Hotel McCoy Tucson - Art, Coffee, Beer, Wine
Love this hotel. I was concerned when we drove up and rooms open to parking lot. However, I felt safe. Every detail transported you back to the 60s. Room was great. It was nice to park to directly in front of the room. Staff was friendly. Oatmeal breakfast was excellent.
