What guests think

At Holiday Inn Express Tucson-Airport by IHG, reviews commonly highlight clean rooms and friendly staff, while ongoing renovations and occasional maintenance problems—such as AC, showers, and loud bathroom fans—temper otherwise comfortable stays.

Breakfast is often described as good with decent variety, though a few guests found it limited or not ready.

Overall, expect a practical airport stopover with some renovation-related trade offs.

I liked how accessible the property is. I loved the service, and the staff were amazing. However, had I known that the renovations were in work during my stay, I would have booked somewhere else. That information should have been available on Expedia so customers can make informed choices. Also, the renovation is more of a remodel. Mostly cosmetic upgrades and updates. The bathroom light and fan are still on the same switch instead of separate switches, and the fan is like having a little jet engine whining above your head while sitting on the toilet. It's 2025, and still no smart tv or shower wand. If those doesn't bother you, then you'll probably be alright.

Not impressed at all. Clerk at check in was dismissive. Absolutely no parking available- had to park all the way in the back very far away from the doors. Room was subpar, seems fancy with the touch less keypad, but that's the only thing impressive. One working outlet by the bed, hole in the wall by the bed, scuff marks on the walls, fan and a/c barely functional. Breakfast was as expected. Eggs and sausage and let down of highly watered down juice and broken down waffle machines. Overall, the hotel looks good at first glance, disappointment to follow.

Property is under renovations which was not stated on their site. We had to reset the air conditioner in the living area of the suite because it wasn’t working and neither was the thermostat. Got extremely hot. Wires were hanging out from baseboard and not secured. Fans didn’t work. Light switches didn’t work on the walls. Carpet is old and not very clean. Pool not well taken care of. Worst Holiday Inn I have ever stayed at.

I liked that it was very clean and in great condition. Also, check-out was awesome. King size bed was comfortable. The handle was very hard to pull for shower. Breakfast was not ready. It said at 6:30 on weekends. No hot breakfast, only coffee, bread & fruit…very disappointing. Staff were not around. Lights were off in the dining area. In addition, restaurants were very far away.

The bed was very comfortable, and the breakfast was good. They do need to update their pet fee on Expedia, which was $20 more than expected. Still cheaper than many other options, but it did catch me off guard. Location was good, and despite being close to the airport, the room did not let in a lot of sound or light.

Such a lovely room, the whitest duvet covers and towels all making the room so bright and clean. Not a single bit of dust anywhere. Breakfast was my favorite with the cheese omelets, turkey and pork sausages along with all the other usual choices. Everyone working there smiled and some engaged us in conversation, making our stay feel as if we're with family. I know you had little if anything to do with it, but out in back of the hotel we spotted a male and female Great Horned Owl couple sitting together in a tree. Score!

The room was clean, albeit with a bit wear and tear. The staff were friendly. My main issue was with security. Someone attempted to open a rack that was fixed on out truck and we found they cut the straps and tried to pry into the rack. We approached the staff who did not attempt to either find video of the event as well as did not call us when the manager returned to the desk. There are alot of vaxant lots nearby where homeless live. Would reccommend staying somewhere else if you are travelling with valuables until the hotel can get their security issue figured out.

I arrived late and the door to the hotel was locked. As I waited, a van pulled up with airline employees. When they came through the double doors, they spoke, but the hotel employee did not. Once she opened the door she immediately attended to the airline employees and not me who had been waiting. I recieved no apology, no explanation and was told she would help me at the other end of the counter while she attended to the airline staff. It was very off-putting not to have been greeted or given an explanation. It was also dangerous for me to stand outside trying to reach a hotel employee that late at night. There was no note, no automatic telephone response and no one answering the phone. Once I was checked in, she didn't even offer me water as a way of acknowledging the oversight. Complete fail. The main line phone should have routed to an automated message, to an answering service, or a live person should have picked up. Or, if someone had to do a pick up, other staff should have been at the front desk. Completely irresponsible to leave the front desk unattended or unavailable for travelers arriving after a late evening flight.

We had a very good experience at this hotel, we were there to see the Saguaro National Park and friends in Sierra Vista before we drove to Grand Canyon so this was perfectly positioned for us to get to all of these places without having to drive through town traffic. Service was excellent at the hotel. It was quiet, it was comfortable, it was clean, I felt safe and breakfast was good. Would definitely stay here again.
