Red Roof Inn Tucson - Vail | Book like an insider

What guests think

At Red Roof Inn Tucson - Vail, guests describe a basic, budget stay with convenient freeway access, but report mixed service, a sketchy-feeling area, limited amenities, maintenance issues, and occasional noise from neighbors or traffic.

Many appreciate the low prices, clean rooms, in-room fridges and microwaves, and easy parking. Concerns include unfriendly or rigid front-desk interactions, outdoor window check-in at times, and housekeeping provided only when requested. Several note a hard-to-spot entrance and limited walkability, especially after dark. Expect a no-frills stopover with basic comforts and variable service.

Las instalaciones son buenas, todo funciona muy bien, siempre hubo agua caliente y la presión de la ducha excelente. Me gustó la inclusión de frigobar y horno de micro ondas. El Dollar General que está cerca vende comida congelada a buen precio, así que se ahorra bastante. Sin embargo la atención del encargado deja mucho que desear, no es amable ni paciente con el cliente. Algo más, no me asearon el cuarto y al final de la estancia, cuando reclamé la falta del servicio me dijeron que debí haberlo solicitado previamente.

The location is good but there anything in a decent walking area. What it is is a clean low cost place to sleep. No coffee in the rooms, no extras. If all you want is a clean place to sleep this is a good place

Nothing mentioned on the app that this hotel does not have snack or drink machines. At night walking, for someone without a car, wasn’t an option. Needs better lighting. Plugs on the wall lamps don’t work.

I’ve stayed here twice for the Duct Tape Drag event in Tucson. I was alone so I wasn’t expecting anything special, just a place to sleep and shower. The room was clean, the ac worked, and the bed was stiff. The location is odd because it’s off the freeway access road. If you like swimming, you cant! It’s cemented in. Overall I was looking to save money, not hang out here.

It’s nice to have a hotel that doesn’t charge senseless fees. What the price says, is what you pay. No tricks. I appreciate that when I sent a message saying I was working late and I wouldn’t make it by the check in deadline, I was greeted with a “welcome home” attitude. Check in was fast and easy. I was offered the WiFi code without having to ask for it. Thank you for a great night sleep. I would have loved more pillows for the king size bed.

The check in is outside, had to stand in the cold to check in. The room was fairly clean but the microwave area had food on the counter upon arrival. Was a little weird that staff was waiting outside our door when we left even though we weren’t near the checkout time.

Rooms are cleaned almost every day or upon request. Restroom toilet was not attached properly, hole in the restroom door, it smelled like smoke even tho it was a non smoking room. Area is surrounded by homeless who every day get near the vehicles and rooms and have their camp fire 5 feet from Parker vehicles.

The room was dirty with stains on the floor. The bathtub drain was clogged. There were people outside and in the next room at all hours making noise. They would not change my and here unhelpful. They could have cared less. They was also a fifty dollar deposit that I had to pay. The photos that appeared in the description are not representative of what the actual motel looks like, a welfare motel is actually what it was. I don’t think I’ll be using your services anymore.

When we arrived the lobby was locked and desk agent wouldn't let us in the lobby (it was not late). Had to checkin through a small side window that only allowed space to slide my ID and CC through. Immediately made it feel like this might not be a safe area. The man who checked us in made a paper copy of my ID and scanned my CC. He was not friendly or welcoming in any way. The room had an odd smell. Bed linens and towels were dirty. Yellow spots on the sheets, what looked like makeup or dirt on the pillow, and brownish bits of dirt on the washcloth. Toilet was filthy and obviously not scrubbed or cleaned. I would not recommend this motel.
