Arizona Inn

The Inn is a beautiful property, the exterior landscaping is carefully maintained. Lots and lots of parking makes it convenient. The main building has historical furniture. Our guest room was simple and very clean; you have to provide your personal password for streaming channels. The food was 5 stars, a crisp Caesar with freshly made dressing and perfectly prepared filets , exactly cooked to medium. Breakfast was outstanding.

I have been coming here for the past 35 years and it never fails to leave me feeling relaxed and tranquil. Love the beautiful grounds with all its flowers and greenery. There are many places to sit outside and enjoy the quietness and beauty. The food is delicious. We loved the duck dish in the main restaurant. The Yogurt and berries for breakfast are a real treat, there is no skimping on the berries so that is plenty for the meal. Enjoyed the afternoon tea, the scones were as good as we got in London. Love to sit in the library by the fire and spend the day reading.

We love the Arizona Inn! We’ve been there multiple times and it never disappoints. There is everything right there for you—-great food, tennis, a beautiful pool, and and an elegant library/living room tended with cozy fires and coffee in the morning and tea in a few afternoons. The only reason the rooms missed a star is that they vary widely, even within the same category, but they are always comfortable and immaculate. Treat yourself to a room with a patio and enjoy this very lovely place.

Went there with a large group in the morning and they accommodated us promptly and very courteously. They were so pleasant, careful and attentive to each one of us. They served us all at the same time while all the food was perfectly hot. The food was exemplary and delicious. Would recommend to anyone to come and enjoy.

Old world elegance, charm and service. Some employees have been there over 20 years, indicating there's good management, which also shows in all other areas. Coffee with newspapers in the Library with a roaring fireplace, afternoon tea, manicured grounds, flowerbeds, wonderful pool with thick cushions on the chaises and so much more. Very good food and service, even a piano player some nights, befitting the style of this Inn. Not inexpensive, not over the top luxury (simple but comfortable rooms), tennis courts, no golf, it all worked for a very relaxed 11 nights we spent (again) at the Inn. We look forward to returning next year.

(This is a review of the restaurant only.) My sisters and I took my mom here for a birthday brunch recently and we all enjoyed it so much. The lobby, library, and grounds are decked out for the holidays, and the vibe is so cozy. We dined outside on the patio and the food, service, and atmosphere were all pretty much perfect. I ordered a veggie burger. While the trimmings and sides were top notch, the patty itself was very run-of-the-mill frozen fare—I’d bet $100 it was the reliably squishy original Garden Burger. I’m glad that it was normal veggies, though, and not the weird processed Beyond Burger or Impossible Burger most places serve. For the price, however, I would expect something far superior, and handmade. The rest of my (very picky) family was thrilled with their meaty options. Although a vegetarian can find a filling meal here, it’s definitely not the Arizona Inn’s strong suit. I come for the vibe, but I’m just letting you know in case that is a top priority. It’s good enough that I keep coming back. In grad school a girlfriend and I would treat each other to lunch/brunch here on our birthdays. We loved the marble dining room, the historic aura, and of course the cocktails and snacks. If you’re in Tucson, it’s well worth a visit.

We had an incredible first-time, 3-night, stay at the Arizona Inn. We were here as part of our friends wedding, and were totally enamored and stoked that we were introduced to this historic and iconic property. The rooms were beautifully spacious and the beds blew us away, I think they were the BIGGEST and most comfortable beds we've ever slept in. The pool/sauna space is lovely, the outdoor table tennis is fun, the grand library is beautiful to sit by the fire especially at Christmas, and the grounds are just pleasant and large enough to be walked around. We would happily come back!

We have stayed at the Inn for many, many years. However, it's been a long time since we visited. I was concerned our recent stay may not be as before but was SO wrong. The Arizona Inn is better than ever. Quiet, beautiful, so welcoming, gorgeous rooms, super friendly staff and the food was just amazing. There is only one place for us now when we visit Tucson. Thank you!!! XO

This place is underrated! We are guests that stayed here last year and came back this year. It is fine dinning restaurant that is truly that. White tablecloths, professional servers and excellent food. We've tried many things on the menu and enjoyed everything! The filet mignon is particularly fantastic! Do yourself a favor and come here to celebrate!

