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.

Our room was extremely clean, the bed was comfortable, and the air conditioner was wonderfully cold--which is very important in Arizona! The pool and jacuzzi were both clean, and whenever we went swimming, there were only two or three other people there. That may have been due to the times we chose, but it made for a peaceful and relaxing experience. The front-desk staff was extremely friendly and even laughed at all our jokes, which we greatly appreciated! Our only issue occurred on our final night, when the elevator was out of order. Since we were on the third floor, carrying everything downstairs was a little rough because we're old...but we survived! Overall, we had a comfortable and enjoyable stay and would definitely recommend Three Palms. Great staycation from Grant and Alvernon where we're from.

And before arrival, I'm crossing all of my fingers that everything goes well. What a shock to find out this place is FABULOUS!! My one bedroom suite was located on the third floor next to the stairs, but after a very long day of driving, I'm happy to make the track up a few flights. Yes there is an elevator nearby too. The decor was not your standard hotel room style, but that just added to the charm. The mini kitchen worked out just fine although I had to laugh at some of the cabinets that were glued shut. So why four stars instead of five? While not a dealbreaker, the wall unit AC worked great, but was only in the living room. The thermostat itself was in the bedroom with no air-conditioning unit. So that means sleeping with the bedroom wide open and the AC cranked to the max. Strange! Our room was super quiet during the night and very comfortable. I loved the resort style courtyard, which was full of fun-loving travelers and families throughout the evening. I did not use the fitness facility, but it had a great view overlooking the pool area. There is also a covered picnic area with large gas grills available. In the morning, I enjoyed walking the grounds and looking at all the beautiful landscaping around this property. While you won't get free breakfast here, they do offer hot coffee and tea in the lobby. The coffee was quite good actually. At the insanely low price that I paid to stay here, I would absolutely not hesitate to return to this hotel in a heartbeat. My only regret is that I don't have longer to stay in the area and explore some of the hiking trails and beautiful parks that are nearby.

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!
