Top McKale Center Hotel Reviews

Hotel McCoy Tucson - Art, Coffee, Beer, Wine

10/10 Excellent

"When we pulled an drove around, a gentleman came out an let us know we could not park bike in front an directed us where to park, it was not a friendly greeting at all. When we got inside to check in he was at bar drinking a beer. He wasn't the person that checked us in. I loved the room so different, you'll have to look up hotel an see the art work an the hotel itself. I loved the hotel look itself. Thr room appeared to be very clean, when my husband got ready to take a shower he called me in the bathroom to show me how black the bottom of the tub was. He cleaned it an went on with his shower. These two things would not stop me from staying again. Really a unique little place to stay. The set up was great. An I liked code on phone to get in rooms. No card to keep up with."

The Leo Kent Hotel, Tucson, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"What a fabulous hotel. Every member of the staff we encountered were super friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. The Valet Service was great and super easy to request our car when we needed it again. The food was amazing! Both my sister and I really appreciated the bench in our room right as you walked in. We would sit and take our shoes off there and it really made a difference for us. The refrigerator in our room was really cool and roomy. We will definitely stay here again!"
