This is a beautiful hotel with classic southwestern architecture. The rooms were nicely decorated and spacious. The restaurant served fabulous food and they weren't fussy about sharing or splitting meals; they actually made up two separate plates with smaller portions. Centrally located in a quiet part of town.

The Lodge on the Desert is updated "old Southwestern style"--beautiful grounds, gorgeous pool and hot tub area (and it's open 24 hours/day!) and they have a fabulous restaurant. A true oasis, centrally located (a plus given that Tucson can be so spread out and many of the nicer properties are way up in the foothills);peace in the city! And dog-friendly!

I go to Tucson to visit my daughter at the UofA. We've stayed at alot of places and this was by far the best! It wasn't far away, lovely rooms, lovely grounds, restaurant on the property... I would definitely stay there again.

We just stayed at the Lodge on the Desert in Tucson and it was a great getaway. Although you are right in the city, it gives you the feel of being in a quiet, peaceful setting. Our room was great, and the pool area, although small, was relaxing. They have a great Happy Hour each evening from 4-6 with reduced price drinks and half-price on all their bar food. The mussels were great, as was their guacamole, and the burgers were yummy. The girl at the front desk was very helpful with directions.