Food was good. Service was fair but they did not honor a gift card saying it expired. I would never buy a gift card again from them.

The Arizona Inn is our favorite hotel in America. For two decades this Tucson treasure has been our perfect place to catch our breath and enjoy a never long enough break to feel Like royalty. Over the years we've stayed at a wide variety of the luxurious rooms. Each stay has been unique and a marvel treat. The seasonal daily afternoon teas and ice cream Sunday bars add to the excellence of everything served at this historical world class hotel. The pool is super and the well kept grounds are a delight. There is a lot to see in the Tucson the Arizona Inn should be at the top of everyone's list.

Had a memorial for my husband in November at the Az inn and were more than satisfied! Great job Az Inn! Ps everyone loved the scones! Thank you

I came here for dinner last night and sat in the Audubon bar since there was live piano music. I ordered dinner from the main dining room though so I will review the main dining room here. The seared ahi tuna appetizer was a little spicy and it was delicious but I forgot how tiny the portions are for their appetizers. I would suggest ordering an appetizer for each person. The Seared Skin Bay Salmon didn't have much flavor on its own, but at least it wasn't fishy. I did not like the fried avocado, I would prefer it uncooked. But all the accompaniments when mixed with the salmon made the bite taste good. My dining companion ordered the Filet mignon steak frites medium well so I can't really judge it since I like it medium rare. It didn't taste like it had much flavor though. I did not like the sauce (veal reduction) they drizzled over the fries, it tasted burnt. I'm sad they no longer have the duck I loved last time, but that was years ago. I recommend trying the Hemingway Daiquiri. It was so good.

Great food and wonderful atmosphere. Service was spot on and cheerful. Wine selection was worth price

As many Tucson natives know, one goes to the Arizona Inn for the ambiance, not for the food. It is delightful to sit in the bar or out on the patio for a drink to celebrate the beauty and history of the Inn. There is nothing like it in Tucson and I hope, now that it has been sold, that nothing will change but the food. A friend and I went for the Sonora Week lunch. Both ordered the burgers and fries, flan dessert for me, chocolate cake for her. The burgers were passable, the fries straight out of a crinkle cut frozen bag from Safeway and not even hot and crispy. Really good pickle spear on the side. All done better at any fast food burger shop (recommendation Dave's Lotta Burger). I ordered the sad little rubber disc smothered in cinnamon that they passed off as a flan. It was garnished with old defrosted mixed berries, limp and discolored. Adding insult to the dish was a recently defrosted, heavy, soggy little pastry whose cream filling was actually gray. I put this down to, perhaps, no chef in the kitchen and no real investment in the Sonoran Week menu, only $45 for two. But, $22.50 plus tax and tip would get me a much higher quality lunch at most good restaurants. The service was great, the environment lovely old school, and we could actually talk to each other without shouting. That is worth a lot.

Every part of this meal was marvelous. We were seated quickly at a beautiful outdoor patio that provides a pretty view of the unique Inn in which the restaurant is. The ambiance was fantastic with the sunny weather outside and live piano for the indoor area. I ordered a fish special and it was amazing. The servers were responsive and helped make this a special place to grab a bite to eat. The plating was breathtaking and the cook of the fish and flavor of the meal screamed elegance. It wasn't the cheapest place in Tucson, but if you are staying here you have to try this restaurant out. There are less expensive, more basic options on the menu, but any special is absolutely worth a shot.

A friend recommended staying here and glad they did. Very nice and interesting place to stay in Tucson. We would stay again for sure.

Breakfast. Food was Okay. Just okay. Eggs Benedict not too bad. I won't go back because the place needs to be cleaned up. It was not clean .... It was really nasty. I could send some Pictures but I won't do that to this Tucson icon. It wasn't because it's old. It was dirty. Why? Please fix this. We miss you.

