Hilton Vacation Club Varsity Club Tucson
Staff was friendly and helpful. Room was clean and was a very nice room. Unfortunately there was some kind of alarm that went off multiple times near our room. Once it woke us up at 5 am.

Hotel McCoy - Art, Coffee, Beer, Wine
A cool retro vibe with modern touches. We liked the art and murals throughout the property. The room was clean with blackout curtains and the bed was comfortable. As Gen Xers, we loved the little video game area and pinball lounge. We would stay again !
