Tucked behind walls, Lodge on the Desert feels like a quiet secret. This was one of our "treat ourselves well" stops on a six-week road trip, and it delivered exactly that kind of exhale. The property opens up like a small Pueblo-style village. Earthy, warm, and unexpectedly lush. You step in from the street and suddenly everything slows down. Our corner, ground-level room was spacious and comfortable with high ceilings and room to actually live in, not just sleep. Large bathroom, walk-in shower, separate tub, and my personal love language: plenty of surface space to set things down without playing suitcase Tetris. Very clean, thoughtfully laid out. Our experience would a been a notch higher if: - they would supplied 2 robes instead of one which was soft and comfy - supply a few amenities like bottle water, hooks for your towels, and a bit brighter lamps. - comfortable patio furniture - my husband suggests a bit larger coffee mugs A small but brilliant detail, you can request room service simply by hanging a card on your door when you head out for the day. No apps, no calls, no chasing housekeeping. Every hotel should steal that idea. We had a generous private patio where I spent some quiet time meditating. It was peaceful, though a couple of cushions and a small table would make it feel more complete. Service was mostly warm and welcoming. The exception was the front desk, which carried a noticeable "going through the motions" energy. Not terrible, just not aligned with the rest of the experience. One modern touch we appreciated, gratuity via QR code. For those of us who rarely carry cash, it's simple and seamless. Dining at Cielos, right on the property, was a highlight. Thoughtful food, excellent cocktails, and the kind of flavors that make you pause mid-bite. The pool and hot tub area became a bit of a ritual for me. Two waterfalls spill into the pool, perfect for an impromptu neck and shoulder massage after long hikes. Overall, this place does what a good stop on the road should do. It holds you for a moment. Lets your tired body soften. Then sends you back out a little more restored than when you arrived. read more

I stayed here for a work event that we were hosting in the space and overall it was a pretty mixed experience The check-in was... OK. We'll say the agent was rude and definitely a bit green. I mentioned that we were there as part of a group and that I needed incidentals for multiple people in my group. She wasn't friendly and said you just need to work with the sales team. We shared this with the sales team and i wanted to verify on the day of arrival that it actually happened. I spent about five years working in the hotel industry front desk when I was an undergrad and it was surprising that it seems like there were just no notes for a diary between different staff & sales. The sales team was very friendly and supported us throughout the entire event. That was not a poor experience. read more

I paid a little extra for this hotel, thinking it would be a nicer place than the chain hotels we saw along the freeway, but it didn't really deliver what I was expecting and you have to drive pretty far from the freeway to get there. On the plus side, the on-site breakfast is excellent. The first thing I noticed when we got to this hotel was that the neighborhood is a touch rundown. It has a wall built around the perimeter, which is nice, but I wouldn't have picked it if I had known where it was. The hotel itself is sort of an adobe village style, with a somewhat confusing layout, but not unappealing. The room was clean, spacious, and had very high ceilings, which I imagine keeps it cool in hot weather. The service was inconsistent. We called the desk to ask for the wifi password but there was no answer. So we looked up the outside public number for the hotel and called that, thinking that their internal dedicated service might not be working, but there was no answer for that number either. We walked over to the front desk and the attendant just said she didn't see any problem with the phone. That seemed a bit indifferent to a problem we had just experienced. On the other hand, the waitress at the restaurant seemed fine. The best thing about the hotel is the breakfast -- a very nice buffet, with fresh muffins, eggs, bacon, etc. We were in a hurry to get back to driving so it was a big win that this excellent breakfast was right on the premises. read more

Lodge On The Desert - Casita Rooms - Hotels Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Beautiful grounds and kind staff. The common areas are very comfy and conducive for small gatherings. However, any beverages or light bites need to be picked up at the on-site restaraunt. Cielos. Which by the way is excellent! What wasn't too great was the cleanliness of the room. The tile floors were sticky and although the mattress was new and a pillow top, it was extremely firm and with an extremely thin mattress cover. We asked for additional blankets to pad the bed and that resolved the issue. read more

