I just returned from my fourth stay in six months at the Arizona Inn. I have stayed in the "suite", "deluxe" and "premium" room catorgories. All are great. The suite was huge, with two rooms (one room was a living room with a f/p, desk area with a computer and fold out sofa bed, the other room was a huge master bedroom with a desk and sitting area). I don't see alot of difference between the deluxe and premium catorgories except maybe patio and room size. All the rooms are furnished in a comfy spanish style.
The staff is excellent any request is quickly done. The grounds are peaceful and quite lush. You would have no idea you were in the desert if it weren't for the heat. The hotel is on 14 acres, and is quite spread out. If you have problems with mobility, request a room closer to the front lobby.
Room service is excellent and fast. I have not eaten in the main restaurant, but I have eaten in the bar patio several times. The bar patio is a busy place on weekend nights. The service is sloooow there, but the patio is so pretty at night that it just gives you more time to relax. The food is very good - maybe a little pricey - but very good, with the hamburger and the chicken quesidilla being big enough to feed two! The pool area is very pretty and serene. There are alot of little touches that add to your experience - the complimentary bottled water, the box of welcome chocolates, in-room starbucks coffee, and plush robes.
If you go in the off season, they have special rate that includes breakfast and an evening ice cream bar. Both are by the pool area and are very good.
Now the Inn is not the cheapest place to stay, but when you need a break from the college area madness, this is the place to be. It is worth the money.
