Brandi was rude and had an attitude with us when we comforted her about roaches being in our room. She came up with excuses to try and have us stay in the room with bugs instead of comping us with a new room. She on multiple occasions refused to clean or assist with the room and would commit the cardinal sin of having the guest use the plunger or clean the room ourselves. it’s beyond embarrassing. Every time my girlfriend and I stay here we end up going through 3 different rooms before we find one with decent environment. It’s either roaches, dirty rooms, no AC, or dead bugs everywhere. It seems to be obvious that the cleaning ladies don’t clean the rooms at all. On multiple occasions we’ve had to ask for someone to clean our room before we even settle down. Even then they just do a sweep and there’s still issues with the room following such as dirty showers with dry soap from the previous guests and serious plumbing issues with the place. Every other time you use the toilet it will clog. The maintenance man is the best thing about the place he’s hardworking and always gets the job done I commentate his work. It’s the shame the rest of the staff doesn’t share his work ethic.

Honestly one of if not the dirtiest hotels I’ve ever stayed at. $64 for one night I guess you get what you pay for…Blood stained on the underside of one of the pillows that I unfortunately didn’t notice until the next morning so I couldn’t go somewhere else, Lime- coated shower head that wasn’t even attached to the wall, black and white stains on the shower curtain, dirty sink faucet and smudges on the mirror…. WOW I have never been so disgusted by a room in my life I’ll never stay here again and I will warn everyone I can about staying here as well. I’d rate 0 stars if I could. And the nerve to charge a deposit too (at least I got THAT back). Not to mention the breakfast was cold as well.

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 room was spotless as usual. This is my "go-to" place to stay in Tucson. It's now luxerious, but, it's very comefortable. Also, the pictures are always accurate. I feel like it's one of the "Best bangs for your buck" around. Also, the staff is always friendly and helpful. Can't beat the free breakfast either. Perfectly, centrally located. The manager, Annalisa, is one of the friendliest, attentive people I've come across in the hotel industry. Red Lion Inn & Suites in Tucson definitely deserves 5 stars for its affordability, customer service, and cleanliness.
