Hotel McCoy

Loved it. When in Tucson, we will only stay at the McCoy. We're both seniors and we like adventure! If you seek the eclectic; the eccentric; then you'll be right at home with the McCoy. An overhauled mid-century modern motel turned into a very clever motel artfully decorated and up to every standard you would expect. No reason to stay in "cookie-cutter" lodging where everything is the same when we can stay in a place we'll be talking about.....for a long, long time. If the McCoy is one thing, the McCoy is NOT like anything you've experienced. A bargain, by our standards Stay at the McCoy and you'll be regaling your friends with your experience, for months.

I am glad I got to experience this hotel, and would recommend it to young folks with pets for an easy place to stay on their cross-country roadtrip, but I would have to be convinced to come back. It's not for me now, but I know it would've been in my college era. Starting with the goods: the local flavor is unmatched. There is no doubt that the concept was born from a person who loves Tucson and has built community here. From the murals, to the Tucson-specific named parking spaces, to the variety of stained glass and paintings for sale, the typewriters inviting you to contribute to a ghost story if there had been any paper nearby, to the local finds "vending" machine, it all feels very intentional and I love the showcase of uniqueness. Complimentary laundry was an excellent option, and EV chargers are available by the pinball room! Upon arrival, staff made me feel welcome and check-in was a breeze. I also loved my complimentary first drink of local beer, and the PM staff were just really friendly and seemed like they enjoyed being at the hotel. The rooms are nicely decorated with enough places to sit, and the beds were so comfortable. Heated pool, gallery space with cozy couches, and the bar area in general make it a great place for friend groups and meeting new people, if that's your thing. But the bads: it's kind of impossible feel clean in the room - my bare feet were black after a few minutes of shuffling around to the shower, and the towels are as thin (and small) as paper. The AC unit is incredibly loud when it kicks on. The walls are so thin, I could hear word-by-word conversations of the college students staying on the next room over. There's a LOT of dogs and while owners do their best to get them to the small area in front of the gym/laundry room, there is a prevailing smell of pee and barking while dogs make friends - we were one of the furthest from the dog area and it was still audible. And the AM lobby staff were not so welcoming - they were flustered and pulled in multiple directions the morning we left, in that they were handling everything from coffee refills, oatmeal service, checkout, and guest complaints/evictions. They were trying their best, but the hotel should consider additional staff in the mornings. Water and ice machine were also a lil on the fritz when I and others were trying to fill bottles in the AM and the single lobby staff member had to try to help us troubleshoot too.All in all, I'm not mad that I brought my family to Hotel McCoy. But I unfortunately wouldn't bring them back.

I don't have a handlebar mustache or wear suspenders but I do appreciate hipster aesthetic. I like funky art and irony and good coffee. What I don't like is stained linens, threadbare towels, an inroom fridge that gurgles all night, and questionable plumbing. Also, having an extremely amplified jam band doing weak Grateful Dead covers at 9pm (80+ decibels at my door) when I have a 6am flight in the morning, well, chef's kiss to that. The staff are all super friendly but have a first-day-as-an-intern skill set. The location is convenient if you work at the Amazon distribution center across the street or want to get on I-10 in less than a minute. Surprisingly comfortable mattress tho. That's why they get 2 stars.

Glad I had the opportunity to check out this amazing retro hotel! The friendly welcome, the free beer coupons, the tasty oatmeal/Pop-tart bar-- all top-notch! And the cute, retro room made me smile!I was concerned that the proximity to the freeway would be a noise issue, but I wasn't bothered at all. Check this place out, traveling people!

This place claims to be "pet friendly" but doesn't allow cats. Cats are family members which are considered "pets."There's no need to make a PCS even more of a hardship for military families.

Super awesome hotel with very reasonable prices and fantastic staff.If you're looking for an artsy boutique style hotel this will be your jam! The rooms are clean and have gorgeous colorful murals.When you arrive you will get a token for a beer, wine or cider. They have a full bar and food truck.The pool is super cute too! Can't beat the price and quality!

