Cigarette smoke smell--even in the rooms--cold shower
Although the staff was very nice and the hotel looked nice overall, everything was lost in the smoke. When I first walked into the hotel I knew the cigarette smoke was a problem, but felt the rooms might be better. While the smell wasn't as bad in the rooms, it was still there. After the first night, my throat was raw. The Hotel sits right next to the airport, so there is a lot of airport noise. Finally, the second morning the shower water was warm at best. This was not a pleasant stay and I cannot recommend this hotel. I am still surprised at its 4 star rating!!

Excellent Overnight Stay
Stayed at the Desert Diamond because it was close to the airport and we had an early flight the next morning, and because of the casino. Room was spacious and clean. In fact the entire hotel was well taken care of, and the staff was friendly. Ate dinner at the buffet in the casino. Not as big as the buffets in Vegas, but a good selection of food. The prime rib melted in my mouth. The free breakfast in the lobby bar was good too. The casino has a wide variety of slots and video poker, and has table games too. At the end of the evening I had broken even, so no complaints here. All in all, a pretty good place to stay by the airport, especially if you like to do a little gambling.

Hotal and Entertainment
This was one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in. The staff went overboard to ensure we had what we needed. My wife noticed the bed sheets were ironed--what a treat! I needed to turn in a rental car the evening before we departed. It was raining extremely hard and the courtesy van came by,followed me to the rental car office and brought us back to the hotel. The driver was friendly and courtious--as was the entire hotel staff. Simply a great place to have fun and stay if your in Tucson.

Easy and relaxed
We were visiting friends in Tucson and doing a little gambling at the Casino..having a breakfast other than continental available would have been nice but it doesn't detract from the location and other amenities

Tuscon [*]
In the hood, far away which is ok because it seems secure but just an ugly casino. The rooms are clean and spacious loved the bathroom and the gym is great. didn't go into the pool but seemed nice. There are sketchy restuarants around the place and obviously in the wrong side of town. The bed was so uncomfortable but i may just be a bed snob as mine is high quality. The pillows where horrible. Not bad but overall a meh. expected more

Desert Diamond not 4 stars
This is not a 4 star hotel if that is what a seasoned traveler is looking for.More like a 2.5 to 3 star that gets better reviews because of room comps for return casino customers.The room was noisy,the smoke in a casino is to be expected but the ventilation here is poor. If you are a non-smoker it is best to bypass this experience.Overall it would have been better if the expectation for a 4 star hotel and resort was delivered. The word resort should not be used.
