The hotel is really unique with a cowboy motif and rooms. Service was just excellent. Really attentive to guests. Valet team was also quick and safe. Swimming pool was awesome. It got crowded and the layout space was a little bit cramped. Another attribute is location location location . Right downtown and next to the U. The king sized was very comfortable as were the pillows. Bedding was very clean. It was dusty but that was OK. We wiped things down once and it was all good. My wife and I loved the Moonstone restaurant. Tucson is really a foodie town (Check out Snoozers for brunch) and they do a great job. The view is to die for! Killer sunsets every night. Overall it’s a really nice stay and we enjoyed ourselves very very much. We will return for sure
