Quality Inn Flamingo Downtown

Tucson


Now part of the Quality Inn chain, the Flamingo retains some of its Rat Pack vibe, and the fact that Elvis slept here doesn't hurt (although the rooms were renumbered and now no one is sure which room he slept in). Rooms are not any better than a typical motel, but they are among the cheapest beds in town.
