HOMEWOOD SUITES TUCSON ST. PHILIP'S PLAZA UNIVERSITY, Tucson

The hotel is within a 15-minute drive of downtown Tucson and 6 km from the University of Arizona and the Arizona State Museum. St. Philip's Plaza is directly adjacent, providing a variety of restaurants, a coffee shop, and a weekend market. A bike loop is accessible from the rear parking lot, and the hotel can store bikes in the front office overnight. The area is considered safe, though evenings can bring live music from the plaza. For downtown or U of A visits, note that the hotel is set at a distance from these areas, making a car or the free shuttle service practical.

All rooms offer air conditioning, heating, a 42-inch flat-screen TV, ironing facilities, and tea/coffee. Some suites provide a pool view or patio, while others feature a roll-in shower or bathtub with rails for accessibility. Hearing-accessible rooms include visual alarms and notification devices. Rooms facing the road or plaza may experience noise from traffic or evening music; pool-side suites are generally quieter. For guests with mobility concerns, far-reaching rooms may be less convenient. The property's age means some furniture and carpets may show wear, but many suites still provide good space and comfort.

Breakfast is a buffet-style offering with hot items (eggs, bacon, hash browns), waffles, fruit, cereals, and juices. The on-site restaurant 'Restaurant #1' serves breakfast. Kitchenettes in every suite allow guests to prepare their own meals, and a picnic area with BBQ facilities and outdoor furniture is available. St. Philip's Plaza offers additional dining options within a short walk, including Union Public House, Proof Artisanal Pizza & Pasta, and Ren Coffeehouse.

The outdoor swimming pool is open 365 days a year and heated to 28.9 °C during cooler months. Sun loungers and pool/beach towels are provided. A hot tub/jacuzzi with working jets is also available. The fitness centre is free to use. For outdoor activity, the adjacent St. Philip's Plaza offers a walking trail, and the property's garden and picnic area provide additional relaxation space.

Parking is free and does not require a reservation, with accessible spaces provided. A complimentary shuttle service can assist with local trips. The 24-hour front desk offers express check-in/check-out and luggage storage. A business centre with fax/photocopying and meeting/banquet facilities is available for an additional charge. Laundry and dry cleaning are also offered for a fee. Pets are allowed under 15.9 kg with a $75 fee per stay. The property is wheelchair accessible with a lift and key card access for security.
