Top Desert Discovery Center Hotel Reviews

Starr Pass Golf Suites

10/10 Excellent

"The unit was clean and comfortable. The landscaping is great. We parked right in front of our unit. We had late check-out, which really helped us. The drive down W. Starr Pass Blvd. into Tucson was very beautiful! One more hand rail in the shower would be helpful for safety. Special thanks to Aaron at Creosote for helping us at lunch and for finding our Dane!"