I keep checking back to see if the Arizona Inn has decided to get back to being the wonderful In that it was. We were regulars for quite awhile, but were seeing what we came to expect drop off. We gave it another try in 2022, and with the main dining room closed and the bar closed on NYE at 9 P.M., it was clear that they were not ready for prime time. Going from outstanding service, great accommodations, breakfast in bed, homemade marmalade, to what it was in 2022, was so disappointing. I hope that there has been a thought to the return of their heyday since then, and if so, I hope they let me know.

Grounds are beautiful. Food was good. I can't speak for the rest of the rooms, but room 129 smells like cat pee. It's a $350/night patio room and we had to crack all the windows and open both doors. We left our front door open, cracked both windows and opened the back door (hotel can get a bonus star for being very safe). Came back from dinner and it still smells like cat pee. The hotel is supposed to be historic, not dilapidated. If you get room 129, go ahead and tell the desk to downgrade you or find a different patio room. It's gross.

We have always wanted to stay at the historic Arizona in so we took advantage of the end of summer off season rates for a two-day getaway. We were greeted warmly by a very personable young woman, Emma who made us feel very welcomed. This morning we enjoyed a delicious breakfast which was served by the delightful Bri, so friendly and genuinely warm and attended to us very efficiently. Warm and genuine is the theme of the personnel here. The grounds and furnishings really transport you back in time. Now we will go enjoy the pool before it gets too hot.

The Arizona Inn is a Tucson tradition and beautiful historic property, their grounds are well maintained, and the inn itself is a fun step back in time. A fun place to recommend for out of town visitors who would opt to stay local instead of at a chain hotel if they want to be near The University or Central Tucson. If you're not staying at the hotel you can still dine on their patio. On my visit, I enjoyed their turkey sandwich more than other hotels I've eaten at. Some of my friends were underwhelmed with their entrees like the chicken sandwich but we chalked it up to the fact that dining at the Arizona Inn is more for the experience than food. Like many hotel restaurants, entrees are on the more expensive side so just be prepared for that!

Everything was perfect! The food couldn't have been better. Service was great. Front desk is the best

I went to the Arizona Inn with a friend for lunch. I wanted a shrimp cocktail but they were out of shrimp. No big deal, I ordered a Ruben Sandwich. It was very good and my side of fries were some of the best fries I have eaten in a long time. The service was very good, yes the prices are high. Very few people were in the restaurant at the time, which was early afternoon. The gift shop has beautiful items but almost without exception too expensive for my wallet. It's a lovely piece of history. However it does smell like a very old hotel. Not sure cleaning the carpets would help.

I love the Arizona Inn. I'm not quite sure what is happening there. Bar and servers are wonderful. The bellman Will has to be the worst bellman/porter I have ever had the displeasure of meeting. He is always on his phone, doesn't open the door, doesn't lift a finger to help with bags, but will gladly accept a tip. It's such a shame that he is the first person one encounters when entering the Inn.

The understated elegance of the historic accommodations near the U of A just cannot be beat. I highly recommend this place to all of my friends and family members. It is great to see such a beautiful historic landmark still going strong after all of these decades. I especially like their lounge. It is super charming and serene.

A few friends and I stopped by for dinner. The patio and the Audubon bar is open. We ordered the pork belly bun, Caesar salad and Vichyssoise soup. The pork belly buns come 3 to an order. The pork was juicy and the skin was crispy. The bun was nice and soft, very good. The Caesar salad came with anchovies and croutons, it was a good size. Loved the vichyssoise soup. It was served cold sitting on ice. Great flavor. Service was attentive. The manager, Kurtis stopped by a few times to check on us, great service. We sat in the library after dinner with the large Christmas tree and roaring fire. It was nice to relax with friends.

Need a cool hangout: try the bar of the Arizona Inn. Chill piano, delicious burgers, and a back bar stocked with your favorite beverages.

