3 Palms Tucson North Foothills
Booked this room because my house was under construction. First thing you notice when getting to the room is an old throw up spot in front of the door. Inside seemed nice until you started looking. The carpet made my feet sticky, the couch had crumbs all over it, the shower drain didn’t work correctly ...
