Tucson El Rio Golf and Country Club Hotels

"Let’s be clear, this is a renovated motel. From the photos, you would not assume that so it is a surprise when you arrive. However you’re not getting the normal motel crowd, luckily. This hotel is right off the highway on like the access road. On one side of the hotel is residential and the other side it’s a strip of motels like motel six a budget inn etc,(They are gentrifying this area so in a couple of years, it should be up to par) And to give you the full picture there’s a dispensary two buildings down and a Waffle House within walking distance. Now, with all that said this place is super cute. Nice pool, cute little fitness area that actually has weights and a peloton and treadmill. The lobby is great. They have a bar, a restaurant and a coffee station as well as a microwave to heat up food. It’s a great place for a quick trip but nowhere I’d spend more than 2 nights (rooms are small but clean and well decorated). But what makes this place is there staff, they were great!! "

"Breakfast was fresh and varied. Staff was friendly and polite, the room was clean and well maintained."

"No the selection of food was trash. The pool was filled with dead bugs. The rooms are literally motel -6. It is the most disgusting and nasty flat pillow and sunk in middle bed we have stayed in. Pictues on site are not what is actually offered. We booked 4 days and left after 2. Never EVER AGAIN"

"Breakfast was good. Really nice place to stay for just overnight."

"Great location, convenient and pet friendly. Great communication with manager and seamless check-in process"

"2 years ago….good experience! Most recent (April 4) WAS NOT! Had planned to stay 4 nights, checked out after one! Reservation was for a double room. Called twice to request late check in. Very helpful staff! Asked if I wanted 1st or 2nd floor. Because of age, arthritic knees, and no elevator, I requested 1st floor. Upon arrival and check in, I was informed that there were no double rooms available, so I would receive a free upgrade to a king “suite”. On the second floor. I told the desk clerk that I did not want the upgrade, rather honor my reservation. He informed me there were no other rooms available because there had been a fire two weeks prior! I had no choice at that time of evening! Here are the other issues: “the suite” consisted of a “living room” with a couch, easy chair, lamp, tv, dresser and overhead light fixture. The bathroom separated the room from the bedroom. The sink ,counter, and mirror on one side, toilet and jetted tub, with shower head, on the other. It was very deep, no rails or slip mat for bottom of tub. The light for this room worked on a timer, as did the fan! It safe for anyone! No soap, and 1washcloth! Had to call for hand soap. The bedroom was adequate, except the noise from the ventilation unit! Twice it startled me awake. Finally, the floors WERE FILTHY. Black bare feet evidenced . Washed my feet,and used damp towel as a mat. Also, the laminate floor is buckling. Checked out after one miserable night!!"

"This was a gem of a find, clean rooms, friendly and engaging staff, parking right outside our room, everything worked as it should. Very reasonably priced. We booked a one-night stay before doing a tour at U of A and were delighted with our experience here. Will be back for sure and would highly recommend it. "

"Huge, comfortable room, great breakfast and friendly staff. "

"Property under renovation. One working light in the bedroom but no way to turn it off. I used a pillow. Killed 6 bugs. Maybe 7. Lost count. Curtains were cut (ripped?) to fit around an ac unit. AC unit worked, which was nice. Trash left in room from someone else. Generally dirty and old except for a partially renovated wall. Smelled like cigarettes. Hot water was more like not cold. Maybe it will improve, but at the moment it's pretty bad."
