Per WorldMark, this resort features…read morePueblo revival architecture that settles into the surrounding area, and nearby historic and cultural attractions welcome desert adventurers." We stayed here for one week in a spacious and well-equipped two-bedroom unit. Temperature highs were mostly in the 60s and low 70s, making it easy to enjoy the attractions of the Tucson area as well as the resort's outdoor amenities. Grocery stores, restaurants, and shopping are also within a few miles. Location. The resort is in a very quiet location but is convenient to most anything that you might want or need in the area. My husband and I loved the vibe of the area, with wide slow-moving double-laned streets, bike lanes, and many sidewalks, which encourage a lot of the locals to be out walking and biking. We regularly used the resort pool and spacious jacuzzi tub, and walked some of the nearby Virtoso Trails Nature Preserve trails, as well as those of Honeybee Canyon Park, both of which in the Oro Valley and close to the resort. There were stunning sunsets viewable from the resort on most nights. We also used the resort as our base for exploring the Tucson environment -- a drive up to Mt Lemmon/the Coronado National Forest/Catalina State Park; Sabino Recreation Area; both the eastern and western units of Saguaro National Park; Casa Grande Ruins National Monument,, and more. The unit. Our two-bedroom unit was very comfortable, and well-appointed. Six people could stay here comfortably. There was a huge bed in the main bedroom, twin beds in the second bedroom, and a large Murphy bed near the dining table. The kitchen was full-sized and stocked with everything you might need -- fridge/freezer, range/oven, dishwasher, pots/pans, plates/bowls/cups/glasses/knives/utensils, cabinet space for groceries, and even commonly-used spices. Other great features in the unit included a cozy electric fireplace, a patio that had a small table/chairs and a grill and a combo washer/dryer (and starter laundry detergent) in the unit. Communications were excellent, at check-in and in a follow-up phone call to see if we needed anything. Parking was free and directly outside of our unit. Critters. Upon check-in, we were given a handout to remind us that the resort is located in the Sonoran Desert, which is home to many desert critters -- rattlesnakes, javelina, coyote, scorpions & tarantulas, and bobcats. In addition to basic information about the wildlife, the resort provided information about urgent care resources in the area. We're happy to report that we didn't see any poisonous or dangerous creatures, whether on-site or in hiking in Honey Bee, the Sequoga National Park, or the Mt. Lemmon trails. (We did see a coyote in a Phoenix park though). A few minor things worth mentioning. *This resort charges an occupancy tax, which was disclosed at the time of reservation. The tax was $50+ for the week. *When we logged-on to Wi-Fi in the room, we were met by a screen that informed us that Wi-Fi would cost $49.95 for 3 devices for 10 days or $69.95 for 6 devices. Surprised by these charges, my husband called the resort, and were pleasantly surprised when we were given a code that erased the charges. *Some gold crown resorts have jacuzzis in the unit; this one does not. *The tv in the living room is small, but appropriately-sized for its current location. *It'd probably time to upgrade the couches. We alternatively sunk into the cushions or were sliding off. We would definitely stay here again when we return to the Tucson area.

Located in the beautiful Oro Valley, just outside of Tucson. We stayed in a studio for three nights…read morein early August, and since it wasn't too busy, the atmosphere was calm and relaxing. Check-in was smooth, and every staff member we encountered was warm and welcoming. The property has a lot to enjoy--especially the pool area with incredible sunset views. The hot tubs tucked around the resort were also a favorite spot to unwind. We appreciated having nearby grocery stores where we stocked up on food, including steaks for the patio BBQ. Our room itself was comfortable, though the view from our patio was a bit underwhelming, facing the street and neighboring houses. Still, the overall setting of Oro Valley made up for it--the area is clean, scenic, and filled with great dining options, plus plenty of walking and hiking trails to explore. Overall, it's a peaceful getaway spot with beautiful surroundings, friendly service, and relaxing amenities.

I only live about 3 miles north of this property and had no clue there was anything like this nearby. There is no shortage of space for meetings and conversations to happen.

You can't beat the price at this hotel, especially in this desirable north Oracle location. I have…read morestayed here twice. It is an older hotel that has been remodeled with rather energizing contemporary wall paper, and since it is older the rooms are large. I liked having both a mini fridge and microwave as well as dimmable lighting, lots of USB ports and a timer on the fan. The beds were comfortable both times that I stayed here and everything was clean.The fitness room is excellent with a professional multi machine, smith machine, free weights and both a curl bar and a straight bar, dumbbells, 3 tread mills, a bike, Pilates ball, mats, some bottled water. If you are a serious lifter, you will like this. Both mornings that I worked out in the gym, the pool maintenance man was fastidiously cleaning the pool, and it and the hot tub were sparkling. There is a putting green and covered BBQ area though I didn't use those. I did try to swim in January and though it is heated it was still too cold for me, but I was trying to swim at 8 am and if the sun was up, it would probably be OK. There are a few things to consider when staying here and these are probably the reasons for the lower ratings from others: the walkways and curbs to the parking are a bit uneven, they do a good job painting bright yellow on all curbs, but you still need to be looking down to make sure you do not stumble. The traffic noise on nearly Oracle road will keep you up at night unless you have really good earplugs. I actually wore Bose noise cancelling earplugs and this worked great to cut the noise. There is also only one elevator for the 3 story structure so if mobility is an issue for you, you may want to try another place or get a ground floor unit. Overall, if you want a good price for a clean hotel in this location and come prepared for the noise, you may also like this place.

If you are looking for a clean flop house this is it. If you are looking for a quality vacation forget it. The neighbors would idle their motorcycles for 30 minutes at 5am before they would take off. One neighbor would bring home his refer semi truck home for lunch and leave both running which were extremely loud and obnoxious. I was awakened once by rap music at 3am! Twice my apartment was entered without my permission during my one month stay. Couch was very uncomfortable and gave me a back ache. The appliances were purchased 2nd hand or were the cheapest I have ever seen. The refrigerator, washer and dryer were extremely loud. The stove top was almost unusable because the burners would not lay flat. The one owner, Cindy, was extremely combative and not understanding about any sort of complaint and loved to chortle that, "We are owners and are very proud of the 6 units we built." Well, the pride certainly didn't extend to the cut rate furnishings in the apartment and the non gracious, belligerent attitude!
