What guests think

Reviews of Arizona Inn consistently praise its historic charm, lush gardens, and relaxing atmosphere, with many guests highlighting a beautiful pool, friendly staff, and a quiet, tucked-away feel near the university.

Rooms are often described as spacious and comfortable with classic decor, though some guests note dated furnishings, occasional noise near recreational areas, weak Wi-Fi, and a few smaller or darker rooms. Dining receives frequent praise for quality and ambiance, but the main dining room can be seasonally closed, service may be slow at times, and one guest reported getting sick after a meal. Expect a character-filled, resort-like stay with classic amenities and some age-related quirks.

Croquet, clay court tennis, badminton, ping pong, pool & chess. Excellent service, abundance of privacy, peaceful, relaxing, warm & welcoming staff, and the glorious African Room/Library! The Arizona Inn is an absolute gem. Once you’ve been a guest, you won’t want to stay anywhere else.

Room had musty odor. Furnishings look like someone grandparent’s house. Bathroom floor was dirty. Grounds were nice. Staff very nice. Bartender friendly. Liked the free parking and layout of property. Wifi sucked. Rooms/baths need to be updated.

Beautiful hotel. Stayed for 3 nights in a room with patio-mostly private patio. Nice pool-cold water, towels and sunscreen provided. Cushioned lounge chairs and cushioned chairs for shaded area with tables. Ping pong and croquet games available. Ping pong table was close to my room so was a bit loud, but it was happy loud, lots of laughing. Coffee in library was great! Main restaurant closed during summer but bar restaurant was open. A bit pricey and food wasn’t the best-no salt added so was a bit bland. Pianist was a nice touch. Overall-4/5 stars. Had a bit of an old building with previous water damage smell inside room. There were ants & lizards outside. There is a bit of a silver fish issue inside room. Otherwise I loved it and will probably stay again!

The photos of the Arizona inn rooms and property do NOT do the place justice. It’s a true gem and the staff are just as lovely. The place was built in the 1920’s and yet the grounds and room were both more spotless than most newly built hotels! You will not be disappointed in your stay at the Arizona Inn!

I liked the beautiful grounds. The food was excellent . The gift shop very nice. I was paying $800 for two nights. They put us in a terrible room the first night. I expressed disappointment and they put us in a better room the second night but I still paid $400 for a terrible room— small, dark and dingy. Left bad taste~ won’t go back and not sure Intrust Expedia !

The patio is my favorite place to dine, but there is no sign that says seat yourself. That would make it easier for guests. In addition, the food runners need to take a beat to allow the guests to see if they received the correct order because the servers don’t reappear until long after the food has been served. My only negative comments, but in a hotel of this quality, these should be rectified.

The property itself is lush and beautiful. The room was comfortable, clean, and relaxing. I dined at the restaurant and ordered a hamburger and fries, along with a creme brulee to enjoy later in my room. Unfortunately, a few hours later, I experienced stomach cramps and became unwell, which was due to the hamburger and fries. I had been looking forward to that sweet treat. But left the creme brulee in the refrigerator untouched as I did not want to get any sicker. This discomfort prevented me from sleeping soundly. I am uncertain if the food was somehow contaminated or if proper hygiene practices were not followed.
