Fodor's "It's now the center of Tucson's hippest scene and a great place to stay for younger or more adventurous visitors." Full review

The convenient location Downtown means it can be noisy, so make sure you don't get a room over the popular Club Congress unless you plan to be up until the wee hours.
Travel + Leisure "This refurbished 1919 hotel built for passengers of the Southern Pacific Line has basic rooms but an unbeatable downtown location." Full review
Rough Guide Star
"Central, bohemian hotel, a short walk from Amtrak and Greyhound, with vintage Art Deco furnishings."
Gayot "This is urban tourism, Tucson-style, at its most bohemian and funky, a classic experience."
Atlas Obscura "Sleep where gangsters fell amidst smoke and flame, with nary a bullethole to show for the legendary struggle. " Full review

Frommer's "Today, it operates as a budget hotel and youth hostel and attracts young globe-trotters." Full review

OysterUpper-middle-range
"The upper-middle-range Lodge on the Desert is a unique slice of Tucson, with a 75-plus-year history and an updated look that gives its historic rooms a modern feel." Full review
Lonely Planet "Rooms in this gracefully aging 1930s resort are in hacienda-style casitas flanked by cacti and palm trees, and decorated in charmingly modern Southwest style." Full review
Rough Guide "1930s adobe resort a couple of miles east of downtown, tastefully restored to resemble a Mexican hacienda, with large, comfortable rooms and a good restaurant."
Gayot "Mature palm trees tower over the swimming pool, and there are lovely views of the Catalina Mountains off to the north."
Jetsetter "Hacienda-style digs in historic Tucson with a pool, desert gardens and modern American eats." Full review
Frommer's "The relaxing retreat looks a bit like a Mexican village, with narrow pathways winding between buildings. Guest rooms are in both hacienda-style adobe buildings, tucked amid cacti and orange trees." Full review
