10 hotels in Tucson: Best hotel deals for 2023
Although Tucson's fantastic weather, national parks and forests and desert provide the perfect environment for tons of outdoor recreational activities, this city of half a million people also has its share of history and culture. With a history that goes back much further than many of its southwestern neighbors, Tucson boasts turn-of-the-century architecture, historic neighborhoods, museums and the Mission San Xavier del Bac, a still-functioning 18th-century mission considered one of the most beautiful in the U.S. Mexican and Native American influences are pervasive, and the city has a distinctly Western flavor. There's also a college-town atmosphere, thanks to the University of Arizona, which has its own share of museums and a science center. Whether golfing at a world-class golf resort, horseback riding, hiking in the wilderness, discovering desert flora and fauna at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum or exploring pre-Columbian and other art at the Tucson Art Museum, you'll have a mind-boggling array of things to do.

We invite you to make the Lodge your home away from home.
Quick trip to Tucson
Reviewed By Taramart68The staff was amazing, fast, and kind. The beds were very comfortable and we really like the views. The pool was well taken care of and had floats and balls for kids and covered lounges to help beat the heat.

You Won't Regret Staying Here
Reviewed By Susan dDelightful hotel if you are seeking one that isn't one of the large chain hotels. Quality service. Beautiful grounds. The attention to detail was much appreciated. The swimming pool and grounds around it were welcoming and clean. There is a restaurant (Cielo's) on the property for convenience if you want to stay at the hotel for dining. I definitely would recommend this hotel to someone who is looking for a different hotel experience than the chain hotels offer.

Beautiful Resort
Reviewed By MyrtleWiltshireWe loved our Sonoran king room on the ground floor looking towards the Santa Catalina mountains, a patio with outdoor shower (which we didn’t use as it didn’t look very user friendly) and our “own” huge saguaro cactus next to the patio. We felt like we were on the edge of the desert, it was very quiet and restful. Spacious, beautifully decorated bedroom and shower room. Very pleasant to stroll round the grounds admiring the cacti and succulents. We dined both evenings of our stay in the Grill restaurant which is supposed to be fine dining. We didn’t think it was fine dining, the choices on the menu quite simple, but we enjoyed what we ate and were impressed that Arizonan wine was on the wine list. Breakfast sitting outside at the terrace restaurant was very good - but do they really need to air condition the outside air, especially first thing in the morning?

Great Experience & Value
Reviewed By UtahManAmIThere is a lot to love about this hotel. -The pool area is perfect, lots of space to spread out even when its busy. -Lots to do. There is a hike, fantastic gym, tennis courts, spa, it has everything you need. -There are two pools, one is a bit quieter and technically an "adult pool" where we only ever saw one person use it. -Service was excellent. They have a text line we used a lot and received prompt responses. -They had a stargazing experience with a professional astronomer that was really really cool. -They had live music every night that was really entertaining. -I loved that our room had a balcony with chairs and that this was available in every room. -The Ventana Canyon trailhead is a short walk from the hotel. Lots of long hikes to go on! -The room had a mini-fridge, hairdryer, iron/ironing board, we felt like we had everything we needed. I know they offer microwaves on request. A few minor complaints/observations: -The food selection at the pool and two restaurants is not that extensive. For how much they are charging it would be nice for them to have a bit more variety. -There was one day where we requested room service at a specific time (later in the day around 3-4pm) and they came anyway at around 9:00. I don't know what the point of taking requests for room service time is if they don't honor it. -The main pool area serves alcohol, I know that this is popular, but there are no drinks available at the "adult" pool but there are at the family friendly pool. Didn't really make sense to me. I highly recommend staying here, the scenery is beautiful, there are a lot of cool things to do and experience!

Good stay
Reviewed By GeminicanPositives: The front desk, Renee, who did the check in was efficient, cheerful, and responsive. Clean room and clean lobby. Conveniet location with restaurants within driving distance. Negatives: A cheap way of honoring Expedia VIP access - no room upgrade but offered a bottle of wine. Not a practical solution for a no alcohol drinker like me. Offering options that I couldn't use. Others: 1) Hot water took a long time to come, felt wasteful, especially in the desert area like Tucson, AZ. 2) It's near the airport, so possible to hear airplane noise throughout the day Other than that, no major issues. Feel comfortable recommending this hotel.

Great Stay for our Anniversary

Would not recommend
Reviewed By Q2703DZelizabethwr visit was not comfortable. June in Tucson and the A/C was not functioning in our room. We arrived at check in at 3:45, went to our room and unpacked and got it set up. We then went into town for our scheduled engagements. We arrived back to the hotel at approximately 11:30 PM and the room did feel hot, so we lowered the thermostat. We had a few glasses of wine (and an Uber) prior to returning to the hotel, so we were not too concerned about the heat and we did not realize that the A/C was completely broke! We only thought that the thermostat needed to be lowered. We woke up in a POOL of sweat at 3AM. At 5 AM I chose to call the front desk, which I never do. I let the clerk know of our concern and she apologized that the engineers are not on site until 6:30AM, but she would have security bring us a box fan. The box fan was broken. You would think that they would take the time to check this before delivering. Luckily my husband had his 5 in 1 pocket knife that had a tool where he could move the brass stick, which the knob should have been on. The box fan allowed our room to cool down to 86 degrees...still miserable! And only one box fan? Come on, all AZ natives know that the fan only works if you are right in front of it! We left the resort early, so that we could get home and take a nap, as we were sleep deprived. We did not enjoy breakfast, or the pools. Not only was our stay awful, but our whole next day was wasted trying to catch up on our lost sleep. At checkout, the clerk asked how our stay was and I let her know that it was awful. She just apologized and stated that she hopes we have a better stay in the future. I really have no intention to ever stay here after this experience. I called to speak with the manager after getting home and getting some sleep. The front desk supervisor took my concerns and sated that he would speak to a manger and get back to me. I never have heard back from them. Extremely disappointed in our stay. We expected more from a JW Marriot and the La Paloma.
