Was booked to stay here in early February After a long day of flying and driving, my friend and I finally made it to the hotel ready to sleep At check in, they stated they had some rooms closed due to unexpected maintenance

They made us go to a different hotel Samantha was the one working, and was very sweet, but assured us that Holiday Inn would be reimbursing me for our stay at the other hotelThe second hotel, Comfort Inn next door, took my card, as the Holiday Inn said this would be the case but they would reimburse meThis morning, MORE THAN A MONTH LATER, after speaking with five different employees (never being contacted by a manager or owner as I said I would be), Nicole told me I’m not going to be reimbursed for the $220 stay at the hotel next door She also told me they were overbooked the night I had booked in advance and this is why my friend and I were moved to a different hotel1 They lied initially about the reason for needing to switch hotels2 I’ve spoken with five different people who told me the owners just had not received the bill yet from the other hotel another lie3 Nobody had the decency, until today, they plan to not reimburse usHad we known they would not reimburse, we would have found a different, cheaper hotel or kept driving until we were able to do so The same people must own these two hotels, or else they’re friends What a way to make an easy $220 This is your lesson to get it in WRITING that they are going to reimburse you for the stay in another hotel after the inconvenience of forcing you to switch hotels because their overbooking errorSeems like this was honestly done on purpose Like I said, the owners of these two hotels must be the same, or at the very least, great chums Don’t recommend either hotelNot sure why 0/5 isn’t an option, because that’s what this location deserves

Gevey Vaughn

Hotel was clean and accommodatingMy room was booked through my work and there was several of us there Even with the rooms being full, the front desk clerk was pleasant and worked promptly to accommodate my need for a first floor room

Breakfast isn’t my thing, but looked it over and the options were nice and smelled yummy, but I just grabbed a fruit and checked out Overall no complaints and don’t mind staying here again in the future

Sadly this experience was worse than 1 star but that is all I am allowed Stayed at this establishment for the better part of a month and the housekeepers wouldn’t show up but once every 6 days or so and when I did go down and ask for clean towels/sheets they told me that they did not have any The day she did show up she stole my rechargeable batteries and charger

They even looked up her name and knew exactly who it was!I reported it immediately to the General Manager Tim which has since quit Once he was not able to help me I reported this to the new manager Rosa and she said she would be able to get compensation for the stolen item that I needed for work2 months of back and forth being told I would be taken care of I show up at the hotel and wanted to talk to the managerShe was not there at the time but said would show up Once she was told by the front desk agent it was me she told her she would not be coming and I would also not be compensated for the stolen itemThis establishment certainly does not know how to take care of their guests especially since the company I work for was spending thousands of dollars there and have since switched If you want great service go to the embassy suites not the holiday inn express

I am happy to give this establishment 5 stars Clean & comfortable hotels can still be found at an excellent value- (even in today’s market) The highlights of the suites are the large kitchenette and the extremely helpful service

The front desk personnel are kind, friendly, and accommodating (We were a family of 4 – including a special needs adult staying in the 2 queen room) The suites themselves are located in a quiet part of town relatively close to attractions I felt safe in and around the hotel I would stay again & am happy I found such family friendly lodging!

Robin

We spoke to Nichole Oram the front office manager, multiple times before our stay She was always very nice and helpful with all of our questions about Tucson and the surrounding area She recommended multiple places to dine for both breakfast and dinner

All were VERY GOOD I can’t go on enough about the diner across the road called Jerry Bob’s The staff was very friendly and the cook was spectacularOur room was very clean, and the air conditioning was nice and cold Just what you want in the hot, hot summertime We were surprised to find that we could do laundry for free while staying there We will stay at this hotel every time we pass through this part of Arizona I wish all hotels were as clean, the staff was as nice, and the location this good!Thanks again Nichole for everything

Randi rae

Great rooms, very clean and good for one person Two people might need a larger room than what they offer but for the most part very nice accomodations The staff is very helpful and friendly with the exception of one staff member who has an attitude and is not friendly or concerned with how she comes across to guests

