3 Palms Tucson North Foothills
This was our first stay at 3 Palms, and everything went great. The pool and workout areas are really nice. The staff is friendly and accommodating. We had one issue while we were there, and they moved us quickly and made the rest of the stay wonderful. Would definitely stay again.

Hotel McCoy Tucson - Art, Coffee, Beer, Wine
Had to stand alone outside of the property to have a smoke. Didn't feel safe. Room was small and had basic furniture, no suitcase stands. Staff was friendly. It was a unique hotel

Red Roof Inn Tucson North - Marana
I’m always hesitant when staying at a “budget hotel”. This one is beautiful though! Everything is upgraded, bed was comfortable. I highly recommend staying here!

Lodge on the Desert
We really liked the layout of the resort and the rooms. Our major complaint was the noisy water pipes!! When a neighboring unit took a shower the noise in our room was extremely noisy!!!
