Down to earth Motel no frills cable TV is great and innkeeper is great. A little bit of road noise, but you get used to it real quick no issues sleeping, showers are hot. Not bad for the price for a week. Check them out...........
Don't let the location and outside appearance run you away. The price is so affordable you'll see why I give this place my four star rating. It's quiet quiet quiet. What most guest seem to look for when booking a Hotel. My only von would be update furniture and change choice of bedding and curtains.
Let me tell you, my husband and I were treated so kindly by the owners/management! They were so so helpful and the prices, not to mention were excellent. My husband was actually having vehicle problems and the owner loaned him a tool he needed and gave him a hand in getting his truck running. Most people in tucson are standoffs or just plain rude but, not this couoke!! They were kind and hospitable to my family and I and the rooms were very clean and comfortable!!!!
This is a Tucson staple. This place has been here for years. The couple that own and run the Economy Inn on east Benson hwy are very nice respectful and courteous. This is a small place and it is well maintained. Some of the rooms here are extra small so you might consider getting a room for two even if it is only you. Most of the rooms here have a small carport to park your car in, some do not. The prices here are reasonable and if you word your sentences correctly the prices could be negotiable. Just a small hint. Oh and definitely use booking.com to get a better price as well. I have stayed at this place several times when I want to be left alone and relax. It's quiet here and I've never been disturbed by any of the usual hotel night zombies. I do recommend the Economy Inn on east Benson hwy by the emergency men's shelter.
Rooms were clean and cozy. And well-stocked with the essential amity's. There was no excess noise or bothersome neighbors. Staffers gliding courteous and left us to our own accord, when we needed it and much appreciated it. Price was very inexpensive. Location was a little iffy. What do worth it. I highly recommend this establishment.
Good room,great staff. Charged me $17 more than i booked online, but other than that it was good. Clean room, nice comfy bed. Even though located right off feeder road I slept great. Will definitely be back soon
The rooms are nice n clean, the people who run it are friendly, and it's only a short walk to a grocery store and restaurants. The only thing that bothered me was the homeless shelter for men. As a single woman, it bothered me. And I just avoid any situation like that. I wasn't bothered or anything. It just made me uncomfortable. If that's not something that bothers you, this place is great. It's quiet, clean, and well managed.
This a really great place to stay, it's completely affordable and within walking distance of everything you need. The owners are very courteous and committed to making sure the guest feel comfortable and safe. I am very pleased with the service, thank you very much for your efforts.
