Top Tucson Hotel Reviews

Red Lion Inn & Suites Tucson Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was AMAZING!!!! The check in guy was super friendly and helpful and our cleaner even helped my sister carry here her bag down the stairs <3 We were able to park right outside of our room. If I am in Tucson, I will stay here again!"

Best Western InnSuites Tucson Foothills Hotel & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was perfect. This property felt like a 4 star hotel at a motel price. Every amenity I look out for in a hotel was there: refrigerator, microwave, ice machine, gym, pool, jacuzzi, luxurious bedding, firm bed, and free hot breakfast. They even had complimentary wine in the cafe served by the Delightful Ms Kayla. I would definitely come back here and of course recommend to my friends. Best Western has always been my favorite, and this location is surely one of the best."

Lodge on the Desert

8/10 Good

"The restaurant/bar was good. The room clean but somewhat rustic which is expected given the age of the property. Bathroom could use better lighting. The pool: we were there during warm/hot weather (100°+) and looked forward to the pool after playing golf. The pool is fairly small and was filled with pre-teen children who were very exuberant. We did not use the pool at all. Disappointing."

Loews Ventana Canyon Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel in a beautiful location. This property is exactly as advertised. Beautiful location, great amenities and lovely helpful Staff. Only inconvenience was not having any available EV chargers (regular cars were parked in those spots and valet did not have their key/room#), however they guided us to a location nearby where we could charge - next best thing. Hotel offers free transport around the area, to the nearby shopping center. There are 2 lovely pools, 3 eateries and a beautiful short walk to a small waterfall. Our room was perfect, large, clean, comfortable. Beautifully designed. Would definitely recommend it."
