Tucson Marriott University Park Hotel, Tucson

The hotel offers large, clean rooms with a balcony, perfect for relaxation. The service was friendly and accommodating, but not very service-oriented. The location is excellent for exploring the nearby campus and eateries. However, the dining experience was subpar, leading us to venture out for meals.

My stay at the hotel was a bit disappointing. The room was clean, orderly, and well-stocked but looked onto a noisy construction site, making it difficult to sleep. The price of $350 for one night did not match the overall experience.

The hotel had a mixed experience for me. The rooms were decent but still smelled like smoke, and the noise from the nearby construction site was quite bothersome early in the morning, although this was not the hotel's fault. It was a bit cramped for our party of four, and since it's closed on weekends, we didn't get any benefits from that. However, the service was top-notch, with enthusiastic and friendly staff members, especially one standout professional employee. The location was perfect for my needs, with easy access to the campus, restaurants, and bars. The dining options were alright, with a basic buffet and good omelets, although I did experience some disappointment. Overall, it was a bit of a mixed bag.

The hotel is quite different from the usual Marriott experience. The rooms lacked basic amenities like a safe, and the ongoing construction work was a distraction. Despite these issues, the price I paid seemed fair for what I booked.

The hotel is conveniently located near the University of Arizona, making it perfect for business visits or parents visiting their kids on campus. The ability to open windows and do without the AC was a plus, but some rooms were found to be dusty and dirty at check-in.