This place is hot or miss. In season, it can be really good for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Our of season it is iffy. Stopped in a couple weeks ago and nobody was in the dining room (or outside). That sent up a red flag. Otherwise, I love this place and it's history.

Cool hotel, potentially, but the room was oppressively musty due to either the ancient curtains, the fabric wing chairs, or maybe the 1980s carpet. It smelled so bad we had to open all the windows while we were at dinner. Since we were only there for one night and were leaving very early, we stayed. The sad thing is that it was an "upgrade" offered by the desk manager who had to have known it was a bad room. The library tea is nice but the dirty plates weren't bussed for over two hours. I had to move dirty plates to be able to set my own down. The bar looked inviting but, again, a lot of dirty glasses and dishes on every table. Easy parking. Two stars for history and library. Overall, an interesting place but badly needs some TLC. I would not stay here again.

Amazing place! Rich with culture and the culinary experience to match. The staff was professional and their service was spot on. Put it on your list as a must do!

I have to be honest, the Butternut squash plate for $46 was not tasty. It was dry with very little flavor and the pasta was seared and seemed to be reheated or the pasta wraps were heated by grilling. The waiter never came back around so I was not asked if I wanted anything else to replace it. The waiter was rude, had to ask for both water and bread. When I said I could not eat the ravioli that it did not taste good I had not given any concession on the price of the food.The chef needs to go back to culinary school as this was not gourmet for a well known restaurant . I have had much better Butternut Squash ravioli at the Monteray Bay restaurant in Pittsburgh. We were in a group of 6 and we were going to pay separately except for the husband and wife but the waiter gave the check to the husband at the table and said the computers were not working and he could not give separate checks. 3 of the 4 were paying with credit cards . That was not fair to the Husband at the table as 4 of us were mature adult student artists females and not guests of the man and his wife. As far as the visual of the Arizona Inn, it is clean but food leaves much to be desired. One can not eat Ambiance. I do not recommend eating at the Arizona Inn. 1/24/25

Lovely hotel in a historical quiet part of Tucson. Quite spacious rooms, very classy, equipped with a small library. There is table tennis, croquet and clay tennis on the premises, in wonderfully maintained gardens. Tea is offered in the morning and evening in the common library - a beautiful wood paneled room with tall ceilings and exposed wooden beams, big windows, comfortable furniture and a fireplace. By far, my favorite room in any hotel I've ever been to. The restaurant is lovely, but we decided to dine at the bar/lounge. Loved the live music and relaxing atmosphere, was a perfect end of very busy days during our stay. All about this hotel reminded of typical midwestern hospitality, sprinkled with luxury and comfort. I will certainly go back next time I am in Tucson, and will plan to stay past my business travel.

Two pieces of advice. Eat outside. And get the pappardelle pasta. But do not expect the staff to move tables so you can sit more people together than they have already set up. And no you cannot move the tables yourself either. And they will not honor your specific request when you reserve ahead of time. We made a reservation for six people to sit in the shade outside. When we arrived there were no tables for six outside in the shade. Are you still with me? We found a table outside all by ourselves that was round and good enough for six and moved it mostly into the shade on a very sunny day. Fortunately I had a big hat. Nobody else was wild about their food and my pasta dish was outstanding. Everybody wished they had ordered that also. Service was good and once again my pasta was delicious. One of the best pasta dishes I've ever had anywhere. Not so great for my friends. My prior experience dining at the Arizona in for over 25 years was always disappointing and I had vowed not to return there. I will go back anytime now eat that pasta again as long as I don't expect to sit where I expect to sit. Pappardelle Pasta $25 Fresh Egg Pasta, Sautéed Spinach, Caramelized Onion, Beech Mushrooms, Roasted Corn, Tomato Confit Beurre Blanc, Goat Cheese, Garlic Butter Baguette. Add Chicken (6) or Grilled Shrimp (8)

My husband and I stopped by several times over the last year and a half to have dinner here. We were finally able to have dinner in the bar area a few months ago. But you still can't sit at the bar. How stupid is that! Problem is that when we did eat here, the manager was stalking us, was not friendly and was actually hostile. The food was mediocre and We haven't been back. We spent a lot eating here. No more. I don't know what's going on with this establishment but ever since this Covid CRAP hit Tucson, where they made a decision to shut the restaurant down to outside customers then they limited their times serving and now its open part of the time that it was previously open, its gone downhill and the food quality and staff have changed also. Its no longer enjoyable eating here.

