Brightly colored building in Tucson's Old Town, the Barrio Viejo.
The Barrio Viejo (or Barrio Historico) in Tucson, just south of downtown. The fabric of the neighborhood has retained some of its 19th century character, with thick adobe walls and colorful doors. Some buildings are derelict--some seemed intentionally so--and many others have been renovated, painted, and house artists' studios or lawyers' offices. It's the most fascinating part of Tucson.

A cool retro vibe with modern touches. We liked the art and murals throughout the property. The room was clean with blackout curtains and the bed was comfortable. As Gen Xers, we loved the little video game area and pinball lounge. We would stay again !

The room was exceptional, however, the young girl that was the night clerk was very rude and unfriendly but i would recommend the Lodge to family and friends.
