I stayed in the Blue Room upstairs and was very happy with my visit. Lea and Ken are charming without being intrusive. If you have business in the UA area or just love historic buildings, The Big Blue is for you! more

The big blue house is just as advertised, a nice, quiet place to stay with all the ammenities, and not the hassle of larger hotels. Ken and Lea were fantastic, always helpful, and willing to work with my schedule. The only negative that I encountered during my stay is the car parking, When all rooms are full, parking is limited.... more

I stayed in the BBH for a week in early August while finding an apartment to live in Tucson. I am an student in the UofA. The hosts were very kind and attentive. They tried hard to orient me about the city and even let me use their personal cell phone to make some calls while I got mine. The... more

I have stayed at the Big Blue House for a total of five weeks now and all I can say is that is has made my business travel bearable. Lea and company have accommodated my late arrivals and changing plans with a smile and have provided me my home away from home. I have stayed in three different rooms with... more

We go to Tucson once or twice a year, and this was our second stay at the Big Blue House. This is the best location from which to experience urban Tucson. It's walking distance to the University and Fourth Ave., which has lots of coffee houses, cool shops and restaurants. One could theoretically walk downtown, too, although we ended up... more

The BBH is a great alternative to a hotel, especially for visitors in Tucson for a longer stay. The room I stayed in was large, with upscale furniture, modern bathroom, and a reasonable kitchen. The UA campus is an easy walk and Time Market and 4th Ave restaurants are very close. At roughly the same price as the Plaza (Sheraton),... more

I have recently had the pleasure of staying at the Big Blue house in Tucson for the last four nights and I can tell you the experience is much better than a chain hotel. The two rooms my party and I occupied were both clean and charming. The refrigerators were stocked, per our request, with the items we asked for... more

I arrived at the Big Blue house at two o' clock in the morning with my mother, and rang the doorbell as was instructed by the owners. Within seconds they came to the door to let us in. The house was comforting, and the unit which we stayed in contained a kitchen, a bathroom and two separate rooms that were... more

3/3 found this review helpful

I moved to Tucson-hunting. for a new job and looked for a place to stay close to the university until I find a long-term housing solution. Surfing the web, I've found the BBH website and their one week deal was exactly what I was looking for (and, to my luck, they had a studio available for my dates). The location... more
