This was our first stay at this hotel, and unfortunately, it was disappointing.

We arrived around 11:00 PM and were checked in quickly. However, our room was extremely hot despite it being the middle of summer. The hallways and common areas were well air-conditioned, but our room was not. We turned on the A/C immediately, yet even by 3:00 AM, the room remained uncomfortably warm. We contacted maintenance because our 13-month-old and 11-year-old daughters were unable to sleep. I do want to recognize the maintenance staff member, who was very friendly and helpful. After seeing how hot the room was, he brought us a fan, which we appreciated. Unfortunately, the fan was very noisy and still did not make the room comfortable enough to sleep.

The room's cleanliness was also concerning. My 11-year-old daughter found bugs on both the floor and the wall, and I even took a photo of one of them.

The complimentary breakfast was very limited and lacked basic items such as eggs and bananas.

Overall, I don't believe this hotel offers good value for the price. I would rather pay an extra $50 per night for a cleaner, cooler, and more comfortable hotel. I cannot recommend staying here unless the guest rooms are properly cooled during the summer, the rooms are kept bug-free, and the breakfast selection is improved.

The hotel lobby smelled strongly of marijuana upon arrival. The “free breakfast” was very disappointing and consisted only of apples, instant oatmeal packets, coffee, tea, juice, bagels, white bread, and blueberry muffins.

The room itself had a musty odor, and the walls were poorly maintained, with smeared boogers and damaged paint. Additionally, the cable TV did not work properly during our stay.

Overall, the cleanliness, maintenance, and amenities did not meet expectations, and I would not stay here again.

Water was quite cold, area was clean but a few of the loungers was broken, my nephew’s wife tried to unfold one only to have it come back and hit her nose on the right side of her eye.
Beds were comfortable, excellent staff but breakfast items were pretty sparse.

This hotel is badly in need of maintenance and perhaps new management. The stairway carpets looked as though they had not been cleaned for weeks and must have been over 10 years old. Breakfast was in a room by the lobby and did not vary for the almost 4 weeks we were there. The room was not well attended during breakfast hours and we often had to ask them to refill the coffee machine. The outdoor pool was closed. Pets were allowed and several times we could hear them through the walls of our room. When we first arrived, the room smelled like old shoes. This smell dissipated over the first several days. The room was cleaned once or twice during our stay with new bedding, otherwise it was only cleaned on request once or twice a week which is their policy. Their landscaper would make a better butcher, as he chopped some recent blooms off of the bushes surrounding the building. The A/C unit kept the room at our selected temperature, and the bed was reasonably comfortable. The hotel is about 30 minutes from the Tucson city limits, but has a few restaurants of decent quality within 6 minutes. Also about 4 minutes from the hotel is one of the best Basha's in all of Tucson where we often bought things to supplement our breakfast for the next day. There was always adequate parking. For the quality of the hotel, the price was high, but most hotels of good quality were booked due to the Gem and Mineral shows and peak season for Tucson. All considered, two stars is pretty generous.

Our room, bathroom, kitchenette area were clean and functional. Queen beds were clean and comfortable. While this inn does offer amenities such as a small coffee pot and pods, small fridge/freezer, desk, good lighting and a pool (we didn't use), plus a complimentary brunch (always welcome!), large remote TV, it was limited by no bathroom sink or counter space, only the sink and small counter in the kitchenette area. The price for what we got was the main draw for us....1/3 the cost of other hotels/inns. This was perfect for a short period of time, only overnight in our case, and very friendly front-desk staff. Functional, very reasonable, clean and comfortable. We would definitely stay again.

The first room I was in had a major issue with the door. It had clearly been broken into and glued back together. The door frame was bent and the door wouldn't lock or latch without a lot of effort and multiple attempts. I could see outside when the door did finally latch, and I could see underneath the door to the outside. Not a safe place for a solo woman to stay. Thd room also smelled of stale cigarette smoke. The second room I was placed in had issues with maintenence as well. The refrigerator wasn't plugged in and was filthy behind it and the dresser it was fit into. The floor tiles in the bathroom were wobbly and the grout was broken and tracked onto the carpet each time I walked out of the bathroom. The caulking in the shower had black mold throughout. I actually bought a mold and mildew cleaner and doused the caulking with it. The rest of the building is in disrepair. The carpets are stained and haven't been cleaned. I don't recommend this hotel.

Very poor room condition; main lamp was extremely dim, and bedside lamps had no bulbs at all. The door into the adjoining room was broken and being held against the wall by a piece of furniture. Exterior doors to the property did not latch, so anyone from the public could walk into the motel hallways. Definitely the most sketch motel I have stayed in many years. I have always had a good experience with Expedia on making reservations, but Did not appreciate Expedia’s pricing algorithm; it sold me a nonrefundable high price as the “last one available, then AFTER booking Expedia came back with a much lower price for the exact same room. Just a bad Expedia experience all around.

It is a dated hotel. And it is north of Tucson in the town of Catalina, AZ. So if you want to be closer to downtown Tucson, this may not be the place to stay.

That being said, the staff and GM made the stay comfortable and resolved any issues. They really cared to make the stay nice. Plus, Catalina State Park is a few miles away along with horseback riding ranches and Oro Valley Marketplace. So it is a good place to stay if those are your intentions.

1. We were given a room that we could not get the door open. We were told by staff to just hit it really hard. It did not work.
2. We were given another room that the door also stuck but we finally did get it open. However, this room had no towels so we dealt with that.
3. The staff felt bad so they moved us to a bigger room on the first floor (there is no elevator) this room had no towel bars at all.
4. After staying one night in that room I found that the mattress had a huge dark brown stain completely across the mattress and half way down. I then pulled the sheet and mattress pad completely down and found about a eight old blood stain. I am a nurse so I know what a blood stain looks like, we checked out at 2am.

We had to stay in this hotel as it was the closest to a family member that was passing away. We had no choice of any other ones except farther away.
Room door sticky and hard to open, keys had to be rekeyed numerous times. Never was fixed.
Toilet seat loose and slipping
Light bulb out and we changed new one and fixture loose so didn’t work
Carpet falling off the walls on one side of room.
Dirt in the baseboards
Bathroom dirt still there after changing toilet seat
Housekeeping almost non existent.
Checked in on Monday evening. No housekeeping at all, except empty trash and replace towels and make the bed. until we complained on Saturday and then were told they only clean long term people on Wed and Sat. Well, they never came in on Wednesday. We put our trash out and they took that. Had to get towels, toilet paper, garbage bags from front desk clerk.
Emily, evening clerk, excellent. She changed the toilet seat. Guess maintenance is not available on weekends. But they never came in at all to fix anything. So if they were here during the week, they never came and fixed things.
Finally on Sunday 1/11 we finally went to the front desk and told them again that housekeeping never vacuumed or cleaned the mirror or sink or toilet. We had been there almost 10 days.
But lo and behold when we came back Sunday night, the room had been vacuumed, mirror washed, sink cleaned, trash picked up, towels replaced, bed made. Strange we had to wait until our stay was almost over to get this
