Aloft by Marriott Tucson University
"Overall, everything was great. Nice staff; clean rooms. One oddly placed light switch in the bathroom. lol, but we are able to get past that."
Red Lion Inn & Suites Tucson Downtown
"Very good customer service"
Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Tucson City Center, AZ
"I have been to a few other hotels in the Tucson area, and we came back here because we remembered enjoying our stay here. The bed was comfortable, the facilities are clean and the front desk staff are kind and polite. I appreciate that they are not intrusive, but still make you feel welcome. The complementary breakfast was good, and fresh. The wifi is sufficient to stream on if you are okay with using your own device because the rooms have cable, not streaming services. All listed amenities were as expected. I really appreciated the usb outlets on the bedside table for those of us who do not always carry our charging blocks. Overall the stay was great, and we will likely return."
Arizona Inn
"Totally charming environment and very comfortable bed. Would love to stay again"
Adobe Rose Inn B&B
"The B&B is conveniently located near the U of A campus in a nice neighborhood. Beautiful, well-maintained property. Breakfast was great. Friendly staff."
