Really enjoyed the free two-hour bike rental and the beautiful rooftoop pool, it is a gem. But noise from the outside was a problem sometimes

Red Lion Inn & Suites Tucson Downtown
There was an event at the hotel the night we stayed and the music was so loud it sounded like it was coming from the room next to us and the event didn’t end until 2 in the morning so I couldn’t get any sleep and all the people from the event took all the parking so there was no where to park.
