Desert paradise.
Pros: Love the gardens and fountains. Room was clean and comfortable. In-room coffee was delicious. Soap, lotion, etc. were heavenly. Wildlife habitat was appreciated (hummers, quail, rabbits, lizards). Morning coffee and afternoon tea. Attentive cleaning staff (had broken bulb replaced immediately without our mentioning it). Extension cord for medical device easy to obtain. Quiet (no music everywhere and considerate guests). Ability to open windows is great for fresh air and A/C and heat worked well when we chose to use them.
Cons: A bocce court would be fun. Bread in the restaurant was like Wonderbread. Meh. Restaurant coffee was not good.

Beautiful historic inn
Pros: The staff were all excellent, friendly and helpful. Also liked the facility in general, beautiful and landscape upkeep was wonderful. The grounds and buildings were all just gorgeous.
The restaurant was also excellent, afternoon tea a delight and the place was decked out for Christmas and looked awesome. Would definitely come back.
Cons: The bed had one side that sloped downward towards the edge and could probably use replacing at least on that side. Would also recommend a different perfuming agent as the one that's used especially at first is very strong. Other than that the place is top notch !

Resort feel for hotel price!
Pros: Service was excellent by the entire staff. The hotel has a tremendous amount of history and has been well taken care of. It feels more like a resort than a hotel -- badminton, tennis, a great pool, and crocket. Prices for alcohol and food was very reasonable.
Cons: bathroom sink area is very small given the historic nature of the Inn but this would be my #1 place to stay in Tuscon.

Go ahead, make your day....
Pros: Breakfast was eggs-cellent (chortle), ordered on in-room I-pad, delivered promptly & consumed on the private patio (very romantic, but ya gotta ask for it). VERY large comfortable room w/very comfy bed and large bath. Staff was friendly, courteous and efficient. The hotel is casita style, with seriously thick walls & doors for that feeling of honeymoon privacy. Great pool. Beautiful, lushly landscaped grounds. No one builds them like this anymore. (Think El Tovar or Ahwanee) What's not to like?
Cons: OK, the location is not the best, BUT the Arizona Inn has been there since 1930, so whatcha gonna do? Once there, you really could care less where it is.

Pros: the rooms, grounds, were incredibly clean and lovely. The bed was very comfortable with multiple kinds of pillows. I received a fruit basket upon arrival and each day I was left little chocolates. Lovely thought and presentation in everything! They were gracious when I locked my room key inside.
Cons: I didn't realize my room was by the street. There was 1 morning that I was very aware of local construction. I would ask next time for a room away from the street if possible.
Staff was friendly but sometimes a little too formal.