I left a review with my booking agent. Upon early check out (due to unsatisfactory amenities) the general manager was present and prepared to respond to my previously posted review. She did not make any effort to retain me as a return customer. She had a ready excuse for the complaints that were registered. I will not be a returning customer, and again, I am very disappointed with my stay at Lodge on the Desert. My chief complaints were: *the refrigerator was not working *the hotel phones were not operational *the pool was not heated (as advertised) it was not heated to 79° *the walkway from the parking lot was not well lit *the bar staff was selective about who they greeted and I was not selected ​ read more

For the price, the rooms are tiny! Not warm and cozy as their website depicts. AC ducts/filters haven't been cleaned in a while. Beds must be new because they are very firm. read more

This historic hotel was unique with modern amenities. We were assigned one of the original (aka older) casitas at the front of the property. The room was cozy with a neat functioning fireplace, which we did not use throughout our triple digit stay. Good AC and a ceiling fan were saviors though! There were ants in our bathroom and what was up with the sink that was at upper chest level? Our VIP Orbitz perk was a coupon for free chips and salsa and one drink up to $15, which depending on how you look at it could be marketing genius or a money grab, or both. If there's two of us, then we're probably going to order at least one more drink, and the fine print also made sure to say that gratuity was not included. The drinks were meh and I would be disappointed if I paid the $9 menu price for chips and salsa. Complimentary coffee in their cute reading room in the morning. Really nice pool and spa area. They also have a gym which I didn't check out at all. The microwave upon request and availability at no extra charge was welcome! Front desk service is snail paced slow. There's only one person handling the guests in front of her as well as answering phones. They sure take their time with each guest, which is nice if you're the guest they're assisting, not so much if you're the one(s) waiting. read more

i stayed overnight for a staycation with my sister, and our overall stay was unsatisfactory. The refrigerator or phone did not work in our room. On the website it stated that the pool was heated, but it was not. There was conflicting information about the complimentary drinks and breakfast options, and the general manager that we spoke with was not helpful or accommodating at all. I would not recommend this hotel for anyone, and upon addressing these issues with the general manager there was no satisfaction given or advised. She did nothing to ensure a return visit, and one will definitely not be forthcoming from me. read more

What a stunning and beautiful property in this desert oasis! We checked in late on New Year's Eve and they had a beautiful room for us! The on site restaurant was even serving dinner until 8pm! Our bedroom was nice and cozy with a beautiful view of foliage, just enough for privacy from walkway traffic! The shower amenities were incredible, so much that I'd be interested in purchasing them. The robes were extra soft and I even slept in mine! The staff was all very friendly and they are dog friendly and have a huge dog run area! We would definitely stay here again if we pass through this area. The only reason I deducted a star was because there were no USB charging outlets and we couldn't charge our phones or watches. Next time, we'll bring other cables. read more

