What guests think

Across reviews, Catalina Inn is praised for friendly staff, low prices, and a quiet, scenic location, but many note dated rooms with maintenance issues, inconsistent cleanliness, thin walls, and a very basic breakfast, with renovations ongoing.

Several guests reported door lock and security concerns and occasional pool or facility upkeep problems, though parking is generally easy. Many appreciate mountain views and proximity to local dining, but others were surprised by the distance from Tucson. Expect a budget stay with trade-offs.

Room felt neglected, water damage in the bathroom, loose tiles. Pillows are only half pillows, the tv also did not work. Carpet is worn out and your room key stops working on the exterior doors the night before check out. Thankfully I don’t think we’ll have to stay there again.

Dog poop stayed on the ground near the check in front door the 3 days I stayed. The pool area was a mess and underlayment outside flew around, which someone could trip on.

The staff was friendly and helpful and the place was clean and in good shape. No complaints there. My only real complaints are, 1) The pool was green with mosquito lava swimming in it. 2) The back entrance didn't lock, which is a bit of a security concern for me. 3) We got to breakfast about 8:30am and there was almost nothing there. Practically everything there were dry-goods and I can't see any good reason it couldn't have been better stocked all the way to 9:00am.

The Inn was under renovation, but we probably wouldn't have stayed there knowing that? I think eventually I will be a nice quaint little Inn in Catalina. The positives were that it was in a great location, there's wonderful Mexican food just a little further down the street on the same side of the motel. It's a beautiful view of the catalinas and very quiet.

The rooms were spotless and very comfortable, providing a relaxing and peaceful environment. It’s clear that the staff takes pride in keeping the place clean and well-maintained.

This property is in real need of attention. The room was reasonably clean except for the dust covers, they did not look clean. Carpets are old and worn, missing towel bar with holes in the wall. The door lock was not secure, door didn't close properly and so we used both the extra locks. Hallway carpets were rather dirty with dried mud. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Needs some TLC. Adequate for a night though.

We were very disappointed. As soon as we walked in we noticed there was dog food under a chair, and dead cockroaches. Later, we were laying on the bed watching tv and there was a cockroack crawling on my husband. When I walked in the bathroom there were more there. There were also some type of little flying bugs. The carpet outside the bathroom was also very wet. We were so disappointed.

The room was clean, but whatever they had cleaned with was so smelly we had to air it out. Several things in need of repair in the room.... the coffee maker was broken, the sink plug didn't work, and the toilet paper holders were out of whack. The hot food at breakfast was unrecognizable and selection was really slim, so we passed on eating there. But the bed was comfortable!

Super convenient to run the Tucson Marathon. However, the walls are very thin and I could hear conversations in the rooms on either side of mine. NOT loud conversations...just talking. Front desk staff very accommodating and let me arrange for late check out so I could come back and clean up after the run. I would stay here again but would recommend ear plugs and/or a noise machine.

We liked this hotel, however, it was not at all close to Mt Lemmon at all. We searched for a hotel close to the mountain and Google is incorrect. It was very disappointing because we drove a long way to see Mt Lemmon. I let the front desk attendant know and she said she did not know why it says that they are close because it’s an hour away. The room was clean and had a fridge and microwave, so that was nice. It does have plenty of parking as well. We probably wouldn’t have stayed here if we knew it was so far away from what we went to do, but the hotel itself was good.

It was a very nice property. The only drawback was it was advertised as being in Tucson. In fact it is 1/2 hour from the edge of town and almost an hour to mid town. Had to cancel the rest of our stay there rather than have an almost two hour commute to town and back every day. Should not be advertised as "In Tucson"

The Catalina Inn is in Catalina AZ not in Tucson AZ. The carpets on the stairs and hallway needed cleaning. I could hear our neighbors at night. We looked for hotels in Tucson when booking and the Catalina Inn was listed. The price was reasonable, but the distance to Tucson was further than we thought when we booked the hotel. The Catalina Foothills are lovely. However our destination was Tucson.

Only 3 raisin bagels and a couple plain left. Not 1 person came to check on the breakfast room once! The tables were used and unckean after previous customers. Horrible service.
