Hilton Vacation Club Varsity Club Tucson
The beds were great. Nice pillows. We were in a two bedroom. That is an awesome convenience. Pool was great and really like the games available. Pool, shuffle board, chess, checkers, ping pong. Only downside was this time we had a road facing room and the traffic noise is loud.

Hotel McCoy Tucson - Art, Coffee, Beer, Wine
Not your typical hotel property. Very easy on the eyes and vibe; color and art everywhere. Water station, ice, a welcome cocktail, nice pool, and a free oatmeal bar for breakfast! Next time I'm trying the tamales.
