Baymont by Wyndham Tucson Airport
Everything was OK except for breakfast. Do not expect a good continental. There were just a couple of choices you can find elsewhere much better.

Desert Diamond Casino & Hotel
Definitely not what I thought it would be per reviews. Restaurants are lacking. Rooms are ok and kind of musty smelling. Won’t be back.
