    Pros +

    • Spacious room, clean bathroom, fridge, electric kettle. Beautiful gardens.
    • Beautiful facility. Front desk staff and repair man competent and friendly.
    • This property is small and the grounds are beautiful, Good Vibes!

    Cons -

    • The A/C unit in 135 should be replaced. I couldn't leave it on at night because it was so loud, and the room became hot. The property is showing a lack of investment in upkeep. Exterior paint is peeling in places and my room needs repainting.
    • Bathroom had soaps and hand lotions but 2 out of the 4 pump lotion bottles were completely empty. Maid service came but didn't replace them.
    • furniture and curtains need an update, but not bad

    Attractive well located hotel with nice well maintained grounds.

    No microwave. Parking on Saturday night impacted by restaurant folks.

    8Verified guestPosted on: 10-28-2024

    The setting is nice and the grounds are lovely. Check in experience was nice.

    The room was dusty. There was a line of dust in the plantation shutters. The lady at checkout was just rude. Training is in order.

    Nice room, great service all around, terrific restaurant and bar.

    9Verified guestPosted on: 5-9-2024

    The property and rooms were so cute,!

    The bathroom sink did not drain. The air conditioner could not be set lower than 69. I like it cold when I sleep!

    7Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 4-19-2024

    The location and the staff were excellent. We really liked our room, except for the noise in the background, we were right next to the laundry and garbage pick up (way in the back) - awkward.

    Yep, there was no fitness center available, even though I called numerous times, and the front desk/concierge confirmed there was a fitness center on site, my husband works out everyday and that was an important aspect of our selection!

    10Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 1-16-2024

    It is an older, charming hotel, Tucson style, with updated features.

    9RobinPosted on: 12-22-2023

    The hotel was beautiful, clean and check in was easy.

    We has 2 queen beds and the mattresses were not comfortable

    10OlgaPosted on: 12-14-2023

    Location is great. We loved our room. You cant find a better breakfast either.

    We asked about the brand of the mattress but no one could help us. We want to purchase one for home.

    10DonaldPosted on: 11-19-2023

    An amazing oasis in Tucson!! Beautiful rooms, great breakfast! Would definitely return!

    The area is very run down. Vagrancy is an issue. Long drive from the interstate, but a true oasis upon arrival!

    9OlgaPosted on: 5-20-2023

    Room size was excellent, the grounds of the hotel are so peaceful and the location can¿t be beat!

    Only problem was that we had problems getting our key card to work but security came right away. We will definitely return to this hotel.

    Location, Location, Location. Pool. It was very clean and a really nice bed and quiet. Included breakfast that didn't hurt either. Big spread of offerings changed daily. Nice surroundings.

    Small bathroom. Wobbly toilet. And could have used some electrical upgrades as far as outlets.

    8TomPosted on: 2-26-2023

    Comfortable good size room. Great hot breakfast buffet.

    They need to update bathroom/shower.

    Second visit to Lodge on the Desert. Clean, well appointed rooms with balcony & fireplace. Nice bathrooms and showers. Wonderful breakfast at the on-site restuarant Cielo. Welcomes dogs for $50/night (a bit steep I think). But otherwise, love the pla

    Nothing, other than a pretty high rate to have your dog with you. Ours is quiet, small, and doesn't make any messes. Also, the first room offered did not have a fireplace and was on a busy side of the Lodge. We requested another room and they complied.

    10RandyPosted on: 12-13-2022

    The room was terrific. Spacious, clean, nicely decorated, large bathroom, great bed. Excellent layout of the property.

    10Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 9-2-2022

    So unique. Loved the courtyards, the pools, the restaurant. It was just a neat experience, felt like we got a true taste of old Tucson.

    10LindaPosted on: 4-10-2022

    Everything! The room was very roomy and clean. Loved that the ice cooler was right outside our door. The bed was so comfortable! The staff was very friendly and attentive. Excellent breakfast!! Would definitely be staying here again.

    The style of the hotel was lovely, the pool wonderful, and the restaurant food excellent.