Much as I love the Arizona Inn and have had good meals in the past, this time was very disappointing. I was with a group of 20 people celebrating a friend's birthday in a separate room. Our drink order was taken first but it took quite a bit to have the food order taken. The prickly pear mimosa was very good and would recommend that. I ordered the lemon granola pancakes off the brunch menu and asked if I could also have some berries. The first set of pancakes they gave me were burnt pretty badly and all I could taste was the burnt taste. I didn't get any maple syrup that time but did get a dish of berries ($5.00 was charged). The second set of pancakes was about as bad. There was one pancake on the bottom that wasn't so burnt and I was able to scrape the burnt top off of another so that I could actually get the lemon flavor which I would have loved to enjoy. I didn't want to send them back again as by then about 2 hours had passed and I was hungry so scraped off what I could. To the credit of the waiter, he noticed and said he talked to his manager and they wouldn't charge me which I did appreciate. Others at our table did enjoy their meal-a chicken salad, short rib eggs benedict, a New York strip and the cornflake French toast. One person had a burger that was dry and tough but she was given a turkey sandwich to replace it. I'd give fewer stars had I not been there for good meals in the past or if others didn't like their meal. I'm being generous based on the food. Despite the meal, the ambiance is lovely. I especially enjoy going into the library which is nicely decorated with a large Christmas tree. The main dining room is very nice and has a fireplace at one end. They have kept up the Inn very nicely given its age. It's worth a visit and if you get a different meal, you might really love it.

I am incredibly disappointed that the venerated Arizona Inn has fallen to be a shabby shadow of her former glory. I've stayed here in the past and the grounds were manicured, the service was impeccable and it was a wonderful experience. It seems now that there are echos of what it used to be, the staff is pleasant, but not helpful, the rooms are spacious, but smell musty and look tired. The hotel is simply a shadow of its former self. There is no longer food & drink service at the pool. In fact there is not even room service for a Saturday afternoon cocktail and snack. This is simply unacceptable. When questioned about this at 4:30 in the afternoon on a Saturday, the front desk informed me that there was no manager present, he had left for the day and would be back on Monday. This is after we were unable to get drinks or service at the pool on Friday afternoon. This is why the foothills resorts are taking over. The pleasant young woman was unapologetic and let me know that I could walk down to the bar and schlep a couple of drinks back to my room. No Mamager, no service, NO THANKS! I'm guessing that they have vending machines on order for the hallways and by the pool so as to rise to the level of service that I can get at the motel 6. We should all take a moment to mourn the loss of this grand old lady, but to be clear the queen has died and the successor is the idiot nephew that people whisper about. It would be nice if there was a leader or plan in place to carry on the tradition of what was once a very fine establishment. Sadly it seems that they are content to exist based on their former reputation and slide into inevitable decline. This is sad, but beware if you decide to stay here that you will be receiving a room and a bed, that is it.

Went to lunch with and out of Town guest to the Arizona Inn is a fancy, historical hotel, a lovely resort on Saturday. We sat at the main bar area and had drinks before being serviced lunch, we had to keep on waving away the flies as we were eating, I guess and old resort maybe not anyway to keep insects out of there facility. I will never go back....Next we will go to La Ventana.

I just heard two other guests say "everything was perfect". I agree. I can find no fault here. The food is excellent; well and properly prepared and served. And beautifully presented. The room is clean and comfortable and spacious with everything you need (and some things that one rarely finds). Full amenities in the room and daily service. The grounds are impeccable...flowers everywhere...croquet anyone? Ping pong? Swimming? Badminton? Tennis (on clay court!)? Library? This is simply a beautiful, historic and comfortable place to be. I highly recommend it.