I witnessed multiple interactions in which she was quite unfriendly I did notify the manager of my interaction with this staff member and was assured it would be addressed as it apparently is not the first time someone has brought it to their attention The staff member Ryan, I believe is her name, was my favorite and most helpful, accommodating front desk person I had the pleasure of interacting with and if I went back it would be because of the great service she provided and the effort she made to correct any issue that was brought to her attention As far as hotels pool it was small but nice, the gym was a good size and they offer free laundry which is a plus if your staying for an extended amount of time Overall I was pleased with my stay

Shelley Johnsen

This hotel is certainly top notch in customer service Ann at the front desk, the lady who services the breakfast and the female bartender in the evening were exceptional Everyone greeted us no matter who they were or what they were doing

The pool is large, the outdoor sitting area is fantastic and the view is incredible The suites are very adequate and clean They do allow pets The only bad experience we had was that a room a few doors down had 2 large dogs that howled all day while their owners were out of the room The restaurant has good food, large portions The free breakfast buffet has a huge selection We would stay again if in the area

Andra Pittman

Our stay was great! The suite was more than big enough We didn’t have too much interaction with housekeeping except for asking for towels, housekeeping is upon request but I can’t say enough about the front desk and the ppl that worked in the food area The restaurant area is great! Breakfast was as good as , if not better than most restaurants

Cooked to order eggs, pancakes, yum! It is free but I recommend tipping Everyone from the cooks, waitress and bartender share the tips and they completely earn those tips They also have a great happy hour from 5 to 7 that can be anything from bagged snacks to prepared in the kitchen small plates It was delicious and the bartender was great!

Gina Schrock

I walk with a cane, I called to see if my room had a walk in shower and if I could be close to the entrance or a elevator spoke with Allison who double checked on the shower and delivered everything was perfect had a great view of the pool and mountains, room immaculate! Breakfast was great many choices and healthy ones too! Service was great for breakfast I will definitely be back for we visit family who lives here and everything was great!

This hotel is amazing!! It was my last stop in a string of many hotel stays on a cross country road trip, and boy, did I save the best for last!!Very friendly front desk staff, very clean rooms with high quality soap/shampoo, comfortable beds, and great water pressure The hotel breakfast was one of the best I’ve seen, with lots of options and a large, tastefully decorated space to enjoy it Plus, I love the fresh lemonade & cookies offered by the front desk, a thoughtful touch

I wouldn’t stay anywhere else!! Can’t wait to come back!

Lindsey Lou

We were pleasantly surprised We choose a king size bed room with a pullout couch It had a microwave, fridge, and sink

Plenty of space for a pack-n-play as well The front desk people were courteous and they had complimentary cookies, juice and coffee in the evening For breakfast, their food was better than other hotel breakfasts The egg omelet was soft and they had oatmeal, cereal, and waffles as well Highly recommend

Hayley Stansell

My ONLY con for our experience here was that our room lacked a microwave and the fridge didn’t have a freezer portion I feel like I have never encountered a hotel room without a microwave That said, clean place, well-maintained, just meets the criteria you would expect at a place like this very nicely

The breakfast has the usual items for a hotel in this price range – BUT, it is better attended to than most The items were prepared WELL, the eggs were good (also were just eggs, some places add ham which screws over vegetarians), they had lots of toppings for oatmeal, waffles, etc Overall just an example of a well-run hotel for it’s class Great experience!

Beautiful resort splashed up against the desert mountain rangeNext to a great hiking trail behind the tennis courtsFood and restaurant were blah and not resort quality

Since food quality was blah, we ate outside the resort every day for breakfast, lunch, and dinnerGoing out to enjoy the local food is the best experience Many great food choices for foodiesDrinks were goodSwimming pool and jacuzzi hot tub were awesome, every day and evening

El Conquistador Tucson, A Hilton ResortHotelPLACE DETAILSa week agoBecause this “resort” didn’t send me a survey or request feedback about my stay like most Hilton’s do, I will post my review hereThe resort is beautiful and looks like a lovely place to relax Unfortunately for me, that wasn’t why I booked a four day stay there

