Lovely
-
My largest complaint is that the Hot Water took too long to get Hot. Used a lot of water before the water got Hot.
-
Lovely stay for our ladies trip. Central to many Tucson locations, amazing food, beautiful pool, and comfortable rooms.

*fridge didn't work *pool was not heated as advertised *walkway was not well lit from the parking lot *bar staff not welcoming *not attempt for return business by general manager *discounts not applied across the board with clarity *room not easily cooled off Not a great stay
-
We liked the free drink and salsa in the restaurant, too.It prompted us to have dinner there.
-
Had a very pleasant stay. Quiet even though in the middle of the city. Pool is nice and shaded for early evening, which is so nice. Loved the stay!
-
It was an all around great stay we just wish they would've maintained a more clean, enjoyable pool. Myself plus several other guest were cleaning it ourselves just so we could enjoy it
-
Air Conditioner: So loud. Like a factory planted in your ears. Could not sleep for the two nights!!
-
I just love the vibe of this property it has a few flaws but way better than the chain hotels
-
Room was cool even when it was 105 degrees outside. Loved the beautiful tile work in the bathroom and the shower was hot. Room was large and the beef was comfortable.
-
The pool: we were there during warm/hot weather (100°+) and looked forward to the pool after playing golf. The pool is fairly small and was filled with pre-teen children who were very exuberant. We did not use the pool at all. Disappointing.
-
What a fantastic hide-a-way! We only stayed overnight, but would have loved to stay longer. This place was fantastic - will definitely stay here again!
-
The included breakfast buffet far better than those out-of-the-box cheap breakfast buffets at most places. I was really surprised. Room clean, housekeeping prompt, mini frig. We used the pool and Jacuzzi every day.
-
The lodge on the desert was everything I hope for and more. I’ll definitely stay here the next time I come back to Tucson.

Some of the positive things: The location was good, next to shopping, dining and activities. It has Southwest charm. The grounds were pretty. The pool and hot tub area was nice, albeit a little run down. On the downside: The Internet was poor and only worked about 10% of the time. It would randomly disconnect in the middle of me doing online projects for work. During a rainstorm, water started leaking through the wall, near the top of the door. We had to call twice about it. The first time, nothing happened, even though they said they’d send someone. The second, their solution was to bring towels to set on the carpet, which were quickly soiled and never replaced. There also was a lightbulb out at our bedside and the sink faucets leaked. Finally, our keys stopped working before the checkout time, which made loading our car difficult. Overall, might not be worth the cost.

Exceptional

Awesome grounds and beautiful room Loved everything
-
The Lodge has a lot of character and the rooms are well appointed. The onsite restaurant is low key and very enjoyable. The pool is great for lap swimming. Nothing.
-
It was a very nice place. Enjoyed the non-hotel atmosphere. More of an individual casita feeling.
-
Very good value. Clean. Center of town.
