Desert Diamond Casino & Hotel
The property was nice. The rooms were spacious. Everyone was helpful. Only pitfalls was the hours of the restaurants. They open late and close early so we had to go offsite to eat the majority of the time. It was fun having the casino there.

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Tucson Airport
Nice clean property. Only quibbles: no weights in gym, door locks need maintenance (I had to help an older woman who was struggling to open hers). Great proximity to airport, polite and congenial staff.

Spark By Hilton Tucson Airport
The breakfast had moldy fruit, the yogurt machine wasn’t working, and the jam was runny. There wasn’t a single cup in the rooms, or ice bucket. Also, no shower gel. There was also a nail clipping on the floor, which made me question how often rooms are vacuumed.
