The staff at Red Lion Inn & Suites Tucson is very friendly and helpful. The room was adequate, a bit run down and needs deeper cleaning after stays. Specifically the floors. The staff is making an effort to attract a better clientele however they definitely have a challenge. We stayed for 3 nights and were woken up each night by others staying.

Great place to stay with affordable rate. The staffing and crews were all exceptional. They were working tirelessly to ensure the customers' satisfaction. Starting from the breakfast, which were great. We could not compare with some hotels that we stayed in the past. They total exceeded our expectations.
