The Lodge is a beautiful intimate hotel. The grounds are gorgeous. We stayed in a single story location and the bathroom sink was not practical. To tall. Last time we stayed in the 2nd floor room and it was perfect. The onsite restaurant had sub par service and food this time.
3.0
Cute hotel, could use some extra focus on cleaning the bathrooms. Check in was seamless, but very little information was provided (i.e. morning coffee service, where to get towels for the pool, etc.). Breakfast at the restaurant was horrible, and the service was also very poor. For the price, the hotel was fine.

Room was spacious and comfortable, but sort of sparsely furnished. The "patio" was tiny and had 1 chair, no table (reception said 2nd chair couldn't be provided). Met the legal definition of patio, we suppose, but not really useful as such. Otherwise comfortable with fireplace, king bed and soaking tub.

Our room smelled horrible . The bed was very uncomfortable and the bathroom was dark in the shower. There is no light in the shower making it very difficult to see where the shampoo, soap, and conditioner were. To make matters worse we didn’t get the usual breakfast because it’s no longer complimentary!! For the money I paid for the room, this place or not worth it!

I love the Lodge and its Restaurant. They had excellent live music on Saturday night The staff, as always are great and happy to the extra mile.
Love the new tea coffee pot; they’ve done away with the deposited k cups.
The only recommendation would be a refresh of the pillows and bed toppers.

A delightful oasis in the desert, nice pool, atmospheric, and a great restaurant. Rooms include a very nice breakfast buffet. A unique alternative to chain hotels.
3.0
The grounds and restaurant are nice. We eventually ended up in a decent room, hence my mid-review. We were first put in a room that was filthy under the bed and had a terrible sewer smell in the bathroom. The most disappointing part, though, is that they knew about the plumbing issues in that room before placing us there.

100.00 fee for incidentals was not informed to us when we checked in. would have been benificial to know insted of assuming that we knew about it.

Throuigh no fault of hotel, internet was down when we arrived, which messed up checkin. Couldn't get keys for several hours.Staff was very polite and helpful. Our major concern was that the otherwise nice mattress was too soft for our taste, left us stiff and sore first couple of days. For cost, complimentary breakfast would have been nice. We paid for it one day, for average breakfast at best.

Incredibly spacious! Great charm. Especially loved the gas fireplace and view out the shuttered window. Hope to return soon.

Nice looking place, free parking and grounds well maintained. The room look tired. We found several items in need of repair from a leaky faucet, safe that would not open for use, and pulls to open curtains in disrepair. Check-in and check-out were efficient. For the price of the room, not likely to consider it again or recommend it.
2.0
Nice place. I wish the weather had been better when we were there to enjoy the outside areas. The room was musty when we arrived, and we needed to run the air to get that smell away. The room had no shampoo, which I was ok with for one night.

Quaint, quiet, clean, great location to downtown.
Their sous chef became chef and he deserves stars. The limited menu has some very delectable choices at fair prices! His dishes deserve being served on white table cloths! It would be even nicer if service personnel would be properly uniformed and tattoos covered up.
I want to mention one young lady, Steffany, who is pleasant, polite and serves with a smile! She is a pleasure!

courteous check in. room was ok , but should be updated for all the charging devices we and others bring with them...watch, phone, and tablet. Had to use outlets scattered around the room. Would be much more convenient to have them available on each nightstand.

Price went up, perks went down. No free breakfast anymore. One complimentary drink for a 9 day stay at $2500. Used to be my favorite place. Not so much now
8.0
The grounds around the rooms was very nice. It created a peaceful atmosphere. The restaurant was top noch and the service was great. The compimentary breakfast was nice. This is a historic hotel. With that being said, the room was good size but not very functional. A sofa in the room would have been nice. Hot water was a challenge. Discovered that we need to turn on the sink's hot water for 3 minutes to get beyond the very cold water for the shower.

The front office staff of Kaitlin and Lorien have made this stay of multiple reservations simply excellent. The room is spacious and comfortable and clean; the breakfast buffet amazing, and the pool and hot tub terrific.
3.0
The suite was so comfortable. Everything was very clean. We had an odor in our bedroom that seemed to be coming from a sewage backup, but based on everything else, I strongly believe this was something BEYOND THEIR CONTROL.

We gifted this Hotel to our Grandkids for Christmas. There were very few glitches however, the friendliness of staff was missing. We found that true as well when we called. We were told the grounds were nice though

My husband and I were very much looking forward to our stay here in Tucson while hiking Saguaro National Park. We were very disappointed in the quality of this resort. Upon our entry, the parking lot was covered with signs that suggested there had been theft or car damage in the parking lot. The room had a musty/old feel and the couch had hair all of over it (not sure if dog or human). The resort offered to give us another room but we chose to leave that night as we couldn’t see another room being much better. My husband’s allergies were going off the entire time we were in the room.

Nice hotel. I would definitely stay tee again
