"The place looked new very practical just what we needed pet friendly a plus a little noise at night due to being close to a road and like all the hotels other customers can be. Noisy but overall a good experience Iโll try this place again."

"Staff great"
Mount Lemmon Lodge
"We met the owner on our arrival, a very nice, 72 y.o. respecful woman. Later, when in the elevator, going up from the garage to 2nd floor, myself, wife, the large dolly with luggage and then extra luggage, the elevator was intercepted at the first floor by someone. No problem. The door opened at the first floor, there was a nice gentleman waiting to get in, saw that it was way too crowded, smiled and said he'd take the stairs. No problem. There was the owners husband standing right behind him, and he BARKED "is there a problem here?" with an extremely rude and angry attitude. He glared at me, I said "no?" and went on up to the next floor. My wife and I then exchanged looks like "did you just see that?" We are in our seventies and I don't think we look THAT criminal-like... I don't know what his problem was but it sure put a nasty taste in our mouth for an otherwise wonderful getaway. She was great, he needs to retire!"
Loews Ventana Canyon Resort
"Nice hotel"
Four Points by Sheraton Tucson Airport
"Room was clean and staff very helpful. We were able to book the airport shuttle bus for very early (4 am). then leave our car parked there for the duration of our travels. We arrived back very late and the shuttle picked up us within minutes of the call."
