Excellent location not far from the university campus. The rooms have been remodeled recently; we were quite pleased with them. The manager was very friendly and checked us in quickly. He stopped what he was doing a little later to help me with the soda machine. We would recommend this motel if you have an event in Tucson. We also walked across the street to Bumsteads for a drink and dinner. Wow, great food!
