We stay here frequently. It’s one of my favorite spots because it is centrally located in Tucson, unlike many of the resorts that are quite a drive into Tucson. The restaurant is lovely although they have discontinued their included breakfast each day. It is still a nice buffet breakfast. I’m sure we will be back soon.

Super cute cozy hotel. Out stay was amazing, especially when you visit town to see family and can take your dogs along. Feels like home. It’s like an hacienda vibe with beautiful landscaping. Thai is my 3rd time staying there and I will 100% go back.
