THE ALICE HOTEL, Tucson

The Alice Hotel is situated right off Interstate 10, providing easy access for those traveling by car. The location is a 5-minute drive to downtown Tucson, near Arizona Stadium (6 km) and the Tucson Museum of Art (3 km). The area is close to the freeway, which means traffic noise is constant, especially in rooms facing I-10. For the Gem Show, the hotel is directly across from a main venue. Nearby dining within walking distance is limited, though a Waffle House is right next door and downtown dining options are a short drive. The surrounding neighborhood is considered sketchy by some, with a fenced and gated parking lot providing a sense of security. Congress Street is less than a 5-minute drive north.

The rooms, including suites, double, twin, and family rooms, showcase a modern, stylish remodel with crisp linens, comfortable beds, and plush towels. Each room features air conditioning, a flat-screen TV with streaming services, a tea and coffee maker, and a private bathroom with a walk-in shower. Many rooms include a dual shower head with great pressure. The rooms are clean and efficiently designed, though can be compact, especially for families. The property is adjacent to the I-10 freeway, making freeway-facing rooms significantly noisier; rooms on the back side of the hotel are quieter. Earplugs and excellent blackout curtains are provided to mitigate noise and light. The interior of the rooms are modern and tastefully decorated, but some rooms have had issues with the door locks not functioning correctly, requiring testing from the outside to confirm they are secure.

The Alice Hotel does not have a restaurant or provide breakfast, so guests should plan to eat out. A vending machine offering drinks and snacks is available on site, and a pastries station has been noted in the lobby in the mornings. The hotel is next door to a Waffle House for a quick meal, and other dining options are located a short drive away in downtown Tucson. For longer stays, the rooms include a mini-fridge and a Keurig coffee maker for basic in-room refreshments.

The Alice Hotel is in a state of renovation, and the planned leisure amenities, including a pool and a swim club, are not yet open. There is no fitness center, spa, or other dedicated leisure area on site. The hotel offers a clean and comfortable room experience for relaxation, but for recreation, guests will need to explore Tucson's downtown area, which is a short drive away.

Guests benefit from free, private, on-site parking, with no reservation needed. The 24-hour front desk provides flexibility for late arrivals, and daily housekeeping keeps rooms tidy. A guest laundry room with a washer and dryer is available. For pet owners, the hotel is pet-friendly with a non-refundable $50 fee per pet, per stay, with a limit of two pets up to 22.7 kg (reptiles and wild animals are not allowed). The property is accessible for wheelchair users, with lowered sinks, raised toilets, grab rails, and Braille visual aids. The property features gated and fenced parking with security cameras. The elevator is not operational, so guests must use the stairs to reach upper-floor rooms. Accepted payment methods include American Express, Visa, Discover, and MasterCard. An invoice can be provided for business travelers.
