Stayed at a competing hotel-casino in the area a week before (will remain unnamed) and made an honest mistake when booking. Instead of working with me, they charged me full price for a night I didn't even stay. Decided to book the Estrella for my next business trip and I'm glad I did. Staff was attentive to my needs, rooms were clean and spacious and the casino had great food options. Found my new hotel for future business trips to the area!

Being attached to a casino in an suspect part of town, didn’t feel safe to leave my vehicle in the parking lot due to unsavory characters roaming the parking lot at night checking out cars, asking for money. Entire property smelled like smoke. After my business dealings in Tucson I felt unsafe leaving my vehicle so made the 5 hour drive home instead of staying. Not good.

One July Stay

We enjoyed our stay with easy access to the airport the following day. Ease of check in and check out early in the morning. The room location was quiet and was a short walk to the attached casino. Plenty of parking .

No microwave unable to reheat any leftovers so had to leave food. We had children and it was such a waste to not be able to reheat their food or snack. No selection close by for food. The food at the casino was not good as well.
