Well, different strokes for different folks. I had two main requirements for Tucson lodging. First, that it be a Hilton property, and second that it have free airport transportation. The Doubletree qualifies on both counts. Talk about Starwood or other properties no matter how great is not meaningful to me then. As a bonus, I love zoos and intend to slip in a trip to the Reid Park Zoo while I am there, and this location works. The hotel stays are just necessary stops before and after heading south to Patagonia. But, thanks for taking the time to give feedback.
