Football trip.
It’s very convenient location. Walking distance to the University and downtown but there are plenty of ride share options so you can park and go. Recently remodeled and very functional at a great price. Perfect to go to Games at the Uni or just sightseeing and touring Tucson.

Tucson Visit
University Inn is a recently remodeled hotel. It's easy access to I-10. Close to downtown Tucson and many restaurants. Room was clean, bed very comfortable, and room was quiet. Price for the night good too. We will stay again.

Wonderful place to stay if you’re going to the Rialto Inn for a concert. A quick five minute Lyft ride will get you there.