Coming from Pittsburgh, PA and never being to AZ before made it difficult to decide where to stay I chose this hotel/resort becauseit was the closest place I could find to where I needed to be to tend to a family crisis I would’ve chosen elsewhere if I knew that there was no way to park closer to my room I wish this was indicated on your website or that someone in the Reservations Dpt warned me, Because I was in Tuscon to help clean out my family member’s house, I returned to the hotel each evening with several heavy bags and binsto sort through which forced me to rely on bellhops every time I was coming or going I waited up to 45 minutes for a bellhop on oneoccasion and then at least 30 minutes for all the other times I’m pretty sure there was only one bellhop available per shift and thatone bellhop always had the only cart with them so I couldn’t do it myself I must say that all my interactions with the bellhops were pleasant, and they all apologized when I told them how long I had been waiting Because the bellhops were the only highlight during my stay, I then had the unexpected task of making sure I had enough cash on hand to give them a well-deserved tip ($30 in $1 bills) I need to add that there was one front desk associate (Jolleane) who offered to walk me to my room as it was late at night, and she knew I had safety concerns This offer was greatly appreciated

Joyce Donnelly

This hotel has beautiful views but you certainly cannot credit the staff for that This is just a hotel that happens to have a nice viewThere are no microwaves, which is extremely inconvenient

If 2 star hotels have microwaves and a free breakfast, I would expect a 4 star hotel to have that as well It really deterred me from spending any money at their over priced restaurant since that is clearly the motive in having no microwaves Luckily there are nice restaurants close byThe hot tubs were not very hot Felt like bath waterRoom service was sub par, I had to ask for full sized towels because they forgot to give me some No real cleaning was done, just a quick towel and garbage grab and they were goneAlso, do not expect to do your laundry here They charge you per item, not per pound You’re better off driving 15 minutes to a laundromat and doing your own laundry for less than $3 (Opposed to $450 per shirt and over $8 per pant, etc)Overall it really seems like I should have gotten a lot more bang for my buck here

This location is great! I’ve stayed multiple times for work in the past and the hotel is always clean and friendly But a huge thank-you to the front desk associate and manager My family and I showed up late at night after a long day of flying

Something happened with the corporate booking service which caused my reservation to be canceled The front desk associate and manager got my family and me into a room right away They were so friendly and compassionate about the situation and went out of their way to help us I cannot imagine many other locations that would take such care of their guests Thank you again!

Debbie S

The service person who took care of the breakfast area provided Outstanding service every morning She kept things very clean and fully stocked She was personable, happy, friendly, accommodating and just an all around wonderful person

She was Fantastic!The stove in the kitchen was old and cheap and all the burners were lopsided & did not allow the cook pans to cook evenly because they didn’t fit the range

Christopher Clark

I stayed for almost a month but Marriott, unlike every Hilton property I have ever stayed with, is denying my points even though I gave them my information at the time of my checking in They neglected to mention that I wouldn’t get my points also during the entire length of my stay I recommend staying with Hilton over Marriott when travelling on business as I have never had an issue with them

So, given the reply below, what is it that you can do for me to assure that I get my points?

Had to make our own bed with incorrect sheets: Prechecked into room from email in the morning and received notification that room was ready by noon Arrived late at night to find that only one bed was made Was told there were no other rooms to be exchanged and was then given sheets to make our own bed

Sheets were the incorrect size too small This was to be a good positive family trip and after a long day of traveling this was not a positive place to be Very sad Was given a discount but would have rather have paid more to have a good situation

Armando Enriquez

I just want to say that in this hotel they have bugs The reception person went to take photos and looked at the bug that was there as soon as I let them know in case they wanted to stay here She meant that they were rain bugs that doesn’t make sense

She didn’t apologize or offer anything very disappointed I feel I wish they could be more careful with this and I am talking about the hotels owners

We stayed here for two nights in February and wished we had booked a week! The Adobe Rose is a very beautiful, immaculate adobe styled bed and breakfast inn with gorgeous outdoor spaces including an in ground pool There was parking on and near the premises

The rooms were all well appointed, clean and very comfortable Tom and Bob were wonderful hosts Communication regarding the reservation, check in/out, breakfast menus and the like was excellent And as other guests have pointed out, the breakfasts were amazing!! It started with wonderful coffee (and juice if you wanted) Followed by a fruit platter, main course and then dessert This delicious meal lasted us all day The neighborhood was very quiet, quite charming as well as very conveniently located to the convention center, the university, the botanical gardens, zoo, etc We will definitely stay here the next time we visit Tucson I am very grateful we were able to stay at this wonderful Inn!

