This is one of the best bang for your bucks in Tucson. Great location near downtown and the UofA and pet friendly is a bonus. The rooms are very clean with big, newer TV’s. The people who work at the front reception in the lobby aare always very friendly as well. Coffee is always free and fresh. Highly recommended.

The hotel is very well located near I-10 and 1 mile from U of A Honors Village. The building seems old and the area is not safe. Although the rooms seem they have been remodeled, the general state of the place is pretty run down and dirty. After arriving to my room and opening the door, I was hit by a very foul smell. I assumed it was because pets are welcome. Then, I noticed a random pair of gloves on the desk nobody cared to pick up. The bathroom door was opened and I walked into the bathroom to realize there was urine in the toilet sitting there for who knows for how long since the smell in the room was so strong. I went back to the front desk to explain the situation and request a change of room. The man who assisted me only worded an annoyed yes but never apologized or offer any further assistance. The new room seem “cleaner” but there was not hand soap in the bathroom, the TV could never connect to the Wi-Fi and the hand towels where nicely folded but never washed (there were dirty hand prints on them). By this point it was too late to find another place so I just stayed and “slept” intermittently due to the uncleanness of the place and the guests on both rooms next to mine yelling during the night and their children running around on the corridor outside my room. I would never stay in this place again. I understand this is a budget hotel but it’s insulting they treat their guests this way.

The surrounding area was filled with homeless and people doing drugs. The drain in tub did not drain. Wouldn't give more than 2 towels without returning two towels. In general a very old property in not a great location. I've stayed at Red Roof before but none that made me feel this unsafe.

The outside could use a paint job,but in good shape. The unit i stayed in was clean and had a nice urban style furniture ensemble. I also enjoyed the big TV and programming selection. I did not appreciate the people allowed to loiter ,it brought on a negative vibe. Over all,worh the money spent.
