Hotel McCoy Tucson - Art, Coffee, Beer, Wine
This motel/hotel is fun to visit and the oatmeal bar is great. The online advertising talks about available menu items but during my stay it was hit and miss whether they have ingredients to make them. Local wines and beer are available always. Good value for the price.
