This hotel stands out for its service. I was here for six nights, including a conference plus two additional nights to.focus on a writing project. As it turned out, I kept coming back for supper at the Saguaro Grill because the food was delicious (not typical for a hotel restaurant) and my wonderful server, Juliet, made me feel welcome every time. Service at the breakfast buffet and the front desk was also excellent, as was the housekeeping service provided by Mira. While it's true that the paint in my bathroom had a chip or two, the room in general was spacious, well- designed and quiet, with a view of the mountains.

“Clean, fancy hotel in loud neighborhood”

Clean, recently renovated hotel, convenient to the light rail and the University. Our room on the 7th floor had a lot of street noise until 1am from the neighborhood's bars. The free-to-use guest laundry room was extremely convenient, and let us pack light and wash clothes half-way through the tr… more

“Great Hotel, Ideal Location, but Don’t Use Valet”

BLUF - This is a hotel I would stay in again when traveling to Tucson, but I wouldn’t use the valet parking (so slow).

BLUF - This is a hotel I would stay in again when traveling to Tucson, but I wouldn’t use the valet parking (so slow). The Marriott is right on the edge of the campus, so it’s near a lot of good places to eat and drink. I also enjoyed the proximity for morning and evening walks. The gym is great, with all the equipment you’d need, including some equipment you don’t find at a hotel gym. The room was large, with a small balcony and a view of the mountains to the west. The room was clean with comfortable beds, desk and chair, and a longing chair in the corner. The lounge had a very good breakfast with plenty of food options, including a great selection of fresh fruit. The only knock I have is the valet - maybe consider staffing better in the mornings, with the rush of people leaving. Waiting 20 minutes to get your car seems a bit excessive. I will definitely not use valet next time. I’ll just do self-park and save a few bucks, not to mention saving a lot of time each morning.

“Do Breakfast somewhere else.”

This hotel was OK and pretty much on U of A. So the location was great if you were going to a U of A event. We went to the Book Festival which was on the U of A Campus. The breakfast was absolutely HORRIBLE. They had a sign that said it was $18. First, we wanted made to order omlets, but the g… more

This hotel was OK and pretty much on U of A. So the location was great if you were going to a U of A event. We went to the Book Festival which was on the U of A Campus. The breakfast was absolutely HORRIBLE. They had a sign that said it was $18. First, we wanted made to order omlets, but the guy at the omlet station said we would need to order from the server. We sat down, no server. So we decided on the buffet scrambled eggs. They were cold, and didn't taste like real eggs, they tasted like powered eggs. The sausage was also cold. There was no server so in the end we didn't have to pay, anyhow. The second day we went to the Black Bear diner right down the street for breakfast. That place was great, the service was great and the food was hot. Now onto the room. We are Marroitt Platnum and we got upgraded. We got to the room, we thought, "this is an upgraded room?" We have had bigger and better rooms when renting a regular room at the Fairfield Inn. It had two queen beds, a TV and a computer desk. There was also a chair and a really small table in the corner of the room and it was in the corner where you couldn't see the TV if someone was sitting at the comptuer desk. The room was fine, it was clean but not what I expected for an "upgraded" room. It does have valet parking. Those people were really nice. But we only had to deal with them on check in and check out. We went for the Book Festival, which was walking distance, so we never used our car during our stay.
