What a wonderful stay at a beautiful Hilton property. We chose this location during our first visit to Tucson for its proximity to the airport - a five-minute drive, including the traffic lights. The energy here is inviting and upbeat. The lobby fireplace greeted us with warmth as we returned on chilly evenings after a day of exploring. The front desk attendants - day and night - were always welcoming and helpful. The hotel was spotless clean, both in the common areas and in our room. Housekeeping comes every other day here, unless you request more frequent service. They never rushed us out, but rather waited until we informed the front desk that we were leaving for the day before they entered. We requested a king room on a high floor, away from the elevators to ensure a quiet stay. This turned out to be a fortunate request because there was no insulation under the door to the hallway, and we could clearly hear other guests talking in normal voices. Fortunately no one came or left during sleep hours, so we weren't disturbed. The bed was especially comfortable, as always at Hilton hotels. I have to mention a particularly excellent feature here compared to every other Hilton property I've ever booked - the pillows. I've been complaining for years that the pillows are too soft, but at this location we had both soft and firm options. Best sleep I've ever experienced at any Hilton anywhere, thanks to the firmer pillow. The standard wi-fi was excellent speed, and a large desk made a comfortable work space for my laptop. The room was also furnished with a comfy side chair (an ottoman would have been a nice touch), as well as plentiful lamps and electrical outlets for charging devices. We really liked the Keurig coffee maker. The room was spacious and we had plenty of floor space for luggage and personal items. Counter space in the bathroom was expansive, which worked well because we had a pile of toiletries lined up for a week-long stay. Other amenities included blackout blinds, a microwave and mini-refridge, full-length mirror and full-size closet with an iron/board and luggage rack. The hotel offers laundry service, and there's also a guest laundry room if you'd rather do your own. The shower pressure was phenomenal. If I'd stood there long enough, my skin might have peeled off. I would have enjoyed a bathtub for soaking tired feet after a day of routing, rather than a double shower stall. I did appreciate the wall dispensers for personal care products, as opposed to single use plastics. The bathroom lacked a nightlight though, which turned getting up in the middle of the night into a complicated mission. We didn't try the restaurant because there were no organic/non-GMO menu options. We'd really appreciate it if Hilton could add some organic snack and drink offerings to their pantry. We drove to Sprouts anytime we needed something to nibble on. Other than the few minor hiccups we encountered as mentioned above, our stay was absolutely lovely. We wouldn't hesitate to book here again the next time we visit Tucson.
