This is one of the best B and Bs we’ve stayed at. The historic home is beautifully preserved and decorated. The inn keepers were extremely welcoming and went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. It’s in a lovely location in town on a quiet street. We will definitely stay here the next time we visit Tucson.

We stayed at The Blenman Inn for 2 nights and feel so grateful to have found this lovely Inn for our time in Tucson. We were several days into a week long road trip and arrived quite weary. As soon as we walked through the doors we felt so welcomed and cared for. Margo and Rob are such kind and gracious hosts. The Inn itself is warm and inviting with simply stunning architecture and furnishings that is a reflection of the Inn's history. I am an anxious traveler and my husband had recently completed cancer treatments so we were both in desperate need of some TLC. The first night there I had a whopper anxiety attack and got little sleep. In the morning it was obvious I was struggling and Margo intuitively stepped in to help me. The kindness and care that was given to me is beyond anything we have experienced in our travels. The Inn is an oasis...in the heart of downtown but tucked away, quiet and peaceful. The pool/hot tub area was simply gorgeous...so relaxing and to our delight, visited by a variety of birds that seemed intent on entertaining us. Their sweet dog sat out there with us and looked as peaceful and serene as we felt! We'd also like to give a shout-out to Shay and Annette who were attentive to our needs with so much kindness and care. Breakfast included a variety of goodies to enjoy, with fantastic coffee and pastries as well as other thoughtful offerings. For dinner, we went to both of the restaurants that Rob and Margo recommended...both were within walking distance of the Inn and were top-notch! If you are ever traveling to Tucson, don't miss the opportunity the stay at The Blenman Inn. It is one-of-a-kind in many ways. Highly recommend.…

My husband and I are frequent travelers and when possible enjoy staying at Bed and Breakfasts. The Blenman Inn is at the top of our list for great experiences. The Inn is beautifully restored and cared for and the Innkeepers are extremely service oriented. Our room was large, well stocked and the king size bed very comfortable. Continental breakfast was extensive and in addition a daily $10 per person voucher was given for one of 3 nearby restaurants, all of which were very good. We spent 6 nights at the Blenman while we explored Tucson and visited with friends and found the Inn to be the perfect location. We give this Inn our highest recommendation! Janice and George

My husband and I got to spend six nights at the Blenman last week. It was really special! The owners, Rob and Margo were informative and just good people. Their right hand person, Shey, was outstanding. She had great ideas about everything and she also anticipated our needs. The Inn itself is a beautiful piece of history. We feel blessed to have found such a perfect spot!!

Staying at the Blenman Inn is almost like laying at home. Easy going with all comforts, big and clean rooms, extremely nice family managing the accommodation - always available to encounter your needs -, close to many valuable restaurants and the main business buildings. And, after other hotel experiences, unquestionably a top pick in terms of value for money.

We live in Tucson, but rarely visit downtown. I had a 5 yo magazine with ideas for a romantic weekend in downtown Tucson. The Blenman Inn was on the list of places to stay (it was actually under the previous name). I called and spoke with the owner, Margot. She was so sweet! Upon our arrival we were met by Margot, Kristen, the inn keeper and to my husband's delight hot homemade cookies!! They showed us around the inn and our room. Great amenities, comfy bed and my favorite...the warm fire burning in the gorgeous fireplace. During our stay we received a couple of text messages checking to see if we needed anything. Who does THAT??!! The inn is within walking distance to many restaurants and nightlife. We would HIGHLY recommend the Blenman Inn for it's charm and hospitality!! We will definitely be returning!…

The Blenman Inn is a special place. Beautiful original wood structures, stain glass, and built-ins. Room was decorated to match the period of the home and very comfortable. Many treats from homemade cookies, fine teas, honor bar, and delicious breakfast. Perfect location for the El Tour de Tucson! Highly recommend!

The Blenman Inn is beautiful. You can tell this from the pictures! This is a rare hospitality experience where the owners and staff are finding ways to do more to make your visit exceptional. Start with the personal welcome and tour from Kristen including the pool and hit tub , the beverage and drink bar and kitchen access, the lights on in your room and the seasonal welcome gift. Then you settle in with your drink in the couch and notice the bouquets of fresh flowers, the seasonal decor, the fire in the fireplace. We chatted with Rob, one of the owners, who took time to converse…and he was lovely. We got great dinner ideas too! The morning continental breakfast was very nice, and we were given vouchers for a breakfast spot downtown. Will we be back? Oh yes!!

Period décor was lovely. We love the combination of the continental breakfasts and the vouchers. Loved the hot tub. Beautiful garden with native flora and lots of hummingbirds. We had run of the house so no complaints!
