Best Hotels near Rillito Nursery & Garden Center, Casas Adobes

Really nice spot with very friendly staff, I love the swimming pools; not too crowded in the middle of the summer, and a great summer rate! Room was very spacious too. One of the pools was a nice, smaller pool down a path, and one was larger, adjacent to the mail area. There is also a lap pool which I did not go. I did not try the restaurant although it looked great. There was a nice little porch in front of the room too. I recommend this place.

This former Red Lion property is currently undergoing an extensive and complete renovation. The rooms on the top two floors are now complete. The ground floor rooms are currently being worked on. My one-bed room was renovated and SMALL (about 225 sq. ft.). Excellent blackout blinds, good TV and a LARGE shower (no tub). Air conditioning was ”governed”, so it could not be set below 71 F, however, the room seemed much cooler than that, even on a 107 F day. The room is not yet perfectly finished with all the little touches, but I'm guessing that will. happen in the next 12 months. SURPRISINGLY, my motel room did NOT have a telephone. When I asked at the front desk, they explained that my room was a rare exception, in that a telephone line has not yet been installed. My particular room was acceptable for a budget-minded couple. The courtyard, however, was lovely with a good-sized pool, hot tub, and five hole putting green. The staff was very nice, but was a little lazy, in my opinion. It was obvious the exterior stairs had NOT been swept in several days. With four people at the front desk, certainly one of them could have grabbed a broom and swept for 45 minutes. My Expedia rate was US$ 70 plus a US$ 4.00 ”Property Fee”. I would consider this property again for a solo trip.

Overall decent experience. We chose them because of location and dog friendly. Room clean and bed comfortable. We could get HBO which was nice. Pool and spa were clean and heated well. We had a courtyard room and it was quiet overall. The breakfast buffet was a step above the usual hard boiled egg make your own waffle type mid price hotel offering, and we enjoyed it very much. Gringo Grill was mediocre; I think tourists who don’t know about the amazing Mexican food restaurants Tucson has to offer won’t know the difference. We came in kind of tired and so thought, based on the website claims that you have to make reservations to eat here because it was so in demand, it would be great but weren’t that impressed. Our server seemed confused as to where she could find a bowl of water for our dog, which didn’t feel very dog friendly. She also told us that most people don’t eat on the patio when the view there is really nice. Don’t know what that was all about. She was very young. No pool towels available both days, and we were there in the mid morning — not really at a time when there was anyone there at all. No dog waste bags in the courtyard dispenser the three days and two nights we stayed. Several plugs in room 112 don’t work. We plugged in phone charger and some outlets were too big for our up to date technology. Otherwise we had a nice time and really, these were all first world problems. It was a good room for the price.

Very nice hotel . Rooms were comfortable and spacious , friendly hote staff.

My wife and I stayed eight nights at this property. Here is a summary of the pros and cons: Pros: Check-in was efficient Very comfortable king bed Breakfast is commensurate with other Homewood Suites we have stayed (typical breakfast consists of fresh fruit salad, breakfast potatoes, omelet, sausage links, pastries, waffles or oatmeal, and juices/coffee) Heated salt water pool was clean and enjoyable to use Hot tub adjacent to the pool was clean and enjoyable to use Two gas grills are in good repair; I grilled ribeye steaks one evening – turned out great! Two-burner stovetop allowed us to cook three meals in the room (burners are small, so you need to keep rotating food from edges of pan to center and vice versa) Housekeeping service, offered every four days at present time due to covid precautions, was thorough Onsite laundry facilities worked well ($1.75 per load in washer and $1.75 per load in dryer) Cons: We reserved a pool overview room, but none where available at check-in, then we were given a ‘mountain view’ facing to the east (the mountains are to the north) The evening social is only offered on Wednesdays – not necessarily a true con, but something to be aware of when you are used to Homewood Suites in Ohio/Tennessee/Kentucky/Indiana/Iowa that provide the evening social Mon-Thurs; the Wednesday evening social consisted of the following choices: a cabernet or chardonnay wine, Dos Equis or Coors Light beer, fresh carrots/broccoli/cucumber slices and ranch dressing, a mixed green salad, minestrone soup, and bread sticks Upon checking into the room, we found the dishwasher filled with dirty dishes We didn’t hear any noise from the breezeway or our adjoining suite; however, the noise from the suite directly above ours was vivid – guests simply walking in the suite above our created ‘trembling’ in our walls Bathroom shower grout was cracked and in quite bad repair (see photos)

The hotel is OK, Facilities: General, air conditioning is too noisy, spring bed is not good to sleep, pillows are not good, bathroom can also Breakfast is good, American breakfast, a lot of varieties, OK.

Let me preface this with the fact that we almost always stay at a Holiday Inn Express when we take a couple day trip. It’s reliable, affordable, and has free breakfast. I arrived at this HIE expecting the same thing. When I checked in, I was informed that there was a possibility of no hot water for showers. I asked when they knew about this issue and they said two days ago. A repair was not going to happen until three days later. In other words, they knew about this and waited to tell me as I checked in which is very shady. I asked for a discount and they said they couldn’t authorize that. At this point, I had just flown 4 1/2 hours and then drove 2 hours and hiked the other part of the day. I had no energy to find another hotel room during spring break so we ended up staying. And as promised, in the morning, there was no hot water for our showers. It’s one thing to have issues like this and let me know in advance. I could have changed my reservation to a different HIE. But waiting till I got there to tell me made me feel trapped. As a side note, one of my favorite things about the HIE express stay is the pancake machine and even that was broken. Breakfast was odd too with no eggs and a variety of other odd offerings. On the good side, they had the best cinnamon rolls I have ever had there and the place was very clean.
