Red Roof Inn Tucson Downtown – University
The staff here are very nice. The housekeeping department are some of the hardest working ladies i have come across in quite some time. You can tell they take pride in their work with how clean the rooms are. The maintenance crew also put in a lot of hard work behind the scenes at keeping this place ...
