This is a reasonable place to get a night's rest. I was there last week and the desk personnel were very nice when I arrived. Somone called the paramedics because they were a diabetic so there was some commotion going on outside, otherwise this place was quiet and I got a good night sleep. The rate was great, the location is good and Tucson has fantastic weather this time of year, so if you want to enjoy the weather before the influx of snowbirds this is a good time to spend a few nights there.

I don't understand the tirade of negative reviews here about this hotel. I had a good stay here. OK, so it's not top luxury, but it's clean and convenient for the nearby 10 Freeway, and not far from downtown Tucson. I didn't have any bad experiences with shady characters being alluded to here. The breakfast is quite simple, but nothing worst than you would get in any other budget hotel. I'd certainly return, as the experience was not a bad one.

Don't stay here unless you want to get bit by bed bugs!!!! My husband and I were tired after a long drive and we saw Howard Johnson and assumed it was going to be a descent room (since it is a 2 star)!! Anyway as soon as arriving there were numerous of people outside drinking, the people next door were arguing, the water in the bathtub wouldn't drain by the end of the shower the water almost filled the tub! We weren't able to watch TV as channels didn't work properly! Room smelled horrible even though it was a non smoking room, bed was too old!!

But what topped it off were the bed bugs!!!!! My husband I were ready to go to sleep and we laid on top of comforters and pillows when my husband began to itch all over!! While scratching he saw a small bug which turned out to be a small red bed bug we immediately grabbed our belongings after 2 hours and luckily we got our money back and drove to another bed bug free hotel!!

Don't ever stay here!!

We arrived at 11 PM with a prepaid vocher.
The guy at the reception did not know what is that!!!
He tried to phone somwhere what to do, but nobody answered the phone.
So we had to pay the room again.
Then we get a "room" which was worse than a prison.
(We had a cockroach also in the bathtub)

I asked another room, it was a bit better (without cockroach), but it was a nightmare too.
