Built in 1936 and completely renovated recently, this hacienda-style hotel is a desert oasis at a convenient central location, offering rooms and suites in a quiet residential setting with well-manicured lawns, flower gardens and cactus gardens. Most rooms have fireplaces and private patios. Be advised that rates for lodging in Tucson are usually considerably lower during summer months than they are during the winter season.

Very nice hotel. Clean, comfortable and spacious suite. The property is a quiet, relaxing oasis in the middle of Tucson. The price was right for this quality hotel.

This was our second time staying at the lodge and we enjoyed it both times. The staff is always friendly and accommodating. The room was clean and the beds and pillows were comfortable. The grounds look great and the breakfast buffet is extremely better than any other hotel breakfast. The bar area was nice and the drinks and appetizers were perfect for watching Thursday night football. The only negative thing would be that the hot tub had debris in it and the water seemed to be murky. We opted not to get in it for that reason. Everything else was thumbs up across the board.

The website says they have coffee makers, they do not! They have water boilers with coffee bags, not the same thing! We checked in when it was 102° outside and the AC had been turned off, it was 80° in the room! We wanted to call the front desk, but the phone was did not work. I would not recommend this place to anyone, steer clear!

Booked here recently and unfortunately can't recommend it. The location is convenient, but that's about the only positive. The hotel itself is old and run-down, nothing like the photos, which make it look far more charming than it actually is.The bigger issue: when we arrived, we couldn't even stay in our room because a breaker had fried on that side of the property. Staff offered to move us to a motel next door, which we declined. We were told our reservation was cancelled and confirmed as such. Despite that, we were still charged for the stay. A confirmed cancellation followed by charges anyway is not okay! This is a shady business practice. We do not recommend staying here and would be cautious about booking with this property.
