This property is a little run down, and my room was missing key components like a luggage rack, tv remote etc. Then after housekeeping service they did not refill the coffee nor did they give me a new bath mat after they took all the towels. The food in the restaurant was so-so. Front desk was very nice however.

Wasn't what i expected. The graduate in Tucson was so nice. I thought all graduates were the same standard. The one man black hair was very very very nice. The young lady was helpful but the older body girl with blond hair was so unpleasant. And the rooms have a kinda bad smell. And no microwave or refrigerator.
