Hotel close to the university and close to restaurants that were walkable. The room was lovely , but the AC was very noisy.

I was visiting my daughter at the University of Arizona and had a very nice stay at the Marriott. My room was very clean. The bedding and mattress were very comfortable. I would definitely stay here again.
