“The Red Lion Inn & Suites Tucson Downtown caters primarily to budget-conscious business and solo travelers needing a basic overnight stay. Its accessibility to the highway is a plus for those exploring Tucson, but be aware that the surrounding area can feel unsafe, particularly after dark. While some rooms have been renovated, reports of cleanliness issues and malfunctioning amenities are concerning, so it's a gamble.”
