The staff at this property were very friendly. The hotel itself is a cute retro remodeled hotel however done in the rooms sub par as light sockets in room are literally hung crooked on walls and food stuck on ice tongs and not cleaned properly ( small oversight ) Hotel is in a very unsafe poor area of Tucson right off the freeway between I-10 and old highway 80 It’s very tricky to get to this hotel due to the very busy one way streets and intersections. The grounds were super cute and inviting. Our room was clean but a broken shower with water spraying everywhere and a gross clump of butter on the ice tongs and only toiletries for one person . I would give this hotel a much higher rating if it wasn’t in the area it was in and they really need to put more detail on the condition of the rooms and cleaning

First, the front desk staff was super friendly and welcoming. Next the room was clean and comfortable. The only down side was that the bathroom had a glass door so when you turned on the lights in the middle of the night it lit up the whole room and the noise from the road all night was a bummer. But otherwise good, I would stay here again.
