There is a $100 deposit that isn't listed on the website. There is a gem and mineral show with tents that cover the pool area and parking area that was not mentioned when reserving the room and also because of the show there is no continental breakfast. I was very disappointed with the amenities and check in. There is a door for patio access that is stuck and a stick drilled across the bottom window which has no opening??? I would not stay here again.

The staff at Red Lion Inn & Suites Tucson is very friendly and helpful. The room was adequate, a bit run down and needs deeper cleaning after stays. Specifically the floors. The staff is making an effort to attract a better clientele however they definitely have a challenge. We stayed for 3 nights and were woken up each night by others staying.
