Hilton reservations are horrible!!! They are rude and unhelpful, and they don’t speak English. I asked to speak to the hotel front desk and they hung up on me, twice. They charge for parking, no ice machines. The food we ordered from the restaurant was horrible. When you exit the elevator to go to the restaurant it smells like a mens locker room. Save your money and stay at a motel 6, or sleep in your vehicle and use the money you saved to get a massage.

Clean, comfortable, quiet, and uniquely decorated rooms. Terrific staff! I’d been thinking of moving back to Tucson and booked The Graduate for an overnight trip. During my stay, it was really hot outside and I was grateful for the clean, comfortable room and the Moonstone restaurant on the top floor. It made for a very nice experience!

We stayed here for the location -on UofA campus. The staff were very friendly and the rooms were clean. There is only one water refilling station in the gym, and if you want ice you have to call the desk to have it delivered, which isn’t a big deal except it took some time. The biggest complaint we had was trying to sleep. The air conditioner is really loud. It woke me up each time it turned on. The beds were kinda hard, and the pillows were really flat.

A great hotel, with a fabulous roof top pool. Rooms were modern, spacious and clean. The area surrounding the hotel felt safe. The only thing I think the hotel could improve on is to provide service and cleaning of the pool area. Over the 3 times we used the pool, there was glasses and rubbish on the floor that stayed there for the 3 days we used the pool. No bar service and no cleaning of the pool area. There waas plenty of fresh towels each day but they should carry out a regualr clean. Apart from the pool area, the staff were fabulous and service great.

Nice location. Valet prompt. Cute decor, but repairs made in our room bathroom on the walls, 1000, were of very poor quality. The pool could use some umbrellas, no shade up there guys.

Extremely disappointed. I am a resident of Tucson and booked a night at this hotel only as a staycation to celebrate a special occasion. My intention was to spend most of my stay relaxing at the pool and enjoying the view. This hotel wasn’t cheap and cost more than I wanted to spend, but I specifically chose this hotel because the website said there would be a heated pool that was open until 10 PM. When I first checked into the hotel, the receptionist that checked me in said that the pool is only open until 9 PM. I mentioned that the website says 10 PM and he said “it must be a misprint.” This was very frustrating because I already thought 10 PM is extremely early to close a pool at a hotel, so finding out that it closed even earlier than that was really disappointing. Then after I went to my room and changed into my bath suit, I went down to the pool and there was zero available seating. They had seating at the pool for only about 12 people and every single chair was taken. I decided to get some food at the restaurant while I waited for a spot to open up and the service was lacking. The server was nice and attentive and the food was delicious, but I ordered an appetizer that I specifically asked to come out before the entrees and it came out AFTER the entrees! Then I received a glass of wine that had food chunks floating in it and had to ask the bartender for a new one. Yuck. After eating, there was finally seating available at the pool, so I chose a spot and was excited to

Very nice stay with the family. Great location, rooftop pool and bar are brilliant. Only offer valet parking which is a bit of a pain with all the other car lines up out front. Difficult when you need to unload multiple bags in the street and carry in. Minor inconvenience and would book again when in town.
