What guests think

At JW Marriott Tucson Starr Pass Resort, travelers praise the scenic desert setting, friendly staff, and the standout pools and lazy river, while some note older rooms, occasional cleanliness lapses, and high costs for dining, parking, and resort fees.

Families find plenty to do, but holiday periods can feel crowded and some facilities close for events. Dining feedback ranges from excellent to limited or bland, with occasional cold room service. The remote setting offers access to trails but few nearby alternatives, so it suits travelers planning to stay on property.

Facilities

Pools, the lazy river, and the slide are a highlight, with cabanas, firepits, and on-site activities like e-bikes and hikes noted. However, pools can be crowded or closed for events at times, and parking is paid, confusing, or a long walk.

We did choose to stay on the 4th of July which probably was a bad idea, the pools were way over crowded and the cleanliness wasn’t the best, rules definitely weren’t being followed, people taking the lazy river rafts to their chairs so others couldn’t use and the trash being left as they were floating around the river, there also should’ve been someone regulating at the bottom of this slide clearing people out of the way so kids could come out safely, people were letting kids dive into that area and swim around which could’ve turned out badly

Loved the fact that restaurants and lazy river are close by. Did not like that we were not told of the pool being closed for a special event. We were unable to utilize the pool during our stay.

This place was awesome. We hiked and golfed in the mornings, rented a poolside cabana in the afternoons, had a pre-dinner drink at their patio happy hour and then ate at their restaurants at night. It was all top notch. Passagio was our favorite restaurant. Two meals there were outstanding.

All the food I have had here at the poolside restaurant and evening dining options is excellent, and I love that there is a Starbucks on site as well! The firepits with live music at night, and e-bikes (included in resort stay) were an added bonus! Will definitely be back!

This place sucks. It's worn out, dirty and poorly managed. 5-star resort? This is the Motel 6 of Marriott properties. Only positive is the front desk hospitality. The gal that checked us in was friendly, efficient and helpful. Room is garbage for the price. Outdated, visible wear on the nightstands and TV armoire/dresser. Water never really gets hot, just lukewarm. They have gone bargain basement with shampoo and the like; no individual units and what they have in their refillable bottles is absolute trash. And what's the deal with no real door on bathrooms these days? Barn doors, especially poorly installed barn doors, are just plain stupid. Mattress is rock hard, too. Pool area is a joke. So bad we didn't even bother the next day. Dirty, dirty, dirty. We went late evening, and there were no clean towels that were easy to access (or folded), half empty cups, used towels and trash randomly strewn about, and it was ridiculously dark throughout the pool area. My girlfriend stubbed her toe on a concrete curb because of the lack of lighting. Pools are funky. Lots of paper and random crap in the lazy river, weird stuff touching my feet in the hot tub, and trash in the bottom of the pools. EVERY SINGLE TABLE in the courtyard area was dirty. Whether it be cup rings, spills, empty glasses or dishes, nothing was being maintained. 5 Star resort folks. And they charge for that "privilege" nightly. The long and short is you'd have a better experience at a well run Hampton Inn.

When approaching front desk, the personnel has been absent more often than not. Room service was inconsistent, and the room is not clean every day.

First day we got there, the pool was filthy and cloudy. Our shower looked like it hadn’t been washed in a long time. There were bugs in the room and it smelled musty. I also had to make an issue about the breakfast buffet I pre paid for through Expedia’s booking. Poolside service was slow, by the time we got our drinks we had to head back to the room, the girl never came back with our check and we waited, my husband even stayed behind to wait longer. Super frustrating this time around and we visit every year.

I stated only 3 stars, due to feeling a bit out of place with the staff, I did not like the looks on some of their faces. There is no clear explanation about the parking fee hourly; my second person on the reservation that I added wasn't told the cost. parking was comped for my parking, but I'm very grateful, but that is something you must tell someone, especially for the second guest added. As well the biggest issue I really had was at breakfast, I wasn't given the comp card, so I had to wait about 15 -20 minutes witch made my second guest extremely late for work, I was told you just get my last name and room number, I was told after giving that information I wasn't on the list. my last issue was I upgraded very easily but the key wasn't made, so I had to take myselfplus all my belongings with my 2 kids all the way back from floor 8. Hated that. The room was beautiful, but the entertainment center did not work, it had all types of plug ins, but nothing was powering up. The resort is for for families, but no tv channels for children at ll, that was a let down for the children guest also left me as a guest with more than 2 kids in the room very furious, I understand getting out is key but when resting I at least wanted television for the children entertainment. The staff impacted how my second guest on my reservation.

The service was exceptional. Staff was very patient. I got lost coming from the self parking garage and i spoke to the assistant signature manager, susan schireman. She personally escorted me to the proper elevator. When i got to my room later, she had left a gracious note and complimentary food to apologize for my trouble. I had never experienced such service. Not only from her, but from the outdoor pool restaurant, firepit service and indoor restaurant, it was clear that the staff was professional and provided incredible service. Been to numerous hotels and this was by far the best in service provided.

I don’t often select the extra cost of a resort for a single night stay, but I’m so glad I did in Tucson. The location of the JW Marriott is perfect; surrounded by saguaro and accessible trails. The resort fee included e-bike rentals, a guided hike and more. The staff at the front desk & restaurant were very kind and helpful. I’ll be enjoying a late checkout with a little extra resort time.
