Top hotels in Palo Verde
Hilton Vacation Club Varsity Club Tucson
Great stay for one night. The king suite with kitchen was very spacious and cozy. The only thing I was not aware is there is no breakfast also they charge you $200 deposit due to hotel being timeshare. Good location parking lot a little tight best thing to do is back your car in.

Most everything was clean and tidy, and things where you would expect them. Good lighting and mirrors over the sink. It is situated right next to the freeway, like right next ...