The hotel is beautiful. The casitas are cozy and cute. Here are a few things I think they need to address: 1. The parking spot stripes need to be repainted 2. They have basic cable available on the tv. Now, we didn't come on this trip to sit in a hotel room to watch tv, but we were in our room Friday evening and this evening, Saturday. The basic cable is a drag. The TVs should all be updated to smart TVs so that the guests can watch what they want and not have to watch 30 year old tv shows for an hour before bed. The Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers playoff game is tonight, January 10. Of course it's being shown on Amazon Prime, which means we can't watch this game in our room because we can't just sign in to Prime and watch. I think the hotel could save some money in the long run by getting rid of cable and installing smart tvs. Sure, we could find a sports bar, but we're on a very quick and mildly stressful trip and have a long drive home ahead of us tomorrow. We don't want to go to a bar to watch the game. So just be aware that if you stay here you will not be able to watch anything on Netflix, Prime or other streaming services unless you've brought a tablet or laptop. 3. The breakfast buffet was not that great. Just your basic breakfast food, but it isn't a continental breakfast. You have to pay for this food. It was $40 for two of us to have breakfast this morning. It's convenient to have the onsite dining option available and if we weren't pressed for time we would have gone somewhere else. I'd much rather spend $20 on a breakfast somewhere I could get an omelette or waffles. 4. There is no coffee maker in the room. Instead they have an electric kettle and something called "steeped coffee". I'm not a fan of trying something new while on a trip or having to find a coffee shop somewhere. It'd be nice if there was a Keurig or similar type coffee maker in the room. The positives are that it's clean, quiet and seems to be very secure. The bed is comfortable. The grounds are beautiful. The bar is small but has a decent selection. The bartender that worked on Friday, 1/9/26, was very friendly and made us some good drinks. If the above-mentioned things might be an issue for you while traveling, and paying $350 for two nights then I can't recommend this hotel. If those sorts of things don't bother you then I think this hotel is perfectly fine. read more

This is a hidden jewel of Tucson. When my husband told me we were staying off of Alvernon in Tucson I was skeptical. Wow was i wrong! We grew up in Tucson Az. Went past this place many times but never knew what was behind the walls of this magical place. Pulled in aperance was like going into a small village in Mexico. Absolutely Beautiful! Checked in our room was on the second floor..oh my gosh the room was a old Spanish trail dream. Large room with a Spanish style fire place, balcony, king size bed, shower, jacuzzi and a private tolet. All decorated in a western southwest felt..warm and very inviting. Took a tour of the 5 acere property. Very lush green grass in the center court yard. A pool.with two water falls lounge chairs a fireplace and hot tub. The pool was heated for a chilli day. We visited the library with a fireplace and plenty of books and games to pass the time. Went on to the restaurant and bar. The food was excellent the bartender was friendly and very informative and treated us like family. I highly recommend this jewel for anyone wanting a quiet get away a wedding or anniversary. Maybe even a break from the world. What ever the case its so welcomed. We will be back. Thank you ! read more

I came back for a second visit and upgraded from a casita to a deluxe room. Big mistake. The casitas are lovely and although they are a bit dated, they are cute and comfortable. The deluxe room that I was given overlooked the parking lot and smelled like smoke. It also lacked the charm of the casita. Still, though, I do love this place. read more

Stayed 4 nights this trip... It's certainly helpful that I have a friend that lives in Tucson. Great locale again. This is located in the midtown area of town and pretty close to the U of A campus. My room had a king sized bed of course. Decent amount of storage, but no in room safe or microwave. A small little patio out back with 2 chairs so I could have my morning coffee. Downstairs has a restaurant called Cielos . That's open for breakfast/lunch & dinner. But they do close briefly between meals. Really dined in once for breakfast that has your standard hot/cold items. One can sit outside on their patio and have drinks by fireplace. When I made my reservation a few months back, actually added a fireplace for my room. Nice size pool and hot tub off of the front lobby area. Only downside of this hotel, at night the walkways should have better lighting. Yes I would stay at this one again. read more

Lodge On The Desert - Nice pool - Hotels Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

See all

I'm a big fan of this classic Tucson hotel. The hotel offers "deluxe" more modern rooms, but I love the casitas. The casitas are large rooms that feel more like apartments, with Saltillo tile, wood beam ceilings, a fireplace and many other cute Southwestern touches. My last room had a hammered copper sink that was gorgeous. The grounds of the hotel are nicely maintained with benches, cacti and small metal sculptures - nice ambience. Large walls surround the hotel, but right outside is a very busy street which can be noisy so ask for a room away from it. Lodge on the Desert offers a free breakfast with your stay so take advantage. It's fairly decent. They also seem to have a fair amount of specials going on throughout the year. I've stayed twice now when the room comes with free chips and salsa, margaritas, and paletas. (Mexican fruit popsicles) I believe they offer AAA rates as well, but you might have to call for those. I find myself choosing this hotel over the others when I return to Tucson. read more

