Arizona Inn

This is a special place, in the same family for generations. The site itself is very beautiful and authentic. Wonderful swimming pool. Very well kept up. Old world feel. The staff is very nice, professional and welcoming. My only down is the food. The breakfast avocado toast has almost no avocado. I saw that each day. Also, the bread is generic. There are excellent bakeries in Tucson! Too bad since the setting is so beautiful. Soon back with room service. And I still absolutely recommend this place.

Old world charm. It’s a classy and relaxing place that I would highly recommend. It’s not a corporate hotel, it’s such a nice change. My grandmother used to come and stay here for a month, and I can see why. Nestled in the heart of Tucson, you would think you are out on a remote ranch. The landscaping is immaculate, the service impeccable and the food in the dining rooms is excellent

I hosted a small dinner party at Arizona Inn--the food and service were outstanding. The great setting and fantastic weather made for a memorable evening. Working with Crystal was a pleasure and the prices were quite fair. I was impressed with every aspect of the event and recommend Arizona Inn without reservation.

My partner and I paid a visit Labor Day weekend. Although the room was large and elegant and the Inn's facilities are impressive, our stay was unpleasant on account of their disgraceful attitude to service animals. We have a service dog. While waiting to check in, the bellhop on duty walked over to claim that dogs are not allowed in the hotel. The desk clerk on duty backed us up. The next day another bellhop treated us with real aggression, ordering us to remove the dog. When I offered to show him the service dog license, he sneered "it's not worth my while". And after that we were told that no dogs, including service animals, are allowed in the Inn's public rooms. This prohibition is, of course, against the law. I gave a full account of these problems to the hotel's general manager, Mr Brad McCarthy. So far from taking any action to make the situation right, he stonewalled, at first simply denying that any of this had happened, and then referring vaguely to innocent "misunderstandings". When I requested that he interview the offensive bellhop and get back to us, he flatly refused to do so. I add that their garden's beds need weeding; the maid had left a badly broken drinking glass in our room; and that the over-priced breakfast can at best be described as very mediocre. All these are clear signs of mismanagement at a senior level.

We've stayed here countless times over many years, all seasons, Christmas family reunion, just R & R. The Arizona Inn is in a class by itself - truly a Tucson icon. It is always gracious and welcoming, like visiting family or good friends. The rooms are filled with comfortably used antiques I would be quite happy to have in my own home. The food is very good and the grounds always lovely. It's a peaceful enclave in the middle of the city, quiet, gated and safe for grandchildren to explore. And it's also actually pet free!