I mainly booked a one day staycation to enjoy the pool with my family. We were the only ones at the pool and they told us to turn off the music. Not turn it down but off. Pool party music not even offensive or disruptive music. Other guests were enjoying themselves at the pool too nothing seemed wrong and a staff member came and asked us "Are you guys even guests here?". I didn't see him ask anyone else and what a coincidence that we were the only younger Hispanic family there. A bit rude. Also, at 6am our alarm clock went off and when we turned it off we could hear the other alarm clocks in empty rooms beside us going off. That did not sit well with my 1 and 3 year old. Yes historic and clean but will find a better fit for us next time.

Met up with family to have breakfast on Mother'sDay, got seated and then waited for 20 min until someone came and took our order. By the time our waitress came to take our order, another table that had been seated after us had already had their order taken. We all ordered omelettes and they were ok, really nothing to write home about. Never did anyone refilled our water glasses the entire time we were there. I would definitely not recommend this place to anyone wanting a good breakfast. Bad service and so so food = not a good experience.

Manager at hotel denied us a trash can. I was here for a CareerMD event. I politely asked for a trash can. A female manager of the hotel came to me and in the most full-of-herself way said, "we've hosted this event for four years" Mind you, I'm the paying customer. I PAID to be here. I wanted to say, "Well lady I have done this all over the country from New York to California, and I've never been at a venue that denied us trash cans". I think it's really ratchet when trash is overflowing. We were only provided a tiny trash can outside the Tucson conference room. Empty plates were left on tables for over an hour. Gross. This is gross.

I have this local 'bucket list' of places I want to go/try and Arizona Inn was on -- to dine in their dining room. It was two friends birthdays so we decided to do brunch here. The dining room is truly lovely, and you get a feel of nostalgia being in the Inn itself. I had not realized it has been here since 1930. We were seated at the table and immediately provided ice water in these gorgeous blue cobalt glasses and our drink order was taken. It was Sunday late morning so of course, we indulged in some Mimosa's -- I tried both the Prickly Pear Mimosa and the Ruby Mimosa -- and while I did love both, the Ruby Mimosa was incredible and I could have had a few more. 2 of us ordered the Southwestern Benedict, 1 the Huevos Rancheros. ALL of us cleaned our plates if that says anything. The food was beautifully presented on the plate and was very fresh. They even provided us with some fresh pico, that added some nice flavor to my potatoes. Since we were celebrating 2 birthdays, our server indicated the birthday girls could select any dessert off the menu, complimentary. We tried the chocolate cake, pineapple/basil cheesecake, and the Salted Caramel Budino. WOW is all I can say. While all three were fantastic, my favorite was a tie between the Budino and the chocolate cake. Be prepared, they do bring you fingerbowls once you are finished with a plate of truffles. It is hilarious to see the looks on faces that have never been presented with a finger bowl. Bottom line, I am so happy I finally got over here for my bucket list meal -- it was totally worth it.

This is the perfect place to enjoy an amazing Christmas lunch with a dear friend. This is also one of my favorite Tucson treasures! I also love the decorations, especially the large fresh tree in the library! We both ordered the Cobb salad. Delicious and the presentation was perfect! We also had the Brussels sprouts appetizer. When my friend ordered it, I rolled my eyes because I don't like Brussels sprouts!! Well, that was then; I like them at the Arizona Inn! I highly recommend the Arizona Inn and will be back soon!

First time here, first impression: upscale and gorgeous ambiance. Old art on the walls, elegant furnishings in a mission style. Mostly older single travelers enjoying a quiet breakfast... a little too quiet perhaps... music would be nice. First bite: Not bad. The dish looked wonderful, but the flavors were not there. Had to go back to the salt shaker twice and pile on the nice fresh salsa. Had the southwestern benedict. Wouldn't recommend it, but there were lots of wonderful sounding options. The accompanying breakfast potatoes were fingerlings, and fried just right. The coffee was very good. The service: Friendly and professional. Had to wait for coffee refill, but no worries to wait and take in the decor in such a lovely setting.