Lodge On The Desert - Room entrance with outdoor, private seating. - Hotels Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

We had a large room, no real sitting area... just a large bedroom. The empty space just inside the entry door makes me believe that at one time, there was furniture for seating in a square, but is just an empty void. Good WiFi, but absolutely no USB ports anywhere in the room. Fireplace in the corner, hot enough to drive us out from under the covers on the chilly night we stayed there. Amazing jacuzzi tub, large bathroom with separate shower and enclosed lavatory. Huge counter with double sinks. Room had an odd odor to it, almost like some sort of cooking smells, like a stale garlic-onion odor and some spice I couldn't name. Our room was right on the boundary of the restaurant, but we weren't able to get rid of it. Very nice layout of the facilities. Only drawback was that overnight guest parking was on the left of registrations and parking (where our room was located) was intended for restaurant patrons. We parked there overnight, as there are no baggage carts and carrying suitcases just wasn't possible. Found that someone backed into my left rear bumper, damaging the paint. Good coffee available in the morning. read more

Lodge On The Desert - Hotels Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Lodge on the Desert. Extremely friendly staff at the front desk, including Katelyn who enthusiastically shared the history of the hotel including showing us a binder of historical brochures and pictures. She told us that John Wayne used to stay there! The room was clean and large. No view, but it did have sliders so we could sit outdoors. One of the lights in the bathroom was out and when we told the front desk the facilities person came to fix it within minutes! There was some confusion about breakfast - apparently they used to have breakfast included for all who stay there, but now it is only for people who reserved before January 1st. So just be aware of that. We had dinner down the street at Locale Italian which was great, and they serve breakfast as well so if you dont have breakfast included at the Lodge you can go there. I would definitely stay there again, and next time stay longer so I could enjoy the beautiful pool area! read more

We woke up at three in the morning itchy. When we turn on the lights to take a look we had bites all over our bodies. We start looking on the beds and we found bedbugs. We did inform the front office. They moved us to another room, but we were still paranoid and didn't sleep all night. They did tell us that they were gonna give us both nights for free and end up charging us for one night. I've been trying to reach the manager for two weeks and he's been avoiding me Every time I call they tell me that he's busy. Very bad service read more

OVERALL The Lodge on the Desert is a 3-star hotel in the heart of Tucson. It's not my favorite place to lay my head in this desert city, however, my daughters and I did have a good experience overall here on November 20, 2021. ENVIRONMENT The hacienda charm at Lodge on the Desert is what originally lured me in. That and it was a place I had never before stayed there. In late October I reserved a room online because I couldn't get through on the phone to ask a few questions. For a deluxe double queen with a 10% AAA membership discount, I was charged $214.77 for one night. The rates were highest that weekend than any other I guess because it was just before Thanksgiving. SERVICE The receptionists were very friendly and welcoming. MY FAVORITE PART... The heated pool! What a nice nighttime retreat after an 8-hour drive. NOT SO FAVORITE PART... We were in room #227 and I could hear our next door neighbors fairly easily through the walls. I kicked on the air and that helped to drown them out. So glad I didn't have to use my silicone ear plugs. THE AMENITIES + Dog are welcome, but there is a non-refundable $50 fee per dog per night + Complimentary breakfast at Cielo's + Casita rooms and modern Deluxe rooms + Heated pool and whirlpool spa + Gift shop + Same-day laundry service Monday through Saturday + Free onsite parking + Free wireless Wi-Fi access PARKING Parking is plentiful and free. They'll ask which vehicle you drive and that's it. There are many transients and homeless folks roaming the area. The Lodge is surrounded by tall walls which might give you a greater sense of security. TIPS +Definitely check out Cielo's for drinks or dinner if you do not peruse the complimentary breakfast voucher. Request drinks for the pool & spa! + Your credit card will be charged a temporary $100 deposit fee. | Rooms: 4 | Service: 5 | Environment: 4 | Price: 4 | read more

