This little place was a very pleasant surprise!

We stayed for one night to attend a concert in town. The rooms were really cool looking. They were super clean and the bed was very comfortable. It was actually a very quiet hotel, which we appreciated, as we like to sleep in. Plenty of parking in a safe area. The air conditioning worked great! The staff was really nice and had us laughing upon check in. The owner greeted us in the parking lot as we were leaving and asked for our feedback. I was really impressed. We will definitely stay here again. The only suggestion I gave the owner was to CLR the shower head a little, as a few of the streams were clogged. But overall, even that didn't bother me. It was still a very clean shower/tub. Try this Inn in your next stay! Great price and you won't be disappointed!

We came for family weekend at U of A. This hotel is 1 mile away so it was good for walking to the University, food and bars. Down side is it’s in a rough neighborhood. Staff was very friendly and rooms were clean and comfy beds.

Football trip.

It’s very convenient location. Walking distance to the University and downtown but there are plenty of ride share options so you can park and go. Recently remodeled and very functional at a great price. Perfect to go to Games at the Uni or just sightseeing and touring Tucson.
