Family friendly Hotels in Catalina Foothills

My wife and I stayed eight nights at this property. Here is a summary of the pros and cons: Pros: Check-in was efficient Very comfortable king bed Breakfast is commensurate with other Homewood Suites we have stayed (typical breakfast consists of fresh fruit salad, breakfast potatoes, omelet, sausage links, pastries, waffles or oatmeal, and juices/coffee) Heated salt water pool was clean and enjoyable to use Hot tub adjacent to the pool was clean and enjoyable to use Two gas grills are in good repair; I grilled ribeye steaks one evening – turned out great! Two-burner stovetop allowed us to cook three meals in the room (burners are small, so you need to keep rotating food from edges of pan to center and vice versa) Housekeeping service, offered every four days at present time due to covid precautions, was thorough Onsite laundry facilities worked well ($1.75 per load in washer and $1.75 per load in dryer) Cons: We reserved a pool overview room, but none where available at check-in, then we were given a ‘mountain view’ facing to the east (the mountains are to the north) The evening social is only offered on Wednesdays – not necessarily a true con, but something to be aware of when you are used to Homewood Suites in Ohio/Tennessee/Kentucky/Indiana/Iowa that provide the evening social Mon-Thurs; the Wednesday evening social consisted of the following choices: a cabernet or chardonnay wine, Dos Equis or Coors Light beer, fresh carrots/broccoli/cucumber slices and ranch dressing, a mixed green salad, minestrone soup, and bread sticks Upon checking into the room, we found the dishwasher filled with dirty dishes We didn’t hear any noise from the breezeway or our adjoining suite; however, the noise from the suite directly above ours was vivid – guests simply walking in the suite above our created ‘trembling’ in our walls Bathroom shower grout was cracked and in quite bad repair (see photos)

The overall design of the hotel is great, and every place has been carefully designed. The hotel is built on a hill with a natural waterfall that is said to protect more than 30 endangered species. There is a golf course in front, a swimming pool in the back, a bar and gym facilities, and many golfers come on weekends. We booked a big bed room without breakfast, the room is 45 square meters, very spacious