Catherine Gallagher

A lovely get-away location for visiting Tucson The central courtyard is a beautiful oasis with plants and birds to make one feel totally relaxed Lots of tables to sit at outdoors

Indoors, there is a wonderful common area with a fireplace And the breakfast is divine The proprietor Tom made accommodations to my vegan boyfriend to ensure he had a beautiful breakfast to enjoy Wonderful food and great central location to visit many sites in Tucson!

Barbara MacLeod

I LOVED my two nights at the Adobe Rose Inn I visited Tucson for a quick professional appointment and was so glad that I had done my research to find a restorative, beautiful spot in a quiet neighborhood Everything was fantastic – I reserved the king room with the deep tub and was glad I did

Terry was so welcoming and cooked up two incredible breakfasts The flowers were in bloom, the pool was a lovely respite and I can’t say enough good things about my stay

It reminded me of what a Tucson quaint resort would be It was a referral for us to check Lou check out and it lived up to what was described to us as a quiet get away for us as a coupleThe staff was awesome! Especially the gentleman that was running the breakfast every morning

He was very kind and Thoughtful and we saw him 4 mornings in a row The options were awesome for a free breakfast the views were one of the best parts, you do not have patio or inside were both great choices Free mimosas were awesome too!We didn’t try the regular rooms we did get a suite that was pretty cool because it had its own patio in front and patio in the back and a Mini kitchen… There was no bathtub So for warning if you want to soak, but they do have a Hot tub that was nice and a well kept pool, though it was showing its age One of the small amount of pools left that still have a deep end so it’s nice to do a little dive :)They have a good event center that I’m hoping to do a wellness event ato vent at so I encourage anybody wanting to easier access for traffic and parking place to do an event to check it outIf there was one thing that stands out that I would ask them to improve it would be the elevator😬 I know it’s older but the smell was odd and it just seemed rickety and wasn’t a good 1st impression when taking things down to the rooms It could make a world of difference to have a nice elevator to greet people for their 1st time on the property It would be a great investment for that establishment Outside of that everything else was well maintained, comfortable, quaint, totally Southwest to Tucson vibe, and nice Courtyard gardensWill be coming back again

Cherry May

Quaint, cozy, clean and affordable are the words that best describe this little hidden oasis We love that it is the most pet friendly hotel we’ve ever been to Staff were nice and accommodating

Only reason why I cannot give it 5 stars is because 1) There is no on site laundry facility and 2) The bathroom does not have a vent fan Other than that, this is the best place to take your family and your pet(s) while in Tucson

Jim Mash

This is a cozy hotel, we enjoyed our stay The staff are exceptional, they gave us great accommodations because we are with our kids, the breakfast were great, more than the standard hotel continental breakfast The hotel layout and architectures are quite unique, like in south Spain or some Caribbean town

Location is close to lots of shops and restaurants, very convenient Will definitely come back next time!

This is a 35 star review There are many good aspects and a few not so good things about Lodge on the Desert

Based on the pictures on the website and the room we were given there is likely a renovated half and a non-renovated half near the restaurant While we were on the restaurant side, our room was not as bad as what was noted in other reviews The carpet had not been vacuumed, but otherwise the room was clean enough and rather large Bathroom was fine and the large closet had the coffee service and fridge 3 stars The restaurant atmosphere was nice and they had a lot of outside seating The breakfast was free and was a set menu and not very exciting but tasty enough 4 stars The grounds have a great cactus garden and a lawn for pets and one for kids and events The pool is on the small side and there are not enough seats for everyone to enjoy 4 stars Very friendly front desk! Convenient location to everything in Tucson and local parks Will try to get a room on the renovated side next time

My wife and I stayed at this hotel for the first time, the staff and management were so friendly and helpful, and they were extremely courteousWe arrived at the resort on Easter lunch and experienced one of the best buffetGeneral manager was present and greeting all the guests, he also came to our table made sure we were well taken care of

