Arizona Inn

Blenman-Elm

10/10 Excellent

We booked the Arizona Inn on a trip to Tucson to visit my daughter. Had never been here before. My wife and I were absolutely blown away at the beauty of this Inn. It had everything we needed. The room was very clean and very well appointed. The food was outstanding and the pool was fantastic. The grounds—so beautiful! Would I stay here again or recommend the Arizona Inn to others? In a heartbeat!!!

10/10 Excellent

Beautiful place with fun activities like evening tequila toast. Close to hiking trails. Super friendly and helpful staff. My only complaint was that during our stay the hotel came into our room on more than 3 occasions to do maintenance. Happy they are doing maintenance but wish it could be done between bookings so they are not disturbing customers during naps etc. Overall thought it was a great hotel.

Candlewood Suites Tucson by IHG

Riverside Crossing

10/10 Excellent

We enjoyed our trip to Tucson. Candlewood Suites was a good choice and we enjoyed it. John at reception was an excellent host and he assisted us with an early move in as we had a baby who was tired and needed an afternoon nap. The room was clean, comfortble and the kitchenette was convenient to have. The pool was clean with enough clean towels and the hotel was quiet at night. Beds were comfortable with enough pillows to choose from. We will defnitely recommend the hotel and will stay there...

We enjoyed our stay here so much! It was a beautiful, new property. The suite had such a great layout, it made it so comfortable. Clean and well-thought-out amenities. The breakfast area was clean, food was good, staff was friendly. My only suggestion is to add more hooks (if you want us to reuse our towels, there needs to be more hooks to hang them on.) Also, if it's a two queen suite - 4 towels are needed (not 3).
