The Blenman Inn

History and character. Friendly owner and great amenities.

Beautiful history, beautiful property, beautiful location.

I am 6' 11" and it was unclear for a king or queen size bed. I was understanding I rented a king, it being a queen was uncomfortable due to my size.

Charming historic space and friendly, helpful staff

TERRIBLE! Do not stay here.

The did not honor a commitment made (twice!) by their employee to refund our money.

The managers!

The bathroom just didn't have enough shelf space; a place to put STUFF!

I don't know where to start! Everything! The Inn was perfection! The rooms were charming. The history of the building and all the work that has gone into maintaining the authenticity, fascinating. We met one of the owners who was lovely and engaging. The staff were knowledgeable, helpful and kind. Breakfast was all homemade and deelish! Three of the rooms were occupied but we couldn't hear a thing from any of them. I can't wait to return. Location was within walking distance of Tucson attractions and restaurants. Highly, highly recommend. (Special commendations to the staff!)

Not a thing!

Lovely historic property, friendly helpful staff, basic breakfast and coffee, comfortable room, honor bar.

Not much.

The history of this place is incredible and the architecture was so unique; you really can’t find another experience like this. There’s so much within walking distance, no matter what you might be into: murals; boutique shopping, great food, concerts, people watching, or walking around one of the longest-inhabited places in the U.S. The staff is also phenomenal!

We liked everything from start to finish. We were welcomed like family and they even had a gift in our room to celebrate my husband’s doctorate. We couldn’t have asked for more.

The short stay!

If you're looking for a distinctive base in central Tucson, consider The Blenman House Inn. Only a short walk from nightlife and shopping, this former family dwelling has character and appeal drawn from almost a century and a half of prominence in the city's development. Visually it is a work of art, but perhaps as important to the traveler it offers a peaceful refuge. Rooms lack nothing in facilities despite the building's history, and both the initial reception area and the adjoining garden encourage relaxation.

Loved the history and luckily had it all to ourselves.

Hot tub did not seem to operate correctly/easily

Well cared for historic house of interest and beauty offered by friendly and super-helpful team.

Nothing - it was lovely

It was the most beautiful home, that was such a historic time capsule. I loved all the authentic antique decor. The location was great for walking to many shops and restaurants. The staff is the friendliest and super accommodating.

I wish the windows could open for fresh air, but understand that they probably can’t for safety.

The ambience the staff. How much they all care about the history and care of this amazing building

Plumbing a bit iffy. Long time to get hot water and try to be conscientious about running water in the southwest. Beds are way too soft. Too many pillows everywhere

The staff went above and beyond my expectations! They were so accommodating and friendly. My stay was wonderful and my room was lovely! I only wish I could have stayed on longer! I have referred the Blenman Inn to family and friends. It was a beautiful experience staying in this historic home. I will definitely be staying here again.

I liked everything!

An absolute gem, particularly if you want to step back in time to real B&Bs with real families and innkeepers hosting. The care for guests is very clearly first at the Blenman Inn. We mentioned on our way out the door for dinner that we needed to shop for shoes for our event the next day. When we got back, we had a wonderful handwritten card with store suggestions and addresses inside. Personal touches mean everything!Breakfast is buffet style and homey, great quality and beautifully presented. Tea and coffee are available 24/7, as is the small bar (they ask a mere $5/drink for the latter).The pool and hot tub are well kept and also 24/7.Our bed was comfortable, there was plenty of hot water for showers, and all amenities were cared for and clean. The pride of ownership is evident at every turn.Make time to listen to the home's history. Very interesting!

This wasn't an issue for us, but wanted to give others a heads up: Mornings are quiet so as not to disturb other guests in this old house. If you are a very light sleeper or are a noisy riser, this may not be the most comfortable place for you.

Excellent location in downtown Tucson. Historic house in fantastic shape. Lots of personality. Second time staying here.

The breakfast selection was extensive and we enjoyed our yogurt with granola. They also provided snacks throughout the day so we were never hungry! The location was fantastic. We could walk to the concert hall and to all the restaurants and bars downtown. Once we parked, we didn't need our car except to pick up our son.

There is a bar next door that has outside seating. There was noise from there but I brought my ear plugs so it was okay. You could also request a room on the side opposite of the the pool and it probably wouldn't be a problem

Every detail is paid great attention. The staff is accessible and responsive and very nice. The accommodations are beautiful and well maintained. TONS of charm in the place. The continental breakfast was a nice bonus. They are generous with snacks and treats and even have an honor bar with alcohol in the kitchen.

Hard to say anything negative, but I would have liked the pool/jacuzzi to be better filtered. I also wish they would have informed us verbally that they give vouchers for a breakfast out; we didn't realize that until we were leaving and read it in the manual.

Everything about the facilities was fantastic. Great hosts/innkeepers, loved the location, rooms were clean, spa heated quickly, and the breakfast was perfect. Would definitely return!

Only a couple drawbacks. The pool was very cold, which was surprising given the ambient temps in Oct were still in the 90s. The spa was great though and heated very qukkcly! The other was not the property's fault, but next door there was an event space where they had some sort of DJ/rave/EDM concert going on from 10pm - 2am and our room was on the same side of the property as the concert. None of us could sleep it was so loud, surprising they were able to get away with an outside concert so late. This was only on one of the three nights we stayed, so think it was just bad timing.
