Clarion Inn Tucson

We were very disappointed with the overall condition of this hotel. We realized as we pulled up that we made a mistake. It looks like it was built in the 60s and very few upgrades appear to have been done to it since. This is definitely ro a 3 star hotel and probably should be rated around 1 1/2 stars. The staff was good but the location and hotel itself ws below parin our opinion. I always has a positive vibe about Clarions, but that has now dropped a level.

Unexpectedly nice stay near downtown Tucson

We were a bit on alert after reading a bunch of negative reviews, so it was a pleasant surprise to enter the place and stay there. The room was spacious and very clean (including the bedclothes). It was well maintained by the cleaning personnel. All equipment has worked in the room - from TV to wi-fi to coffee-maker. The reception people were reasonably efficient. This motel does not have large parking but it was not too crowded and we used it to park our car.

There is a Kettle diner next to the Clarion, which is quite decent and open 24 hours.

Disappointed

Exterior parking and landscape pitiful. One middle age couple drove in with us, looked around, and drove off. We paid you $60.00 for one night. A sign in front of the hotel said $45.99. I asked the desk to honor that rate and she sign the sign was a mistake and should have been removed. I paid $60. The next day the sign was still present @$45.99.

Great getaway for couples

My love and I went to Tucson because I surprised him with a night out with dinner, the show Fiddler on the Roof and an evening at a hotel. [...]. When we checked in the front desk staff was friendly, quick and efficient. The room was fantastic for the price. Nice bed with lots of pillows, large bathroom, all clean and comfortable. Hot water for bath. We didn't exactly know where to have dinner so we asked the desk clerk for a recommendation and the restaurant she recommended had wonderful food and reasonable prices. The manager told us how to get to the theater and his directions were so easy.We had a wonderful stay and a great evening in Tucson and when we return we will definitely be staying at La Quinta Inn in Downtown Tucson. I would recommend this hotel.

The restaurant Las Cazuelitas is about a mile from the hotel and the food is fantastic. It is the best Mexican food I have ever had. The staff is attentive and the prices are reasonable.

Good value

This place is a good value for an economy hotel. It was very quiet. The breakfast included waffles, fruit, yogurt, pastries, juice, coffee. The room was clean, furnishings were decent.

Good Experience

I was in Tucson, AZ looking at the UofA with our daughter as she is looking to attend next year. Although the hotel was older it was very clean and well kept. It was central to what we needed not knowing the area that well and the staff was friendly and helpful.
