“Historic inn.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012

person found this review helpful

I recently spent three nights at this hotel. I arrived in the early hours of the morning. Doors are locked late at night, and so pressed the intercom. Door was promptly opened, but the front desk clerk, who whilst efficient, was not the friendliest individual. Maybe I had woken him up? I was shown to my room by the security guard, who proceeded to give me a guided tour of the grounds en route to the room. Even in the middle of the night, the grounds looked lovely! My room - a standard one - was upstairs quite a way from the lobby. The room was a good sized one, with a king bed, desk, two side tables with lamps and overhead lighting. Also two big chairs and a small coffee table. There was a walk in closet, with complimentary water (every night) and a small refrigerator as well as a coffee machine. Bathroom was very small with in tub shower. The room and bathroom appeared to be very clean and the bed was comfortable with crisp linen. Two windows in the bedroom gave lots of natural light as well. As I arrived late, there was a pot of hot chocolate waiting for me (most welcome!!) and in the refrigerator, some finger sandwiches and two cookies - a really nice touch! The grounds of the hotel are beautiful. There is complimentary coffee and tea in the library in the mornings, as well as in the afternoon, which I did not get to enjoy. Never ate at the hotel - though the dining room/restaurant looked very nice. Free parking across the road from the hotel in an open lot.
There is a lot of history associated with this inn, and while I did not get the opportunity to fully tour the hotel, intend to come back again some other time.

“Old Fashioned Beauty with a few wrinkles”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

Spectacular mid-town location, this old favorite oozes charm and genteelness. We were there for New Year and the holiday decorations were gorgeous.
Upsides: grounds and architecture are beautiful and very well maintained. Staff is dedicated and very helpful. Wandering around is a pleasure; the library, the pool house, the many patios and the eating facilities and bar are a joy and make you want to linger.
Downsides: beds and furnishings need some updating to make it the Five Star Property that it always has been. Hope they do it carefully so they don't erase the charm.
Would I Stay Again? In a heartbeat!

Room Tip: Some of the floors creak, so take second floor to avoid creaking overhead

“Grace and charm”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 February 2012

person found this review helpful

I have stayed at the Arizona Inn once a year for the past 5 years. It has wonderful service, peaceful grounds and is designed to make your stay as relaxing and fun as possible. You never have to pay for amenities such as renting movies or using the croquette or ping pong. When I arrived late at night there was a complimentary thermos of hot chocolate, cookies and sandwiches and fruit to greet me in the room.

I feel they think of everything. Also, the Inn has been continuously owned and operated by the same family (different generations) since it opened in 1930. The original owner was married to one of Teddy Roosevelt's rough riders as well as being a representative to congress. Very cool!

“Green paradise in the heart of the desert”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 January 2012

The award winning hotel is an green oasis in the middle of the desert. The main part of the hotel is well know by tourists and residents for great architecture and main dining room, but not so well known is the "pool house cabana" that is decorated in the old Hacienda style, here is a quiet spot than overlooks the beautiful gardens and is shaded by a huge tree that lets in filtered light. Food, drinks, and friendly staff make this a special secret in Tucson.
