The motel on a whole is very average, but then we paid just $41/night to stay there. Skip the meager continental breakfast. The bed was average (not stable to the floor), the air conditioning worked fine, though it was loud. About what you would expect from a budget motel. Centrally located near the University.

My daughter and I stayed here on the last night of our vacation in Tucson. It was very clean, quiet and the price was right, 86.30 for the two of us including taxes. It is conveniently located near the University. Morning coffee was a little on the weak side, but everything else about the place was great.

It was a disappointing surprise.
Front Desk: attended by 2 young men, who were speaking a dialect while I was waiting. No eye contact during any of our interactions.

ROOM: cold, with the very bare necessities. Heater was inefficient but noisy, gloomy. Outside was 30' F. Asked for extra blankets. those in the room were very thin and smelly. " We run out of blankets." The motel had very few passengers by 9:30 PM.
"Could you please take them out of an empty room, even if the blanket was smaller than the bed." "Come, I'll show you the house keeping room." "I'd rather stay in the room, but I'll go." " See is empty."
I was getting nowhere, but cold, and they were not interested in helping me. I asked politely for their supervisor. "We already spoke with him and told us " no more blankets."
We called CHOICE HOTELS, who had made our reservations and promised "100% satisfaction guarantee or the room or I do not pay for the room." Their supervisor repeated the same statements as the two employees, and increased my demoralized spirit by adding "I cannot move you to another hotel because you have been there a few more minutes more than the 10' authorized by the hotel!!
I called another supervisor of CHOICE HOTELS, and 5' after his call, the 2 employees decided to cooperate and bring 2 blankets.
They threw them inside the room without any explanation, apology, or eye contact.

BREAKFAST: no special area. Is in the small reception area where you talk to the front desk staff. No chairs, except an old coach that seats 2 people. The food consisted of cold cereal and old ,greasy pastries. Coffee: burned. The morning attendant at the front desk, could only shrug his shoulders.

I run, faster than the wind, towards the closest coffee shop to get a reasonable breakfast (which turned out to be good).

04/01/2008 - This hotel was not fit to occupy. We tried to leave when we saw the condition of the room but were told we reserved the room, we pay for the room. (There is an expectation that the room is acceptable.) We canceled the second night upon arrival and were informed that they would do us a favor and let the second night charge slide. The towels in the bathroom looked as if they had been used by the last guest and never cleaned. There was hair in the bed and one pillow case was soiled. The cushion of at least one chair was so dirty we hated to have to use it. I requested a clock from the desk clerk, but never received it. The condition of the bath tub was simply deplorable. It appeared that someone tried to refinish the bathtub using a paint-on material. Unfortunately it didn't work as it was pealing away all around the drain. (This was disturbing as I wondered what type of bacteria could be growing under the peeling.) The shower head was rusted as was the overflow drain cover. We found on the floor two pieces sausage for some prior guests' pizza, a pony tail holder, a box of cigarettes, and a bottle cap. It took two of us to lock the window. A locked window is needed for protection against the sleazy neighborhood.
