At the Best Western Inn & Suites Tucson Foothills, I booked us a Mobility Accessible Two-Room Suite with Walk-In Shower. We did get the room we booked, but upon entering it found the shower dripping, which initially did not bother me, but Mom then used the toilet and found the floor was all wet because it was of the style that floods the bathroom. Thus, before even bringing in our stuff, we went back to the front desk and ended up with the same room type non-accessible because the only other accessible option was with just one King bed.

| Sofa bed living room area of Accessible Room |
 |
| Bedroom area of Accessible Room |
 |
| Accessible Bathroom - cannot roll up next to toilet due to shower |
 |
| Accessible Bathroom - Roll Under Sink |
 |
| Accessible Bathroom's Shower |
 |
| Accessible Room's Shower - did not have handheld shower head |
 |
| Bar Stools in Accessible Room were somewhat in way of coming into the room due to the kitchen area being wider than the non-accessible room. |
 |
| Kitchen area of Accessible Room - Wider path than non-accessible room, but not sure if it has enough space for a wheelchair to turn around |
 |
| Sofa bed living room area of regular room - we put the table in corner and I slept on the sofa without pulling it out as bed, so Mik had plenty of floor space (actually was also more comfortable this way than the thin mattress). |
 |
| Bedroom area of the regular room |
 |
| "Bathroom" Sink area in bedroom - Awkwardly, the toilet and shower part of bathroom is off the kitchen, so you have to go through living room and bedroom to get to it from bathroom. At least the kitchen sink is right outside bathroom for handwashing. |
 |
| Regular room's bathroom - the tub faucet was dripping here, too, but not a steady stream like the accessible room, so they definitely need to work on their plumbing throughout |
 |
| Kitchen Area of Regular Room - made it clear the accessible room at least tried to be more accessible, but this layout at least mean the bar stools weren't in the way of coming into room because they did not end up out as far in the room. |
In hindsight, we probably should have been more insistent on them just fixing that room or giving us 2 rooms, but really the accessible room would not have been any better because of the design Mik would not have been able to use the toilet himself. It just really awkward that to access the bathroom sink from the bathroom you had to go all the way around through the bedroom.
Mik enjoyed that the outside tables for breakfast were easy to roll up to. We also liked that you got a free drink and they had popcorn for Happy Hour every evening.
Overall Mik says this is a never again hotel, but really it was not bad. The rooms just show their age, but the staff was good and it worked out just fine for us even without an accessible room, although you do have to take some longer paths around to get to the rooms and breakfast due to the design of the first floor area and parking involving steps at some points. If it was priced similarly to the Hyatt Place, which I had almost chosen for this trip because when I first looked Best Western was only about $10 cheaper a night, then I would not stay here, but if I found it at half the price of the other hotel options like I randomly happened upon, then I certainly would stay here again.
