Top hotels in West University

Tucson Marriott University Park
Breakfast, parking, or the internet is not included in the hotel price. No internet? Ridiculous!! Bottle of water was $4 in the room. Stay somewhere else, where they would offer water in the lobby with cucumber or lemon for God’s sake.

Westward Look Wyndham Grand Resort and Spa
Staff at restaurant is amazing. Never seen at staff that is so happy to be at work that helps out each other. Pool could use a refresher but gets the job done. Nice property overall.
