2nd trip here, every bit as amazing. The hotel rooms are really nice. Spacious with several options, well made furniture. The pool is excellent. No ice machine, but you can get bagged ice at front desk. Walkable or short drive (weather dep) to some great restaurants and close enough to downtown and Saguaro. Extended stay a night. I'd appreciate if Cielo's got a few more veg/vegan options for breakfast menu and buffet.

The inside of the rooms were a little bit dated, but very, very clean. The outside of the property is gorgeous and updated. This would be a good property to have a family at. Very nice, but pretty relaxed. Did not try the dining options, but there were many. A couple things – there wasn’t an ice machine to use, but the front desk did give me a small bag of ice. There also wasn’t a microwave available anywhere – I did ask a little bit later in the evening, so maybe there’s one available during the day. But if you’re on a long road trip, ice and a microwave are nice to have. I would stay here again. Also, there’s tons of things close by. It’s a fairly short and easy drive into downtown Tucson, and there is a Target and other things that you might want if you had a family with you on a road trip. I was visiting Saguaro National Park, and it was a short easy drive there, too.

Everything was lovely, our room was clean and comfortable with very nice soft sheets. Staff helpful and friendly . Food was good too. Plus plenty of safe parking. We enjoyed our stay very much.

I loved the Lodge on the Desert. It’s one of the few classic, beautiful, old school hotels that harken back to the ‘40’s and ‘50’s. Many movie stars stayed there. But what sets Lodge on the Desert apart is that it’s unpretentious and true Arizona while having beautiful rooms and grounds. The restaurant is great and the bar has wonderful margaritas. The pool was a restful oasis. I think the Lodge will be my go to in Tucson now.

I only stayed one night but would’ve loved to stay more! I felt like I had my own little apartment. The room was so cute and cozy and the property was beautiful. The front desk staff were friendly and helpful with any questions I had. I was able to enjoy the pool as well as have dinner at the bar of the restaurant on property. I will definitely stay here again if I’m ever in Tucson in the future!

It was a beautiful property tucked away in Tucson. Love the style of the hotel, and the amenities and thick towels. Would stay again when next in Tucson. We liked the free drink and salsa in the restaurant, too.It prompted us to have dinner there.

Had a very pleasant stay. Quiet even though in the middle of the city. Pool is nice and shaded for early evening, which is so nice. Loved the stay!

Room was cool even when it was 105 degrees outside. Loved the beautiful tile work in the bathroom and the shower was hot. Room was large and the beef was comfortable.

What a fantastic hide-a-way! We only stayed overnight, but would have loved to stay longer. This place was fantastic - will definitely stay here again!

Paul • Couple Trip

We were surprised at the quality of the restaurant on site. Excellent dinner dining experience. Casual atmosphere, but top quality menu. The included breakfast buffet far better than those out-of-the-box cheap breakfast buffets at most places. I was really surprised. Room clean, housekeeping prompt, mini frig. We used the pool and Jacuzzi every day.

The lodge on the desert was everything I hope for and more. I’ll definitely stay here the next time I come back to Tucson.
