"It's now the center of Tucson's hippest scene and a great place to stay for younger or more adventurous visitors." Full review

The convenient location Downtown means it can be noisy, so make sure you don't get a room over the popular Club Congress unless you plan to be up until the wee hours.

"The Western-themed Flamirgo motel is a much-loved Tucson fixture, and from the outside it still looks straight out of the 1950s."

"A top budget option, offering snazzy style, a convenient location near the University and a pretty darn good breakfast... It retains a lot of its great 1950s Rat Pack vibe." Full review
