Lazy 8 Motel

Gotta give em three stars because there were two men working the front desk- one was wearing a tuxedo and one was wearing boxer briefs. Just boxers. Amazing. Also the restaurant next door is incredible. Adam Sandler are there once don't ya know! Great fun place if you have a sense of humor but don't expect frills.

What the room itself did not give, the owner did. What an amazing soul, do kind and helpful. Rooms are clean, not updated, yet comfortable, everything worked, water pressure was great. Easy parking, and loved the old real key.. two nights! Thank you!

If it was just about the room this place would have gotten another star, it's a cheap motel, don't get me wrong, but it's clean, has a comfortable bed and all the fixtures work the way they should. Miguel, at the front desk, is the father of the owner (his son is the owner) and as a front man, Miguel is great. He showed me the room before I took it even tho he was alone at the time. He also gave me the low down on his '58 Ford Fairlane 500 Skyliner, with working search light, but I digress. Cool vintage cars aside, this motel did have one problem which seems to plague a lot of the cheaper motels, bad wifi. When I say bad, I mean dial up speed bad. I work on the internet and therefore need a decent connection at night, but the Lazy 8 lived up to its name with internet speeds that rivaled those of the mid 90s. It is free wifi and in this case you most certainly get what you pay for. Keep in mind Tucson is a big(ish) city and as such has a plethora of crappy motels, Lazy 8 was NOT crappy, just the wifi was. I looked at a couple of other motels before I settled on Lazy 8, mainly due to Miguel at the front desk. I will stay here again.

This review is relative to the price. To be fair, I didn't stay the night. I only had the room for four hours waiting for a flight. That said, my room was clean with a fridge, cold A/C, a TV, and free wifi. The gentleman at the front desk seemed to be the owner, and found me the cheapest rate, even though my hotels.com reservation was slightly higher priced. I can't give it five stars without spending the night. The property is very quiet during the day. I don't know what it's like at night. Yes, it's old and reminiscent of the motor lodge in the movie "Cars". The rooms are good sized, and in a convenient location. For sheer value I'll give it four stars.

Deserves a fraction of a star. Wrong price advertised, even on their own website, empty pool, no kitchenettes available (only available for gem show, the seemingly sweet old man who checked us in said, and a constantly broken ice machine (old man's own words). If that weren't bad enough, about 8 pm the regular inhabitants of this room made their presence known.ROACHES. They were crawling out of the shower and sink, and once we got those blocked they came through the walls. The evil old witch at the front desk refused any chance of getting even a partial refund. So here I am, letting as many people know that I can!!! Do not stay at the ROACH MOTEL!!

The neighborhood was dark and sketchy. Worried about the room I had rented, I inspected it as soon as I went in. Smoky air, gross. Worse, I pulled the sheets back (I like to look at the mattress for bedbugs, just in case). Didn't have time to observe for any bedbugs because a GIANT cockroach ran across the bed. I screamed and ran out. I asked for a refund and not only was I denied, but the man at the counter asked me if I would come in to the lobby (he was alone, no way I was going in there alone.) He then demanded I go in to the motel room with him to show him the cockroach (which I'm sure had run for the hills after my scream). I'm a small woman, no way I am going to let a strange man talk me into a room with him. Is he crazy? I don't know. I do know there was no way I was going to stay there, refund or not. So I let them keep my money ($41.00, really not that much) and I went across the freeway to the nice side of town and got a room for the night and slept well with no cockroaches and no lecherous men. Life was good, somewhere else, minus $41.00 but safe and sound.

Price higher than sign advertised. No tax itemization on handwritten receipt that took forever.Room so dusty and filthy I cough gag barf. WIFI broken. Asked for cleaner room with WIFI. Filth disputed, picture and video of filth shown. Asked why I took pictures. Because I knew you'd play dumb and innocent.Taken back to room. Told impossible to clean dust Because old building. Scolded for eating after driving all day. More excuses. Tried to take back receipt before offering half refund. About to talk to Tucson police. Travel nightmare.

The older lady and older man were rude to us as customers, we checked into our room to have our stuff stolen , housekeeping even said that the people there dont care , we ask for refund they didnt want to at first until authorities were called, worst motel ever you can find a better motel for cheap with people that actually respect their customers and make sure to help solve ur problem and they wont steal

We just spent 2 nights at this dump. The price we paid was for a Deluxe Queen room with a kitchenette. The room was extremely rundown and there was a little refrigerator, but no kitchenette. The people in the room next to us went out and bought their own cleaning supplies because of the filthy conditions. Find some place else, because you will regret staying there.

Decent and clean, but $5 more than advertised. When confronted about the price--they simply charged me the higher amount without asking--the people at the front desk said they had no more rooms at that rate and that this room would be larger.The parking lot was almost empty, leading me to assume they are simply adding $5 to everyone's bill. Old school metal key. Bathroom was dirty despite the sign billing the place as "Tucson's cleanest budget motel". Desk staff barely spoke English. Highway noise is loud, as is parking lot noise from Silver Saddle Steakhouse. The walls have no insulation, apparently.The wifi has no password, so if you are eating at Silver Saddle and go to the parking lot, you can just hop on.
