Best Hotels near Petco, Marana

Let me preface this with the fact that we almost always stay at a Holiday Inn Express when we take a couple day trip. It’s reliable, affordable, and has free breakfast. I arrived at this HIE expecting the same thing. When I checked in, I was informed that there was a possibility of no hot water for showers. I asked when they knew about this issue and they said two days ago. A repair was not going to happen until three days later. In other words, they knew about this and waited to tell me as I checked in which is very shady. I asked for a discount and they said they couldn’t authorize that. At this point, I had just flown 4 1/2 hours and then drove 2 hours and hiked the other part of the day. I had no energy to find another hotel room during spring break so we ended up staying. And as promised, in the morning, there was no hot water for our showers. It’s one thing to have issues like this and let me know in advance. I could have changed my reservation to a different HIE. But waiting till I got there to tell me made me feel trapped. As a side note, one of my favorite things about the HIE express stay is the pancake machine and even that was broken. Breakfast was odd too with no eggs and a variety of other odd offerings. On the good side, they had the best cinnamon rolls I have ever had there and the place was very clean.

Very beautiful place, there is a lot of things to do, the rooms are very clean and comfortable. Valet staff can be a little more kinder and helpful. But overall the rest of the staff was very kind and helpful. Good experience, would recommend staying in a beautiful place like this.

I was not able to stay and was not cancel free. No idea how the hotel looks like.

This former Red Lion property is currently undergoing an extensive and complete renovation. The rooms on the top two floors are now complete. The ground floor rooms are currently being worked on. My one-bed room was renovated and SMALL (about 225 sq. ft.). Excellent blackout blinds, good TV and a LARGE shower (no tub). Air conditioning was ”governed”, so it could not be set below 71 F, however, the room seemed much cooler than that, even on a 107 F day. The room is not yet perfectly finished with all the little touches, but I'm guessing that will. happen in the next 12 months. SURPRISINGLY, my motel room did NOT have a telephone. When I asked at the front desk, they explained that my room was a rare exception, in that a telephone line has not yet been installed. My particular room was acceptable for a budget-minded couple. The courtyard, however, was lovely with a good-sized pool, hot tub, and five hole putting green. The staff was very nice, but was a little lazy, in my opinion. It was obvious the exterior stairs had NOT been swept in several days. With four people at the front desk, certainly one of them could have grabbed a broom and swept for 45 minutes. My Expedia rate was US$ 70 plus a US$ 4.00 ”Property Fee”. I would consider this property again for a solo trip.

Stayed three nights in a double room with a friend. Chose this hotel for the location close to the Tucson Mountain entry into Saguaro NP and nearby Sabino Canyon. We liked the kitchenette for our breakfasts (conveniently located by Panda Express and Basha's across the street -- try their pre-cooked pizzas!). The shower had great water pressure and the beds were comfortable with multiple pillow types to choose from. Easy access to I-10, as well.

I enjoyed my staycation here very much. While some reviewers observe that the hotel is old and dated, in general, that was not at all my experience (except for the drapes in the room which may have been from the last century). Fact is - this IS an old hotel and a Tucson landmark. My room and balcony were comfortable, clean, and pleasant. The soaking tub was delightful. My room overlooked the pool (salt water!) which added to my enjoyment. The bed was comfortable as were the chairs, large ottoman, and small sofa. I liked the computer desk. The grounds abound with native plants. I don’t play golf, but I understand that it is an excellent course. Only one of the two pools was open due to Covid restrictions, but it was thoroughly delightful and there was plenty of shade from umbrellas, decent lounge chairs, and some comfortable outdoor upholstered furniture available as well. I did not use the spa or fitness center, so I can’t comment on that. A few negatives in my book, though. First, the hotel is nowhere near ADA compliant. I understand a major upgrade is in the works so hopefully those issues can be addressed. Second, I think it’s ridiculous to charge for self-parking. Third, the hotel was not following the current CDC guidelines for indoor masking. The few times that I actually had to go into the lobby, I was the only person wearing a mask. When I compare that to a recent stay at another local resort where every single staff person and most of the guests I saw indoors were masked - I think that is inexcusable. Finally, the tv selections are heavily skewed to sports of all kind to the detriment of entertainment. Finally, the bed linens were pretty tired. Overall, I think the Omni Tucson is delightful. I would not hesitate to return or to recommend it to my friends. I look forward to the unveiling of the new and improved resort.

Really nice spot with very friendly staff, I love the swimming pools; not too crowded in the middle of the summer, and a great summer rate! Room was very spacious too. One of the pools was a nice, smaller pool down a path, and one was larger, adjacent to the mail area. There is also a lap pool which I did not go. I did not try the restaurant although it looked great. There was a nice little porch in front of the room too. I recommend this place.
