Top hotels in Sam Hughes
Aloft Tucson University
Location is great, staff is great, lobby is great, beds and bathroom great. The hallways need work, rooms aren’t perfect. If you are going to the U of A for a function it’s worth a stay.

3 Palms Tucson North Foothills
We loved the room and area, clean, comfortable and friendly staff. My only complaint was that our ground floor room was under the outdoor stairway where we heard noisy guests until midnight and then again early in the morning. However, I still would give a good review.
