Lobby customer service was great Valerie and another two young men were so nice but the charges not
Pros:

Floors were not clean the balcony had trash and sheets weren’t the sheets we were suited to have but we were still charged for usage… we were there for multiple days without turn overs for sheets or towels

Cons:

No new towels no new sheets … someone came and saw sheets were wrong and damaged from previous use and nothing changed and we were still charged for days of using the same towels and sheets for more than one nights stay… not fair

Don't do it!
Pros:

Convenient location.

Cons:

Ran out of food, plates, and even utensils for breakfast. The room was painted and the flooring was newish, but the door needed to slam in order to close. The bathroom door wouldn't close and the light switches were not wired correctly. In order to turn on the bathroom light, the main room light needed to be one. This woke everyone up during the night.

Homeless people were congregating everywhere. I did not feel comfortable.

Bad hotel.
Pros:

There is nothing I can say I liked about this hotel. The poor cleaner did her job, but the place is really old.

Cons:

The building is old, the surruonding was so cramped with gemstone show in the parking lot.

They said breakfast is included, that was a lie. There was no breakfast.

Currently there is a police investigation about this Red Lion Hotel downtown Tucson for some bad things they are doing in the hotel rooms.
