Top Science Downtown Hotel Reviews

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Tucson City Center, AZ

10/10 Excellent

"I have been to a few other hotels in the Tucson area, and we came back here because we remembered enjoying our stay here. The bed was comfortable, the facilities are clean and the front desk staff are kind and polite. I appreciate that they are not intrusive, but still make you feel welcome. The complementary breakfast was good, and fresh. The wifi is sufficient to stream on if you are okay with using your own device because the rooms have cable, not streaming services. All listed amenities were as expected. I really appreciated the usb outlets on the bedside table for those of us who do not always carry our charging blocks. Overall the stay was great, and we will likely return."

"The room was comfortable. My girlfriend loved the decor of the Rose room we reserved. We slept amazing on the comfortable bed. Breakfast was perfect for us. Fresh fruit, yogurt, fresh croissant. The breakfast will not be for people that want a big full breakfast but they do offer $10 coupons to some local restaurants so you can get a full breakfast. It was nice to have a pool and hot tub. Pool is chilly. The grounds are beautiful with flower and green vegetation. The staff was friendly and helpful."
