Top hotels in New Tucson
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.
