot to eat it at.
