very nice hotel. great lounge. comfortable bed. quiet room. the only issue was the shower- rusty, paint peeled back, etc.

Clean, recently renovated hotel, convenient to the light rail and the University. Our room on the 7th floor had a lot of street noise until 1am from the neighborhood's bars. The free-to-use guest laundry room was extremely convenient, and let us pack light and wash clothes half-way through the trip.

This hotel was OK and pretty much on U of A. So the location was great if you were going to a U of A event. We went to the Book Festival which was on the U of A Campus. The breakfast was absolutely HORRIBLE. They had a sign that said it was $18. First, we wanted made to order omlets, but the guy at the omlet station said we would need to order from the server. We sat down, no server. So we decided on the buffet scrambled eggs. They were cold, and didn't taste like real eggs, they tasted like powered eggs. The sausage was also cold. There was no server so in the end we didn't have to pay, anyhow. The second day we went to the Black Bear diner right down the street for breakfast. That place was great, the service was great and the food was hot.Now onto the room. We are Marroitt Platnum and we got upgraded. We got to the room, we thought, this is an upgraded room? We have had bigger and better rooms when renting a regular room at the Fairfield Inn. It had two queen beds, a TV and a computer desk. There was also a chair and a really small table in the corner of the room and it was in the corner where you couldn't see the TV if someone was sitting at the comptuer desk. The room was fine, it was clean but not what I expected for an upgraded room.It does have valet parking. Those people were really nice. But we only had to deal with them on check in and check out. We went for the Book Festival, which was walking distance, so we never used our car during our stay.

Greg at the front desk is awesome!!

BLUF - This is a hotel I would stay in again when traveling to Tucson, but I wouldn’t use the valet parking (so slow). The Marriott is right on the edge of the campus, so it’s near a lot of good places to eat and drink. I also enjoyed the proximity for morning and evening walks. The gym is great, with all the equipment you’d need, including some equipment you don’t find at a hotel gym. The room was large, with a small balcony and a view of the mountains to the west. The room was clean with comfortable beds, desk and chair, and a longing chair in the corner. The lounge had a very good breakfast with plenty of food options, including a great selection of fresh fruit. The only knock I have is the valet - maybe consider staffing better in the mornings, with the rush of people leaving. Waiting 20 minutes to get your car seems a bit excessive. I will definitely not use valet next time. I’ll just do self-park and save a few bucks, not to mention saving a lot of time each morning.
