I love the southwest feel of the property and attached restaurant, but the room lightswitch and lack of outlets situation was a bit odd. Our bathroom window is in the neighboring tenants' patio area, so late night drinkers knocked as we were settling in.

Such a charming, welcoming place! The in-room fireplace was wonderful, as was the breakfast buffet. The room decor was so appropriate. The shower was fantastic! Clearly, the entire property was somewhat dated, but that just enhanced the pleasantness of my stay. I hope to return next time I'm in Tucson. It suggested the luxury of a bygone era.