Next day, We received a call from the hotel staff asking if our stay was going well and if we need anything Daily complimentary breakfast was more than our expectation Everything was perfectI would recommend this hotel to my friendsMike and Nina

I like this Hampton I stay here often They have a pool and hot tub

You can walk to a few different restaurants, including the gas station/Dairy Queen directly next door They have an uncovered outdoor areas for us dying breed of smokers, it’s just next to the pool and has a great view of TucsonThe only bad thing is the breakfast I’ve stayed at a million hotels and the free breakfasts are always lacking Maybe I need to learn to use the waffle makers 🤷🏼‍♂️ but the same folded over eggs and the same potatoes get old I settled for cereal and a yogurt The rooms have a coffee maker in them, but I took a chance and went to the lobby at 5am I found the coffee was fresh and decent Many hotels don’t put out fresh coffee until 6am when breakfast is served, so I was happy about that!!If you go a few miles south on Oracle, there is a first watch They have some of the best breakfast there If you haven’t been before, you should try it rather than the hotel breakfast, you’ll thank me later I do feel bad talking bad about the breakfast, because the lady that makes it all is a super nice lady and does a great job! She even draws smiley faces on the oranges

I want to leave a review on how excellent the representatives are I had been up since 5 am, flew on a plane, and had to drive from PHX I have a reservation set up already, but my debit card froze, and I did not have access to pay for the whole stay

She allowed me to pay for one night and come back and pay for the additional days I would also love to mention that this hotel is quiet, clean, and peaceful Thank you for the unforgettable mini-vacation

The front desk were very kind, pleasant, and helpful All the employees wore masks Decent breakfast options and good variety of channels on the TV

I always had parking at the front of the hotel The young woman who checked me out was going to try to get me greener stay points since I did not use housekeeping during my stay I also liked the convenience of the gas station nearby and the bike trail by Steam Pump Ranch (have to walk to Steam Pump ranch across the shopping center to get to it) There was a gym with a small but decent assortment of free weights, a bench, and a small but decent amount of cardio equipment, and outdoor pool 5 min away from Linda Vista hikes The room was mostly clean There were some weird quarter sized stains on the couch and curtain in the room The office chair had tons of crumbs (or bed bug eggs?) in the seams of the chair so I moved it to the corner of the room and did not use it for my stay The shower was out of body soap but I used the bar soap by the sink There was also no lotion in the room It would have also been nice if the gym had more stationary bike options other than the recliner bike and more cardio options, such as having a stair-master

On paper, this place has exactly what we needed: two beds and a sleeper sofa at an affordable priceWhen we arrived, an afternoon in the middle of a desert heatwave, we checked in then found out there was no running water for the next three hours And if we needed a drink? There was a vending machine selling bottled water for two bucks a pop

This did not sit well with me It’s a desert heatwave Maybe offer free water while you fix your pipes!Since we were traveling, we needed to use a toilet – and we needed them to flush! The guy at the desk said we could go to Denny’s We hopped in the car and drove over A big sign on their door indicated toilets were for paying customers only Being dehydrated, we bought drinks so we could use the toiletThat night, in the room, we learned we could not control the AC It was so cold! (Ironic, I know)So at least I had breakfast to look forward to Wrong again A sign indicated Tucson area hotels were having supply chain issues with their hot breakfast items Out of curiosity, I called two other 3-star hotels, and they both reported no supply chain issues with breakfast I wonder if the management just wanted ways to short us for profitThey did remodel recently So the freezing room with no water or breakfast did have a new toilet and suchI should also note the girls working the front desk were all super professional and kind Not their fault the management does it this way

James Pellinghelli

This hotel is pretty conveniently locatedIt has a pretty good shower in the room and the room was pretty cleanThe bed was very firm

Breakfast was OKMicrowave cooked eggs!!A pretty good experience for the price overallI’ve always been happy to stay at a Country Inn and Suites

Diane Hilliard

The room was clean and mostly comfortable I don’t believe the sofa bed sheets were fresh However, after going to the front desk to request replacement sheets and being denied by the housekeeper there, we encountered a housekeeper near our room that was more than happy to supply us with whatever we needed