This place is truly awesome and I really wanted to give it 4.5 stars. I can't in good conscience give it a 5. I'm going to tell you about the bad things first and then I'll tell you about all the other wonderful amazing things about this property. The place was very clean except for the tub. I did have to request to have that cleaned before I would get into it. And they were really great about taking care of that. The towels are white and I was told they're only two months old, but all of them are stained. I had one that had black smudges on it and I didn't wanna use that towel because I really wasn't sure how clean it actually was. They told me they would replace my towels, but when I came back to my room, it looks like my towels were just folded differently, and that black towel smudge one was in the exact same place. They weren't switched out. The sheets were very stiff and felt like they had a lot of fabric pills they were uncomfortable. The bed was so hot-I don't know if it's the mattress protector or the sheets they use. The bed would have been blissful if it wasn't so hot and it had much better sheets on it. I also sleep on slippery sateen sheets normally, maybe I'm a diva.I would bring my own sheets next time. I did bring this up at the end of my stay and I was told I could ask for other sheets, but the towels felt the same, it must be the detergent or something that they use. It just doesn't make things soft. Everything seemed really stiff. The room is a little smaller than normal hotel rooms and that's completely fine but the lighting in there is terrible. You can't read in bed. There's one light it's so dim in there. I stayed over thanksgiving so Saturday I asked the housekeeping for a room refresh since they were literally in the next room and they told me I had to talk to the front desk or something other and even though honestly I could've walked to the 50 feet over there and asked it just seemed like a hassle. I really wasn't willing to deal with. It seemed completely silly to me. So if you want your room cleaned, just tell them you want it done every day when you first check in. Now for the good stuff . I love how friendly and welcoming the staff is. If you have a problem with anything, you can pretty much ask them and they'll take care of it for you. I wanted more chalk-here you go. You get a free drink so I took advantage of that and I had a nice conversation with the bartender. I think her name is, Senia. She's lovely and fun. They have free breakfast and they have an oatmeal breakfast bar. The oatmeal is actually really good. There was also white and wheat toast, pop tarts and coffee. There is a large room to sit in with communal tables or if you want to sit at the table by yourself, there is there's games all over so this room could be used multiple ways. There's a little sitting area because if you don't spring for the bigger rooms, which I would suggest doing, you don't really have a comfy place to sit in your room. They supply with these books in there so fun. I actually read a book on my vacation. The pool is a saltwater and heated all year round. They have Floaties and there's backyard games. There's all kinds of activities and there's a food truck but that will be leaving in two weeks I heard. The art on the property is fantastic and they even had a paint and wine night on Friday that started at 3pm. I wasn't aware of it, but I wish I had if I did, I would've participated. on Saturday there were people out on the deck, which is heated by the way drumming and they invited me to join them which I thought was super cool. I passed but they did it for a few hours and they asked everyone if they wanted to join and it was very rhythmatic and trance-like-it was so cool. It's such a cool property and I'm so glad I stayed there. I'd recommend it to anyone. This hotel is honestly for everyone, families, single people, all kinds of couples-young, old, same-sex,.. it's a judgment free zone and not only our people welcome but dogs are too! If you don't like dogs or people you're gonna wanna skip this place, but if you're down for a cool experience-THIS IS IT!!! Top 3 coolest hotels I've been to.

Fabulous, quirky and super hipster place! Immaculately clean, great service and atmosphere. Not the Ritz by any means but if you're looking at the McCoy then the Ritz is not your vibe anyway. As for us: we don't want to stay anywhere else in Tucson! Love Hotel McCoy.

Oh dear Hotel McCoy, this review is a long time coming... by several months. Better late than never!The NUMBER ONE reason why we picked Hotel McCoy was because it is DOG FRENDLY. THANK YOU for allowing us to bring our 4-leggeds with us.Actually, my Arrow the Airedale is a dog actor-- a real thespian who performs on stage and screen. I mention this because we were in Tucson because he was "Sandy" in Annie, at the Leo Rich Theatre!And thus, for almost 2 weeks, my furry diva needed quiet, comfortable kitchenette quarters for himself and his entourage-- (my husband, myself, and his puppy brother).Hotel McCoy checked all the boxes and THEN SOME!Not only is it full of eclectic art and good vibes --comfy and inviting sunny social spaces both inside the breakfast area/ lounge, as well as out back in the fenced in yard area and delightfully whimsical 50s-era heated pool. But it also boasts a small gym (treadmill, bike), washer and dryers, free Wifi and cable tv with streaming, amd centrally located to downtown areas. Oh yes... and a lovely staff, who were all very accommodating and pleasant to talk to!Back to the dogs, since it's ALL about the dogs... although there were other dogs on the premises, the grounds were very quiet, and the staff (per my request) graciously allowed us to reserve an end suite far away from most of the crowds, because we were keeping theater hours, meaning late nights and sleeping during the day. So we very much appreciated the peace and solitude.We also appreciated the dog potty area, although my puppy was terrified of the traffic (a lot of loud trucks, an Amazon facility is down the street) zooming past. I wish there was a way to put another dog area on the opposite end of the premises which would be a bit more quiet. Perhaps a consideration/ suggestion?My favorite moments: taking photos in front of the beautiful murals all around, hanging at the pool, eating out on our wee table.It was delightful all around... thank you!

Most fun hotel I've been to in a LOOONG time! While visiting family in Tucson I had the pleasure of checking into the best motor inn flip I'd seen in, well ever - in person at least. The reviews stood out and the photos further piqued my interest. Imagine how giddy was when it turned out to be even better yet! The exterior murals were a major highlight. I love the story of the visiting artists that graced the walls. So much character and pizazz popped with their namesake artwork. It's hard to imagine having a favorite, but driving through the entry really gave a wow factor! Checking in was a breeze and the lobby was so fun and playful. There were so many cool pieces to look at and an in house bar to boot. I was told of the amenities which included a laundry / gym, heated pool, outdoor games & fire, indoor & outdoor dining, video games on a large screen ... (just to name a few). Oh, did I mention the breakfast oatmeal bar, on site food truck, free drink token? No? All that and I haven't even gotten to the rooms yet. The rooms were a fun, vacationing Route 69 vibe of MCM with a dash of kitsch. Bold colors popped across the room with a bright yellow desk complete with vintage paperbacks to lose yourself in by the pool. A red mini fridge was the perfect size for my two day stay. Signature accessories added to the upscale motel vibe. Playful touches like a chalkboard door added whimsical charm. As an added bonus, just outside each room was a bistro set to enjoy your coffee.Having stayed mid week, my kids and I had the pool to ourselves. We ordered snacks and drinks from the bar and had the best Halloween as they played The Nightmare Before Christmas on a projector outside! Breakfast was served with fresh fruit, Pop-Tarts and your choice of local coffees or teas. I would 100% recommend staying here the next time you're in Tucson!
