OK, so Ive been spoiled by staying at the Arizona Inn when Im in Tucson(so amazing there), but I wanted to save a little money this trip. So I checked out this recently rehabbed hotel. The renovations were over when I was ther e(late October) and the restaurant was open. I didnt eat there because they charged me $3 for... more

We were booked into one of the older suites because we were told it had a pull out sofa which we needed. When I called reception I was told her would get back to me - which Manuel did right away. They upgraded us to the new rooms and gave our sons one room and my husband and I another... more

Being from Tucson, The Lodge on the Desert has always had a certain cache - a hotel built in the 1930's on what was then the edge of town, and whose guests included Martha Graham and other notables, who stayed in lovely, private studios on lush grounds. I had stayed there once many years ago as a MAJOR splurge. So... more

I had read several reviews of this Lodge saying that the new rooms are far better than the old. I disagree - the new are great, but very much like a nice hotel anywhere. We stayed in the old section and really loved it. Incredible old cactus gardens, very private with shared courtyards and small, private patios. Our room (a... more

We were not sure when we first pulled up to the lodge. It was just off a busy street and the parking lot was crowded with work trucks. This soon changed. The construction for the most part is complete and there was little or no noise from the street. We were upgraded to one of the new rooms (70+ new,... more

.A four night stay. Paid $105 per. First given an old room, very tired. About to move to Arizona Inn (at considerably more), said so at front desk, and was promptly moved to a new room. Rest of stay was excellent, room was great, restaurant was ok first night, slow the second night. Ate elsewhere rest of time. Location is... more

Yes, they're still remodeling but why, when so many rooms were vacant, did they put us into a room where a worker's tools were stored right outside one of the windows? He was throwing things, banging around at 5:45 a.m.! Why did they call us at 6:30 a.m. to move our car so that they could work on the parking... more

My stay at Lodge was disappointing. Not only did I have a snippy front desk attendant give me the wrong directions ( causing me to get lost in the dark for over an hour) but I brought a salad to my room, was charged for room service and listened to a buzzer outside all night. My bathtub was plugged; leaving... more

Ask for Room 242: a huge room with two seating areas, a kitchen bar, wonderful king size bed, walk-in closet, nice bathroom, and its own private balcony with dining table and chairs and a view of the mountains. Decoration is hand-painted. The best! Helpful staff. Reception building is lovely with a library. Construction is still going on but is not... more
