La Siesta Motel in Tucson

Arrived to a completely empty parking lot. No guest, no one at office. Simply a phone number scribbled on a dirty crumpled piece of paper wedged in the screen door that said "call this number".
Long story short, person arrived in a car, said he'd show me the room. At this point i had to entertain my curiosity. He only had 2 rooms available. The other dozen empty rooms must not have been livable? This room had one bed (I reserved 2 doubles) and I should've captured a picture because a description couldn't paint a clear picture of what unbelievably was slightly above condemned.
In the owners defense, he explained that they recently aquired this property and inherited it in this condition. The new owners own the Roadway Inn across the street. He offered me a room there. I was hesitant but overcame my skepticism and ended up with a decent 2 bed room that was clean and accommodating. The price was nothing special but at this late hour I was simply satisfied to sleep in a clean place.

The towels were dirty, there were cigarette buds in a few places, the toilet was clogged, the whole place hasn't been swept and mopped in who knows how long. The guy in charge didn't seem to be surprised when I brought up the fact that the shower window didn't close and lock. But worst of all, we're really got to me was the fact that the TV had no remote.

You get what you pay for, cheep room yes . Helpful staff no. A roll of the eyes and a sack of the lip, if you ask for anything, unless the manager can do it from where he is sitting. Was there for almost a month , clean my own room,changed my own bedding, brought my own cleaning stuff bleach wipes,mop,broom,trash bags. Bud spray ,touch traps ect..... Still took over a week to get a lite for the lamp after asking everyday a few times a day

Seems like it was going to be a good place to rent for something that was so inexpensive for the gem show. 1 day we left our room and realize that we had for got a bag went back 10 minutes later and the manager was rifling through our belongs. He gave us an excuse that he thought we checked out. Hmmmm needless to say we checked out and would never recommend this place to anyone.

I've stayed here twice (Fall of 2011 and about three yrs ago when this motel was warmly recommended by "tourist bureau" downtown).
Three yrs ago, it was Wonderful, moderately priced with beautiful, if small & older, rooms. Newly & nicely appointed. Owner/Manager was a very gracious and cool guy. Saltwater pool was great & unique.
Last year- New Management and a different story. Same room appointments- just older and not as well kept. Central patio was not kept up and was run down. Pool was empty & locked. The Manager was slow to react. We wanted to stay 2 nights but moved on after 1, and were sad to have to do that.
