Excellent

I was impressed. The room was clean and decorated nicely. The building has solar panels. They had continental breakfast and water available. My stay was short, but I felt at home there.
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!
The owners have updated everything in the rooms but there are still issues due to the age and overall upkeep of the structure. The A/C units are noisy enough to wake you repeatedly in the night. There were what appeared to be booklice crawling on the bathroom counter and other surfaces. The traffic on Stone is also extremely noisy.
Pleasantly surprised. The area around is rather sketchy but this quaint inn is clean and the rooms are very nice.

I was very impressed with the cleanliness of the property. The staff was very kind and attentive. It is definitely an older propert but a lot of care has gone into making it a comfortable stay. The price couldn't be beat!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
Would stay there again. Good value
Very sketchy neighborhood. Exterior 2 stars, interior 4 stars
The room was clean and renovated. Bed was firm and comfortable, with three pillows on each bed. Huge TV, ice machine on site, minimal but sufficient breakfast available in the mornings, parking was convenient. Very close to downtown area. Great value for the money! Nothing fancy but highly recommend this place for practical stays.
Property only had limited king-size beds (which we had reserved) on first floor, and had no elevators, so my mobility-limited wife couldn't reach what was left on 2nd floor. No refund so we took double beds. Toilet had leaking flapper valve so we had to shut off water supply to avoid it running off and on all night. Shower drain very sluggish. No towel rack near sink.
It was quite clean, though, and staff did help with TV that had come disconnected from antenna.
