Hotel Details

Location

Off Highway 10, a 5-minute walk from Tucson Convention Center and 10 minutes' drive from the University of Arizona.
The motel is situated directly off Highway 10, providing easy car access to downtown Tucson and the surrounding area. The Tucson Convention Center is within a 5-minute walk, making it a practical choice for event attendees. The University of Arizona is a 10-minute drive away, and Tucson International Airport is 12 km from the property. Downtown restaurants and attractions are accessible on foot, and a Carl's Jr is next door. Freeway noise can be audible in some rooms; requesting a room away from the highway can improve sleep quality.

Accommodation

Air-conditioned rooms with private bathroom, TV, microwave, mini fridge, and tea/coffee maker. Some rooms are spacious suites.
Guest rooms include air conditioning, heating, a flat-screen cable TV, a desk, seating area, and parquet floors. Each room has a private bathroom with a bath, shower, and hairdryer. Suites offer a separate living area with additional space. Rooms with two queen beds are available, and some have been renovated while others show signs of age and wear. Noise from the freeway and adjacent rooms can be an issue; quieter rooms are typically located away from the highway. No rooms have balconies.

Dining

Free continental breakfast daily (except during Gem Show), with vending machines for snacks and drinks.
A complimentary continental breakfast is served each morning from 06:00 to 09:00, typically including cereals, bread, coffee, juice, and occasionally hot items like scrambled eggs and sausage. Breakfast is not offered during the Gem Show (January 15 - February 20). There is no restaurant on-site, but vending machines with snacks and drinks are available. The adjacent Carl's Jr and numerous downtown restaurants within walking distance provide alternative dining options.

Wellness and Leisure

Outdoor swimming pool open daily from 08:00 to 21:00, year-round.
The property features an outdoor swimming pool that is open all year, with operating hours from 08:00 to 21:00 daily. The pool area provides a basic leisure option, though landscaping may be minimal. No spa, hot tub, or fitness facilities are available.

Facilities and Services

Free WiFi, free parking, 24-hour front desk, luggage storage, laundry facilities, and a business centre.
Free WiFi is available throughout the property. Free private parking is provided on-site (reservation not possible). The 24-hour front desk offers luggage storage and has an ATM on-site.

Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Confirm breakfast availability if staying between January 15 and February 20, as it is not served during the Gem Show event.

  • 02

    Request a room away from the freeway for a quieter stay, particularly if you are a light sleeper.

  • 03

    Pay the $50 deposit with a credit card to avoid the $100 cash deposit and potential delays in return.

  • 04

    Use the free on-site parking - no reservation is needed, but spaces fill quickly during events.