The telephone in the room is mostly unusable because the cord from the phone to the handset is broken, and doesn’t stay in the handset unless you hold it there I get we have cellphones now, but sometimes you just wanna call the front desk The breakfast was mediocre We got there about an hour before closing on a Sunday, and there was no milk left (pitcher only) The sausages were limp and undercooked The fruit was fresh, and there were lots of bread choices It was ok, just not for my taste Overall, the room was comfortable Just like having different choices for pillows, I guess it’s the same for beds One queen was comfy, the other hard as a rock Luckily there were others in our party not as old as me, so they were fine Most of the staff were encountered were friendly and helpful, the pool was clean and refreshing, and the room was comfortable (the chair and sofa were really comfy!) The neighborhood is a little rough (there was a shooting at the hotel next door), but we didn’t go out at night so we were fine Daytime is great Convenient, literally right off the freeway Oh, and nice hot water for the shower!

We only stayed one night but I wanted a clean room and a welcoming atmosphere after a long day of driving The resort delivered The room looked just like the picture and it was clean and relaxing

The thermostat was easy to use which made our stay comfortable The staff was so kind and welcoming They helped us figure out dinner and get settled The waitstaff was amazing and the food was delicious We spent a few hours at the grill and had a wonderful time We are planning to come back with our full family to enjoy the other accommodations Worth the price

Doug Wicks

It’s a nice resort, beautiful environs Reasonably priced, good facilities, very nice staff Like a lot of properties, I think it needs a little refresh after covid, seems like certain things have not been attended to as perhaps they would have if Wyndham was flush, and staffing was not an issue

Paths around the property need repaving Less trafficked areas of grounds had bits of litter Carpet fraying a bit at the junction w hard floor of the bathroom Mostly very nice but

We had stayed previously at the Loews Resort and had such an awful time there we decided to give this place a try, and I’m so incredibly happy we did The staff was so nice and our check in process was quick and easy, we booked through bookingcom and had no issues at all

Valet was present and able to help us to our room immeadiately and he was such a sweetheart The staff working along the property are incredibly knowledgeable about its history John Wayne and Dean Martin had stayed here before and the room they use to stay in is now the cutest gift shop The room service was amazing, everything was fresh and clean We tried all the deserts and couldn’t pick a favorite they were equally so wonderful in their own ways We walked around the gardens and the chefs garden was so amazing We saw so much wildlife including a snakes, cardinals, lizards, and lots of different species of butterflies We learned about a ghost that also roam the property and in the beginning of my stay I swear I had seen her standing in our bathroom checking on us We are huge paranormal fans so this was an out of this world stay Definitely coming back Thank you so much to everyone here!

This hotel was a great place to stay the night on our trip home The room was super clean along with the rest of the hotel The breakfast in the morning was hot and the front desk clerk kept the breakfast room spotless, he cleaned after every guest filled their plates and finished eating

It was so nice to be in such a clean facility with friendly attentive staff We would definitely stay here again if in the area Worth every penny

Ranger Green

This hotel is very nice Patrick was at the front desk and he was very friendly Check-in was fast

The room was clean and the bed was comfortable Our room was very quiet, too Breakfast was greatmore than enough to get you going in the morning The coffee was very good! Over-all, this is a nice place to stay (my wife and I stayed two nights) I will stay here again and I recommend it Just gotta mention Patrick at the front-desk againvery nice guy!

Dale Eagar

Three stars is a mid level rating not disappointing and not surprisingly great That is average in my book, as it indicates my expectations were metThe room was physically clean and smelled clean and fresh but not chemically

The bed was comfortable and clean as well All in all the stay was fineThe hotel is near I-10, so there is some road noise, again as expected The noise, however, was not bothersome to meSo, in summary, a solid three star or average, as expected, ratingDisappointing me results in lost stars A pleasant surprise will earn an added star or, if exceptional, two

I’d never stayed in Tucson and if I can avoid it I certainly will My husbands company used Choice Hotels and he had already stayed in a couple others in Tucson that were unsuitable That being said, If you don’t mind a hotel crowded with the homeless and transient then this could be a place for you

