Top Tucson Hotel Reviews

3 Palms Tucson North Foothills

3 Palms Tucson North Foothills

10/10 Excellent
"It was clean and quiet. I was a bit skeptical of the price, because I have stayed in other known chain hotels with the same rating and been disappointed. I’m not hard to please, I want clean, quiet, good quiet ac/heat, working fridge, etc and it has all that. My only complaint is the thermostat has a sensor, I guess it doesn’t work when you’re not moving, so at night I would get hot and wake up sweating. Maybe the variance on the thermostat was set at like 5-6 degrees instead of 1–2-3 degrees like it should be (in my opinion). Other than that it was an excellent stay."

"Room was clean, bed was comfortable, I was a bit disappointed in the pool lounge areas. Lounge seating was dirty and old, towels are ripped and stained. Did not find sunscreen available and I had to walk a far distance just to find the towels. I’ve definitely experienced better amenities at comparable resorts. The slide was fun for the kids however the space for the parents to keep an eye on the kids is small and doesn’t have much seating. Staff was attentive though. Please update your pool furniture and towels!"
