Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
The parking situation was not well-communicated. There no basic amenities like a coffee maker or other things you would expect in even the most basic hotel room. You're paying strictly for access to the University here.

We had a great time! The location was ideal, we received excellent recommendations from the concierge (mostly for restaurant advice, but also for info about the local scene), the price was excellent and we were very surprised to find ourselves planted in the roof top bar/restaurant most nights - twice we stayed much later than is common for us. What an awesome spot! We both agreed to the wording of this review by the way - highly recommended!

The property itself is exceptional. Clean. Attentive hotel staff. Pool and bar five stars. I hope they change their valet service though. They kept telling me I didn’t pay so my in and out privileges could not be honored. I pre-paid for my two night stay on the day I arrived so I could have in and out privileges. Everytime I tried to summon my car via text we instructed, the bill kept coming up that I need to pay. This went on my whole stay. So my car wasn’t brought to the front when I needed it and I had to explain to valet staff I paid and had to show them copy of paid transaction Everytime I needed my car. The hotel would be an A+ but my hassle w the valet prevented me from giving them 5 star review. They need to change valet system asap

Fantastic Stay

I stayed here solo for 2 weeks for a conference at University of Arizona and I cannot recommend this hotel enough! The University is directly across the street, so walking anywhere (even to restaurants like Agave House and Bacio Italiano) was a breeze. The rooftop lounge/bar had great food and drinks, thank you to the bartender Taylor for making me feel comfortable my first night! You and the other gentleman with you were hilarious. THE VIEW WAS AMAZING. Everything was very clean and kept up. The rooms were thoughtfully designed and so cute! I did not purchase breakfast when I booked so I didn't get any (went to Einstein Bagels), but it looked great and seemed reasonably priced. The only thing that I did not like was the parking options, it's either you park on the street and pay the meters every 2 hrs or you pay for the valet which I thought was expensive. Also, they seem to operate independently from the hotel so at times it was a little confusing with payment. All in all, I had a great time and everyone was so nice! If you're on the fence, just pick this place, I highly recommend you stay here!

One night stay to visit Tucson with my teenage daughter. Super cute, instagrammable hotel. Rooftop pool was great. Very walkable to cute boutiques and food. Basically right off the free shuttle line to downtown historic Tucson. This area seems much cleaner and safer than historic Tucson.

Right in downtown, plenty downtown shopping available with a museum directly across the street. Trish at front desk, Diego (valet) and Claire (restaurant upstairs) are absolutely wonderful! Beds could be a bit softer but would definitely stay here again! Thank you for making my family feel so welcome and cared for. The girls st the breakfast/lunch bar are great too!
