Beautiful grounds and loved the adobe style spacious rooms. Enjoyed the hot tub and seated deck area off our room to watch the sunset. Loved having the fireplace to take the chill off and enjoyed sitting outside at Cielos for dinner.

Lovely Southwestern hotel
One night visit close to Winterhaven and Tucson Botanical Garden to see Christmas lights. Enjoyed coming back to a room with a fireplace to warm us up. Spacious well appointed room with balcony. Enjoyed their restaurant and breakfast buffet too. Will definitely return.

2/10 Poor

Don't do it!!!!
I rented the room thinking it would be ni e. Two queen beds and a couch. We got there at 4pm the room was freezing and no couch. Thank goodness it had a gas fireplace which we turned up to high to warm the room. Then at 1:30am the room next to us has a fight and there two fldogs are barking for over half an hour!! The next morning we lche k out at 9:50am. And go to the restaurant for breakfast. They tell us we have 7 mins to eat from the buffet as they afe closing. My grand daughters each get a plate as do i. They still charged me full buffett pricing of 55 dollars!!! I will never recommend Lodge in the Desert to anyone!!!!

Dirty tub
Booked a jacuzzi tub room. Got into the tub after dinner and realized the tub was dirty with a scum ring above the jets. Tried to ignore it and turned on jets. Then something brown started floating on water. Quickly jumped out and showered off the ick. Was too tired to deal with it that night so I let front desk know when I checked out.