We arrived after midnight and Pat, the Security showed us to our room quickly and kindly. Our 3-nite, 2-day stay was fantastic. The front desk personnel were kind and helpful, housekeeping was lovely, polite and provided additional linens immediately upon our asking. The beds and pillows were very comfortable and the shower was recently updated; we loved the shampoo, conditioner, soap and lotions installed throughout the bathroom, so convenient and families are so appreciative of those amenities! The swimming pool and guest towels were the cherry on top! Pool is clean, towels are fluffy, area is pristine and provides umbrellas for shade. The flowers, bushes, trees and cacti around the property are gorgeous and well-cared for... as are the natural lizards and birds, just beautiful! This property is perfect for anyone traveling through Tucson for business or pleasure. read more

Lodge on the Desert is a classic Tucson hacienda with beautiful meandering cactus gardens, a lush pool that Is well shaded for a perfect summer swim out of the heat. The rooms are very large and historically decorated, though the baths are tiny, as was the style many years ago. Ask for a quiet room away from Alvernon road as the doors are a bit drafty and you may have road noise. We were in the back and it was very quiet, though the neighbor's smoking (which is not allowed) drifted into our room. He stoped when we confronted him and also told the front deck. A hot, plated breakfast is included. It is not a buffet, but a choice of two selections and comes with fruit and muffins. The cafe has a lot of different seating options from fully outside, to covered patio, bar, and indoor restaurant. We booked the Summer special package rate which included two fruit paletas which had juicy chunks of fruit, and two margaritas with chips and salsa. The salsa was homemade and the chips tasted freshly fried and were seasoned with a chili mix. We asked for skinny margaritas and they were very flavorful, not watered down to make them 'skinny.' We added a side of guacamole which was very good and also interesting as it had corn mixed in and was served in an avocado shell. Unlike some previous reviews, we thought the guacamole was of ample size. read more

Great look and feel of a traditional southwestern lodge. Beautifully built and a visual spectrum of cacti flowers and more. Family friendly and nice breakfast buffet. Room was clean and very cozy. The one issue was wifi-access. I tried the wifi all over the hotel and could not connect using the pass code given. When I asked about it. I was offered another room. Which was a nice gesture but we had just unpacked and was staying only one night. Besides how would another room correct the wifi if it didn't work in the lobby or restaurant or pool. Other than that everything was awesome. Great staff and friendly. Upgrade the wifi...we might come back. read more

I have driven by the Lodge so many times over the years, wondering what was behind the walls. Now I know, an absolute GEM of a rustic, warm and comfortable lodge/hotel. We decided on a little staycation this past weekend here booking a double fireside casita room. We could not have been happier with our stay. The staff were all incredibly friendly, helpful and nice from check in to departure. You feel as though you are away on a retreat almost and can't hear any of the traffic from being right in the middle of town! The grounds are absolutely beautiful and clean. There is a pool and hot tub, although we had forgotten our suits, so did not try. Our room was spacious and comfortable. Sleep quality excellent. I am happy we splurged for the bigger room. They did offer a free breakfast to overnight guests at Cielo's. I was not sure what to expect - they bring juice and/or coffee and a little plate with fresh muffins and fruit. You then have your choice between two 'daily' breakfast options - we had scrambled eggs/sausage and a slice of a french toast bake. A bit surprised by the less than stellar reviews. read more

If you want to be close to the campus and the better spots in Tucson, this is a great choice. We have stayed all over and last weekend tried the Lodge. Intimate and small, but such a great staff led by Christina. Friendly staff alL the way across. We were lucky enough to grab 108... which was huge. But our first room was 167 and really nice as well. Fireplace, great beds and amenities. The grounds are so cool with pieces of art all over. With little nooks to have a coffee or glass of wine all by yourself. The restaurant is Cielos. Breakfast to start your day and a great happy hour to begin your evening. And lunch and dinner if you never want to leave and with the pool and jacuzzi, you may never need to leave. Loved our time here. Thanks to all the staff who helped us!!! read more

