What guests think

At Royal Sun Inn & Suites, travelers describe an older, motel-style property with mixed upkeep: many find rooms comfortable and spacious, while others report maintenance problems, worn fixtures, weak water pressure, and aging bathrooms that need attention.

Staff are frequently praised as friendly and accommodating, though a few guests mention miscommunication and occasional rudeness. Breakfast and on-site dining receive mixed reviews: some enjoyed substantial options at the attached restaurant, while others found the buffet limited or felt the made-to-order advertising was misleading. The location is convenient to the University of Arizona and downtown, but several reviews note visible homelessness nearby, some safety concerns, and occasional train or street noise. Expect solid value if priorities align, but experiences vary.

The property was misrepresented. Received numerous emails that breakfast was provided as cook to order - when we got there were informed that it was just a basic buffet. The staff were aware that info on website was incorrect but were not able to change it. Pool was supposed to be heated and it was not. Informed we were "safe" walking towards the downtown but do not go the other way. The floors were not carpeted and were not clean - feet got extremely dirty walking on them. Most of staff was very good and professional.

Hector, at the front desk, was very friendly and kind. After we got to our room, he called to make sure everything was okay. He provided me with a toothbrush and brought it to my room. I told Hector the Jacuzzi was not clean, and the pool guy was out there the next morning cleaning it. Breakfast was good with a lot of options. The young lady in the cafeteria was attentive and kept everything clean.

We had a very nice stay. The suite was large and set up well for our needs. It could probably use an update, but everything worked and it was clean. We couldn't hear people next to us, but definitely heard them above us. The breakfast was delicious with lots of choices. The pool was heated, so we were able to swim in April! The staff was very kind and helpful. We will definitely be staying here again!

The room was old and rundown. Window faces walkway so you have to leave it closed. Scratchy towels. Poor water pressure. TV didn't work -- but to staff's credit they tried to fix it and offered to move us to a suite, but we were already settled in and tired. Sheets rather rough although OK. Noisy nearby bar kept us up one night with heavy bass. Breakfast at co-located restaurant was free but bad -- weak coffee, watery oatmeal, underdone bacon, untempting sausage patty, out of yogurt. BTW, no elevator to second floor.

After speaking to the front area clerk to request for a bottom floor room due to a recent surgery and no elevator available at the facilities, Expedia was not able to cancel the reservation which was done late at night due to recent hospital discharge times. Being a unique situation, we expected understanding by cancelling our reservation even though my husband mistakenly got the keys to the room before knowing there was no elevator available at the premises. The Best Western employee was very accesible to cancel the reservation and the person helping from Expedia did not want to accept the cancellation of the room because my husband had already received the keys to the room. I am very disappointed for this decision since we constantly use Expedia for our reservations. Again, it was unique circumstances where a manager could have been able to make an exemption and cancel the room. We were going to use Expedia for another hotel that could accommodate our needs anyway. The negatives of the hotel were not having an elevator available, but Expedia disappointed us for not being able to understand the situation and cancel the reservation. We ended up keeping the room due to this and the time, but I definitely risked opening my surgery incision by using the hotel’s stairs.

The room was nice as well as clean, with a large comfortable bed. The staff were all polite and check us in pretty quickly. Had a lot of fun hanging out at the bar and restaurant "Bumstead's" attached to the hotel, where we all sang Karaoke with some friends eating delicious food and good drinks. Didn't have the time to enjoy the pool and jacuzzi, but it looked refreshing. Would definitely stay again.

We booked this during the Gem & Mineral Show in Tucson, so we paid very high rates for the room. The property has very nice garden area to sit in with shade and water features. The rooms are tired, though, with the fixtures showing their age (very loose handles) and dim lighting. The beds are very good, however. Parking was not a problem even though the hotel was fully booked. The breakfast provided was second class, with bargain brand cereals and reconstituted scrambled eggs. Nice fruit choices, though. The hot choices did not vary over three mornings. Overall I would rate this an average hotel experience.

Nice older hotel, well maintaned to a point. Very noisey if you're on the 1st floor you can hear any movement people make upstairs. Wi-Fi was awful, worse than the old dial-up on AOL. Couldnt connect to email or anything, terrible. I've enjoyed staying here for years but im done. reported the wi-fi and nothing was done. also had a broken light switch 6 inches away from the shower VERY DANGEROUS! I always liked staying there because of the retro design etc, and the food is decent at the adjacent restaurant for Breakfast. The staff is nice enough, but dealing with a lot of things out of their reach and the owners probably don't care about things like Wi-Fi access in the 21st Century

Is an older BW property, but maintained well. Beds were comfortable, a/c worked great, clean room and most impressive how friendly and helpful the staff were. All greeted you with a 'good morning' or hello as they encountered you. A bit disappointed with the surrounding area...homeless camps across street in park area...not the BW's fault.

Property was super close and convenient to university for move in weekend. We had the place to ourselves, not too busy. It was nice. Some train noise at night, but not bad. Facilities were older but well maintained. Only negatives were that there were homeless across the street at the park but they never bothered us at all ( and it was just me and my daughter at times). The only real negative was that the hotel still states cooked to order breakfast- this hasn’t been true since July 2024, I believe. They offer a decent breakfast bar with several warm and cold options but not cooked to order.

Right across the street from park with lots of homeless. Found a person scavenging in a trash can next to my room when I came home one night. Did not feel safe and did not feel safe leaving my car parked. Was provided ear plugs upon arrival. That’s never a good sign. Since I was right next to a noisy ice machine I needed to use them. Very poor experience. The employees were nice which was their only redeeming quality.

It was advertised with free made to order breakfast and that was not true. They had self serve toast and pastries with only decaf coffee and apple juice. That was it. They shouldn’t even offer breakfast because that was terrible. No coffee?!?!?!?! The room was clean but in disrepair. The drawers wouldn’t close and the door stuck so you really had to put your shoulder into it to open it.
