No-Tel Motel
Tucson, ,AZ Photo by RoadsidePeek.com
The No-Tel Motel has become a Tucson landmark of sorts. The motel was first built as the De Anza Motel in a Spanish revival-style along the Miracle Mile. Its cool name depicts perhaps a more sordid past. Apparently the owners changed the name to the No-Tel after the area starting changing once the I-10 bypassed the Miracle Mile. The No-Tel is still in business in 2020 but no tell. 11-20
UPDATE : The No-Tel Motel was purchased in the fall of 2022 by the city with the intent to turn the historic motel into a homeless shelter and affordable housing for older adults. 06-23
