Moderate
Radisson Suites Tucson Value With large and very attractive rooms, this all-
suite hotel is a good choice for both those who need plenty of space and those who want
to be in the east-side business corridor. The five-story brick building is arranged around
two long garden courtyards, one of which has a large pool and whirlpool. In fact, the
pool and gardens are among the nicest at any nonresort hotel in Tucson and are the best
reasons to stay here. Some rooms have Sleep Number® beds, and rooms on the fourth
and fifth floors on the east side have nice mountain views.

Inexpensive
Comfort Suites at Sabino Canyon Although it looks rather stark from the outside
and shares a parking lot with a shopping center, this Comfort Suites is surprisingly pleas-
ant inside. Built around four tranquil and lushly planted garden courtyards, the hotel has
(for the most part) large rooms, some of which have kitchenettes. This is a good eco-
nomical choice close to Sabino Canyon, the Mount Lemmon Highway, and Saguaro
National Park's east unit.

THE FOOTHILLS
Very Expensive
The Lodge at Ventana Canyon This boutique golf resort shares the same two
Tom Fazio-designed golf courses as Loews Ventana Canyon Resort. Stay here, though,
and you'll get more personal service. The Lodge at Ventana Canyon is part of a gated
country club community at the base of the Santa Catalina Mountains, so when you stay
here you feel more like a resident than just another hotel guest. Because this is such a
small resort, it has a more relaxed feel than the Hilton Tucson El Conquistador Resort or
the Omni Tucson National Resort. Accommodations are in spacious suites, most of
which have mission-style furnishings, small kitchens, large bathrooms with oversize tubs,
and walls of windows facing the mountains. A few units have balconies, cathedral ceil-
ings, and spiral stairs that lead to sleeping lofts. The third hole of the resort's Mountain
Course is one of Tucson's most photographed holes.
