It was a unique stay. Only stayed for the night but the staff was really friendly. Pool looked really nice and they have a restaurant on site.

This room and property were beautiful and far beyond our already high hopes. We stayed for a romantic weekend and it was perfect for that: quiet, private, spacious, luxurious. The room was huge and well-equipped with all of the amenities. The jetted tub in the bathroom is an absolute dream, the bed was big and cloud-like, the fireplace was the perfect cozy touch, and the private balcony was a nice little escape. The staff were friendly and helpful at check-in and the food from the restaurant was delicious. Will definitely be staying here again.

Convenient location for an older beautiful hotel. The mature landscaping includes beautiful large cacti, perfectly trimmed bushes and our window opened to a mature orange tree. They modernized some of the room but kept the old classic Southwest front & center. Peaceful, quiet, but yes there’s still a pool and a restaurant where the blue corn tortillas and cocktails shine.

It was a beautiful property tucked away in Tucson. Love the style of the hotel, and the amenities and thick towels. Would stay again when next in Tucson. We liked the free drink and salsa in the restaurant, too.It prompted us to have dinner there.
