Top Science Downtown Hotel Reviews

Hotel McCoy Tucson - Art, Coffee, Beer, Wine

10/10 Excellent

"Highly recommended "

The Blenman House Inn

8/10 Good

"All staff were really nice, especially Amy, who gave us a tour of the property at check in. Light breakfast provided was just what we needed to start our day for more exploring/hiking of nearby Saguaro National parks. The rooms are very nice and seem more old world/European. A few things to keep in mind: room we had was on the dark side with no overhead lights and high ceilings, there is no separate room control for AC and house is zoned off in sections, if you want to outdoor hot tub it will take 45-60 minutes to warm up. Otherwise, very interesting place to book that is a break from the norm and is right near many restaurants and touristy areas. "

Graduate by Hilton Tucson

8/10 Good

"The room was clean, but incredibly small as we struggled to find space for our luggage. Staff was friendly and helpful. Parking was an extra cost ($37 per night plus tips for valets), but allowed unlimited in and out privledges. We were a little frustrated with the pool as there was no key required to get in. Many university students came in to enjoy the pool and rooftop and there originally wasn't any space/chairs for us as paying guest. The bartender continued to let them in and out of the pool and restaurant. This was frustrating given what we paid to stay. The location was right next to campus, so local restaurants and bars were often packed with students. We ended up driving downtown or elsewhere to dine. "