Wonderful Mother's Day celebration with my family at the historic Arizona Inn. My expectations were high and the Arizona Inn didn't disappoint, from its refined elegant atmosphere to our 3 course gourmet meal. We were seated in the exquisitely decorated main dining room at quiet table set with brilliant cobalt blue glasses. Received excellent service from our waitstaff. They were top notch throughout our meal and kept the champagne flowing. The prix fixe menu had several scrumptious options. For our first course, we selected the chilled vichyssoise soup, balsamic glazed brussels sprouts with savory goat cheese panna cotta, and lobster bisque. I shared all three with my family. The sweetness of the goat cheese panna cotta was the perfect compliment to the sprouts. The lobster bisque was the best I've ever eaten. In addition, we enjoyed a trio of sweet and savory mini breads, including one with jalapeño. For my main course, I selected Beef Bourguignon. Braised to perfection in a mushroom and burgundy sauce and set atop a puff pastry with a side of garlic mashed potatoes. My dessert was an awesome assortment of mini bites, which included a French macaron, flourless chocolate cake, creme brûlée, and cheesecake. High fives to the chef and everyone who had a part in making our meal. A stroll around the hotel grounds with its beautiful gardens, water fountain, and a visit to the gift shop made our special day complete.

I stayed at Arizona Inn and words cannot describe how poor the service was in the restaurant for breakfast. I ordered an omelette (18 dollars) and tea (4 dollars). I asked the waitress if it was possible to get ONE PIECE of salmon and after a lot of unnecessary back and forth with the kitchen, a piece of salmon was brought out to me. I was charged 10 DOLLARS for ONE PIECE of salmon. I was never informed of the price by the waitress and it is not listed on the menu. This is ridiculous. I could have gone to Whole Foods and bought a whole package of salmon for less money. To top it all off, the salmon was not fresh and smelled awful to the point that I could not eat it. My total bill was 34.78, which is ridiculous for an (undercooked) omelette and tea. I asked the waitress about this and all she said was "oh, sorry". I felt forced to sign the check and leave. I informed the front desk of this issue and they said that I would not be charged for breakfast and that someone would reach out to me. Unsurprisingly, no one reached out to be and I see the charge on my credit card bill. I sent an email to the hotel about this issue. Subsequently, Hector the Dining Room Manager emailed me and was rude and completely lacking in customer service skills. His focus is on money rather than treating customers fairly. I do not recommend anyone to eat at this restaurant or stay at this hotel. There are plenty of other nicer and higher quality places to stay and eat in Tucson.

This was my first time to eat at the Arizona Inn. You can't ask for a lovelier setting than this beautiful oasis right in the middle of Tucson. Walking through the doors and out to the back area is truly like finding a little green paradise in the midst of a dusty desert. Even if we hadn't had lunch at the restaurant, I would have been very happy just wandering the grounds of this exquisite property. Our lunch was expensive and ok. Not great but decent. We all ordered the guacamole burger which was huge but not particularly seasoned. My brother ordered medium well and it came out looking more like medium. The bun was very tasty. The fries were standard, fast food type. My brother ordered a slaw for his side dish and the bite I had was definitely distinctive and, I thought, pretty tasty. Considering there was almost no one in the restaurant at the time we ordered, I was a bit surprised for how long our meals took to arrive. I actually thought we might have been forgotten. This happened again as we waited for the check, though this could be one of those things where you're being encouraged to linger and talk. The waiter wasn't overly friendly or attentive. It certainly wasn't bad enough that felt a need to write him up but, given the prices for a burger, I might have expected a bit more attentiveness on his part.

The establishment itself is nice, however the services I received was astonishing with how poor it was. I felt not only judged, but also mistreated by several of the staff members working there. I was recommended by a friend, and had very high expectations, but I am so disappointed and will not be visiting or recommending this place. I was ignored when I asked for a drink by a larger man, and was glanced at when I asked for anything. I have never experienced worse customer service... DO NOT go here unless you want to be judged and received horrible treatment by the staff...

