We were passing thru Tucson from Texas,we decided to stay in the Lodge because a few year’s ago we stayed here when we went to 🌵 NP and we loved it. For the second time it did not disappoint. Clean room, nice space for my two kids and husband. Next time we go to Tucson we will definitely stay here!

The hotel is on a busy street, but once on property, it is comfortable and reasonably quiet. The king suite room was spacious, and we chose it to have a balcony. The direct view from the balcony was of another part of the hotel, but to one side was a view of mountains, and we could see the pool from the other side. Limited options for walking to restaurants, but overall a good base location for day trips in the Tucson area.
