Clean, great food, amazing service! The spa could definitely use some updates and the technicians are not the best but other than that we had a great time.

Lodge on the Desert
Room was clean and comfy, staff are very pleasant and helpful, architecture is welcoming (Spanish colonial or maybe Mediterranean?). The pool and hot tub are crystal clear and warm even in cool late October. This is becoming our favorite place to stay in Tucson.
