I had the sweet younger woman write her name down along with the other and I misplaced it. Their names both began with D's (almost positive). Lovely to deal with at the front desk. If I were to visit Tucson again this is where I'd stay. The property is beautiful. Very nice buffet breakfast for a fee and some of the best food I've had in a long time at the Cielos restaurant
