Hotel McCoy Tucson - Art, Coffee, Beer, Wine
This stay was super disappointing. Property made it right and refunded me but my room was infested with termites. Dirt clumps were falling on the bed it was so bad. Would never stay here again.

Casino Del Sol Resort
Outdoor pool area was great/clean. Fire pits were an excellent touch. My only knocks would be that they don’t let you bring drinks from the hotel bar to the casino even though the two are roughly 100’ apart and the casino is smokey. I didn’t think the hotel was, but the casino has a stale smoke smell ...

The Alice Hotel
Yes, air conditioning was awesome, didn't have to use till the morning. I loved the newly renovated shower. Room was a little small but it was cozy. Look forward to staying again on another time.
