Hotel McCoy - Art, Coffee, Beer, Wine
What a fun place to stay! Why stay at the same old hotel/motel, when there is the McCoy. We love the whole philosophy art-travel-comfort.

Super Inn Tucson
Nice room, the location is good being next to the freeway but there are a lot of homeless people around. The bed was comfortable, the air conditioning worked, and the shower was hot so for the price I think it was a good hotel. If you are looking for a cheap place to stay this is a good option.