There is what seems like a homeless camp behind the hotel and unfortunately that’s where most of the parking is as well I didn’t feel comfortable going out of the hotel at night Those that could afford a room were inside the common areas As we were walking in with our bags, we were stopped by the front desk clerk saying he had run up to check our room and it wasn’t ready He had switched us to another that was and handed us our new key We got up to our room and it smelled of fried food, which is weird because we were on the second floor The bathroom door didn’t close much less lock and the volume on the remote didn’t work either The next morning I woke up to what felt like bug bites all over my legs and torso We only had 1 set of towels for 2 people and so we made the most of it The breakfast area was again crowded with transients and we definitely won’t be staying there again The staff was very courteous and doing the best they can under the circumstances

Denis Aseltine

Where shall I start? First I have been a Choice Privileges member for seven years and never had a problem or issue at any Choice Hotel that we have stayed at Well that all changed this time and hopefully will not be an issue for anyone else but it needs to be told about this Comfort Inn Upon check we were informed by the clerk that the pool and hot tub were not available because they had not been given clearance! She said we would be able to use the pool and hot tub at the Holiday Inn Express next door by showing our room key

We decided to do that and you can guess our embarrassment upon walking into the Holiday Inn Express and being told no way they had no information about Comfort Inn guest using their pool, saying it would be a liability issue, agreed with that Upon informing the clerk at the Comfort Inn she made a phone call in the back office and then said there is an issue She gave us 20% off our room but later saw her let a lady and kids into the pool Really? Reported same to Customer service

The suite was very spacious and clean The pool area hot tub patio seats everything was kept very nice The girls at the front desk we’re polite and courteous as well as the clerk the next morning on day shift

Although they had construction going on at the time it did not affect my room and the noise from the contractors was only during working hours and did not wake us up or keep us from going to sleep Located next to great restaurants like Guadalajara right across the street I would highly recommend staying at this hotel

Dr. Holly DeWitt

Had a great 1-night stay! Front desk, Sara & Michelle, were fabulous! I stayed in a renovated room and it was so nice! Hot water, great lighting, refrigerator, comfy bed, and great location to restaurants/drinks/Whole Foods Pool was very clean and great temperature No breakfast, currently, due to renovations(but knew that going in)

Would definitely recommend!

Thomas Xyclone

We stayed at the 3 Palms for five days The room was clean but very small We had a king size bed which took up mahout 90% of the room

Actually, the room was laid out nicely and had a small refrigerator and microwave in a cabinet The room had the nicest big screen television I have ever seen The staff was very friendly We were at the back of the hotel where a lot of construction equipment was stored It appeared that the hotel was under major renovation but surprisingly the area was actually very quiet I think our room had been renovated: however I noted a large crack under the entry door Worried that rodents or bugs could easily enter the room No breakfast is offered at the hotel but coffee and tea is offered in the morning My main issue is the road in front of the hotel, N Oracle road, is like a freeway Non stop speeding traffic made it difficult to exit the property There are plenty of restaurants and businesses in the area that you can walk to but the area is much too congested Not a bad hotel, although a little expensive,but I would probably stay elsewhere on my next visit The room was just too small and there is no breakfast included with the rate

I really liked this hotel!! The staff were all very nice, the property was beautiful and in a great location The decor in the lobby as well as the rooms was really cool We enjoyed drinks at Noble Hops as well as the lobby bar

The breakfast buffet was very good The only reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 was because our bed felt a bit old and uncomfortable/hard, and then also there was no fan in the bathroom for showering and ventilation

Joseph Fimbres

Hello everyone, i only put 3 ⭐ due to that fact that i did not interact with there staff Nor did I personally receive any services for them I will say that that room my wife got was clean & neat

AC worked well We were there just for the pool & food Our own that it Please be mindful of the other guests around you!!!! Let’s just say some follow rules & well others just don’t care! Thx

Martha N

LOVED this stay We were on the top floor We didn’t have time to use the pool area but the hotel was up to date as far as I saw

GREAT hotel staff Friendly, accommodating and professionalNote* no complimentary breakfast Close to the heart of the cityAlso was near family attractions/ kid friendly areas!The bathroom shower door was my complain, the door kept opening, which led to a wet floor! Nothing to crazy though!