Lodge On The Desert - A nice happy hour... - Hotels Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Lodge on The Desert is a solid three star hotel with a few things that occasionally make it feel closer to four stars. The property itself is beautiful. It's older which means the landscaping is mature, plentiful and around the entire grounds. It's also clearly taken care of with plants and trees carefully trimmed to stay off of guests paths and to create maximum atmosphere. Stays include a breakfast which includes fruit, a muffin, coffee and one of two hot items. I ate there twice and the hot items were the same both days. Ice is located in six chest freezers around the property which is convenient to grab a bag and go. Things start to fall down in the rooms. My room was near the Cielos archway, close to Alvernon (noisy) and lacked sufficient natural light. One of the days I was there, a gentlemen was cutting tile which was a strong incentive to go do something somewhere else. My room was older and in desperate need of either an update or at least a refresh. If rooms look dated and unkept, they also look dirty whether or not they are. The room was generally clean although I wouldn't say it was extremely clean and probably not enough clean enough to justify the "Columbia Cleaning" documentation in the lobby that is intended to make guests feel at ease. My room had a robe which I quite enjoyed and wore throughout my stay. Parking is plentiful and the little alcoves to make the rooms feel slightly more private even though you're still quite aware of people around you. This property has a lot of potential but the rooms need some serious TLC. read more

This place is a Tucson gem! My husband treated me to a "staycation" here and we had a wonderful time. We will definitely be back. The property is beautiful. Well maintained, with classic southwestern style architecture and excellent landscaping. The lobby--or Hacienda--is welcoming and overlooks the pool. It has a small gift shop, a seating area, and a room in the back with computer access. We were very satisfied with our room--one of the newer ones. Beautiful high ceilings, a fireplace, a small balcony, and a gorgeous bathroom. Plus the beds are very comfortable! We had dinner at the restaurant and it was truly top notch. As a guest, you also get a complimentary breakfast buffet, which was an excellent amenity. Our favorite part of the hotel though was the pool. It's saltwater and feels so nice on your skin. The hot tub was the perfect temperature. And since the pool is open 24 hours, you can enjoy it any time. So relaxing. I cannot day enough good things about this place. It is really wonderful and I couldn't recommend it highly enough! read more

I stayed at this resort on Saturday, November 18th in Room 156. I must say that I expected much more for a room And resort that I paid $408 for after fees and taxes. 1. The shower door in my room was dirty with soap buildup and scum. 2. The room itself was just ok. Looked old and run down. You need to do some remodeling to charge your prices. 3. I visited the pool at 6 p.m. that evening. There were no towels and the area was unkept with chairs thrown about and people's clothing, etc left Lying around. No towels was the most disappointment. It wasn't like it was 9 pm - it was 6 pm. 4. The free breakfast included with my room was not very good. The eggs tasted like instant eggs, the potatoes had no flavor, and there was no milk Out for the oatmeal. I have emailed the resort to ask for a $100 refund. We will see how much they care about customer satisfaction. read more

Beautiful grounds, fancy food was good at the Cielo's restaurant. It was a little sketchy neighborhood-wise but once on the grounds it was private and felt secure.

We had a late night dinner on the patio. The atmosphere is nice and our server was lovely. The food was merely average. I had an arugula salad. $20 with chicken. About 50 cents worth of arugula with dressing, nothing else really in the salad except for two tiny pieces of watermelon and a few nuts. C'mon. The grilled chicken was adequate. The other food we ordered: guacamole, tacos, etc were all just plain okay. Nothing great. The prices are a bit expensive and the quality is underwhelming. Don't have high expectations. read more
