3 Palms Tucson North Foothills
Nice hotel. The staff were warm and welcoming. Lovely grounds. The room was comfortable and the location was perfect. My first room was not cleaned properly. They were very apologetic and moved me immediately. The second room was lovely. All expectations were met. I would stay here again.
