Review for Sunrise at River Road

Very private, shady courtyard space in back. More open hangout space around entrance, under awning. We picked them because of the tour. The place is beautiful, inside and out.

I would suggest that anyone who is looking for a place to stay should visit Sunrise at River Road. it is well-kept and very nice. Unfortunately, my sister has changed her mind about moving to Tucson; she plans to stay in Sun City West where she is now staying.

Review for Sunrise at River Road

Sunrise is great! It's a la cart facility. That's ok. That they are not licensed to handle people who get angry or physical. The staff is very kind.
