My wife and I enjoyed a 3 night stay at the Arizona Inn and found everything about the hotel far above par, save one situation.
Upon check-in, we were escorted to our wonderful room by our bellman. He opened the windows and patio door to let in the gorgeous Tucson fresh fall air, pointed out the amenities and complimentary basket of fruit and champagne, graciously accepted a token of our appreciation and left.

After a rather long trip from Las Vegas, we disrobed to our underwear, and settled on our private patio with the champagne and fruit. When it became uncomfortably hot from the afternoon sun, we decided go inside, and had we ben informed that we needed a key to reenter we could have avoided the most embarassing moment of year. With no towell or robe, which are provided, I had to exit thru the patio gate and loudly call for attention. A passing service attendant with a key let us back in and after overcoming our anger and embarassment, we laughed about it and proceeded to thoroughly enjoy the great food and service at the Arizona Inn.

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.

The Arizona Inn was a great place to stay. We recently attended a wedding in Tucson and got a great price for airfair and hotel. I had heard great things about the Arizona Inn and they were all true.

We arrived late since our flight was delayed. In our room there was fresh pitcher of lemonade and some sandwiches. The grounds were beautiful and the rooms were very comfortable. I really felt like I was in a very exclusive resort even though it's right in the middle of town.

The service was exceptional and the free breakfast choices were great. You could order room service, eat in the dinning room or have a buffet breakfast by the pool. They also have a free ice cream bar poolside in the evenings.

I have family in Tucson and plan to make the Arizona Inn my place to stay when I go visit.

We stayed at the inn for 3 days and from the minute we checked in to when we left was superb. The staff were helpful especially by the poolside no sooner had you sat down they would come to you with cold water to drink. Breakfast by the pool is a lovely idea the food was delicious ,also the ice cream bar at night went down very well !!. Would love to return.
