“Wonderful Hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 24, 2013

We arrived here after a too long bus tour. The room is one of the nicest we have seen lately. It was very clean and quiet. We had a delicious buffet for dinner, everything was great. TV in the room was large and even got free wi-fi. Would stay here again.

“Nice Casino Hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 11, 2013

Was there anything amazing about it? No, but the room was clean and well-furnished, the staff was pleasant, and it was quiet and those are things not to be taken for granted. There was a decent fitness center (particularly for a casino hotel which often lacks such amenities preferring that guests have only one activity option) and the pool/jacuzzi looked great, but it was just too cold to check it out.

“Very nice!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 2, 2013

Clean room, and I'm the kind looking in the corners to see if there is built up grime. Didn't like the pillows, there was 5 on the bed and they were all the same. Ate at the steakhouse both nights we were there. Delicious food and friendly wait staff. Played bingo twice and won both times. The male staff working the bingo room were much friendlier than the female staff working the bingo room. Had some luck on the slots and all bartenders were friendly. No luck on the tables but the dealers were all friendly. I WOULD DEFINITELY STAY AGAIN AND WOULD RECOMMEND TO FAMILY AND FRIENDS.

Room Tip: If you gamble ask for a room closer to the casino. There are two sets of elevators and one is defini...

Thank you for your submission to Tripadvisor on your recent stay at the Desert Diamond Casino & Hotel. We do enjoy reading the wonderful comments concerning the Steakhouse and the interaction with our team members. I have shared them with the rest of our team members.

I do apologize for your experience with our pillows. We work hard to find pillows that are comfortable for all of our guests. I understand getting a good night's rest is important to me when I travel. We truly value your comments as we wish to have all of our guests comfortable in our hotel.

We appreciate your comments on Tripadvisor and we look forward to serving you again the next time you travel to Tucson. On behalf our our team, we truly appreciate your business.

Warmest Regard,
Katie

“Don't bother with the rest.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 28, 2012

This place was a suprise ! We arrived on a Sunday night and the prices were below the other hotel prices. We had an attendent help us unload are vehical and walk us to our room, WHICH WAS AWAY FROM THE CASINO SMOKE ! The room was clean, freash sheets. I had taken my pillow and ended up using one of the many the bed had, which ive never done. The view was facing my vehical which I didn't really have to worry about because of parking lot cameras ! The tolite was large and had IT'S OWN SEPARATE ROOM FROM THE SHOWER. The kids felt save and happy while the parents checked out the casino. Plenty of clear channels to surf.
The CONS were the air thermostate was a little off. The casino nor the competitor's offer free alcholic drinks to players like the state of LA's do, but $4 was not as bad as others.
The complementary, diverse breakfast does not offer any meat. The location is South of town so if you need something you have a small drive.

Room Tip: I sleep well in my south room without hearing any jets from the nearby airport. But if you think you...

“Best kept secret hotel near TUS Airport”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 18, 2012

This hotel is about 2 miles from the airport and provide free shuttle. The hotel entrance is totally separate from the casino far away from the noise and second-hand smoke. The casino is reachable by a long hall past the conference center. The basic room has a large king size bed, large 47'' LCD TV and free internet.

There is no room service but the Casino Grill at the far end of the casino is open all the time for Burgers or Philly cheese steaks. The Grill also have Omelet for Breakfast but do take advantage of the free continental breakfast.

Room Tip: Try get a room on the tower on the same side as the registration desk since it further away from the...