Super delicious and amazing gluten free and vegetarian options! I had the vegetarian burger on a gluten free bun! So yummy and a perfect portion size with delicious fries. My mom had the chickpea cakes and the sautéed vegeteables that came alongside it were to die for! There was even live music playing and we sat on the gorgeous patio. Delicious and charming! Update! We statues here again this weekend and I ordered the vegetarian burger again and it was just as delicious!! For breakfast I had avocado toast this time (gluten free) and it was also delicious. The best hotel and restaurant in Tucson!

My friend was in town and was staying here with her mother, and we all got to go to breakfast there. I live relatively close by and have driven past the property a couple times and have always been so curious about it since it's the middle of a great neighborhood in Tucson, kind of tucked away from other attractions. I ordered the salmon benedict, and it was very good. The dining room had a lot of natural light and all in all, it was a really pleasant experience. My friend and I also took a stroll around the grounds, which were in great condition. The other rooms, including the lobby and study are also very nice--lots of historical decor.

Ahhhh..... The Arizona Inn Martini. The best in town. A standard-sized, chilled martini glass filled to the rim with a side car of martini waiting to poured in later. Almost two martinis. WAIT! Some rocket scientist decided that was too much of a good thing. Now you get a child-sized martini glass with a splash of martini in the bottom of it and the rest of a stingy pour in the side car. What?!?! I'd pay more for the correct Arizona Inn Martini. Bring it back. It's not like folks go to Arizona Inn for an economical drinks. They go for the experience and you're screwing it up.

Stunning hotel with beautiful grounds. But the customer service is awful. They did not follow exact instructions when I had others in my party arriving. They never cleaned the room and even know check out is noon is received a call at 12:14 asking why I have not checked out and they deactivated my keys. Now for $500+ a night I expect more.

My Grandmother and I drove from the foothills of Tucson over to this beautiful Inn. We were headed there for High Tea. When we got there, the tea was set up in the library/sitting room. Very beautiful. It was to start at 3:30. We waited 45 minutes and finally it was time for tea. At that moment we were informed that we could not have tea or partake, because it is for "house guests only". When we walked in and asked about high tea, the receptionist did not mention anything about that. I asked the attendant if we could pay to stay for tea and he said no, unfortunately it was just for guests. I went to the front desk and ask another person if there was a way my grandmother (92) and I could pay to stay for tea. He said only if I wanted to pay for the price of a room for the night, because the tea was included. I told him I did not want a room for the night, I just wanted to have tea with my Grandmother. He told me it was not possible. I cannot believe there was not an exception made for my sweet, cute, 92 year old Grandmother. We would have had one cup of tea in a beautiful setting and maybe one little pastry. It ruined our day. And we will never come back to this Inn for anything. Learn to give better customer service is my advice. Thanks so much!

With regard to dining in the bar: beautiful and relaxing ambiance, excellent service, and expensive food that does not quite live up to its price point. Go with friends, go for the ambiance, go for the drinks, and if you order food, it will be fine -- it just won't be great. Three stars for the food/price point (my prevailing concern for this review), but five stars for the ambiance and service. With regard to lodging: Before I moved to Tucson, we spent three or four nights here during the low season (mid-July). Who visits Tucson in mid-July? So the rates were quite reasonable at the time. Quite simply, it's a wonderful place to stay, if you can afford the rates. 5-stars for the lodging.

A huge thank you to Forest, Megan, and Jenny for making our stay at the Arizona Inn one of the most memorable experiences. As a Chef, I know the hospitality industry well, and I confidently say that the staff at Arizona Inn knows how to make their guests feel special. Thank you again !

Fantastic quaint dining experience in a small local boutique hotel. I love the fruit and chicken salad and get it each time I am there. There are many different dining rooms and a patio. A little pricey, but you would get that with any hotel (of this calibers) onsite dining options.
