    Unique property in a great location!
    • Leisure trip

    • One-Bedroom House
    • Stayed 1 night

    The bathroom door had to be kept closed at night due to a slightly offensive odor (old drainage system?). The property was so filled with antiques that we really didn't feel fully comfortable anywhere except the bedroom. Even when sitting at the dining table, we felt that we shouldn't move the placemats, tablecloth, centerpiece, etc. Other than the slight discomfort, I would not stay at this property again because it is too "over the top."

    Well, this was certainly a surprise stay! We stayed in a beautifully appointed 1-bedroom home dating from 1897, complete with period furniture and paintings. The property looks clean but "ordinary" from the outside, and then once we entered, my jaw dropped to the floor - I was expecting luxury, but not an entire home, with chandeliers, a lovely fireplace, a fully functional kitchen, and Victorian furnishings throughout. We had a wonderful stay and slept well in the queen-sized bed with antique headboard and footposts. Would recommend to anyone who wants a unique experience.

    All good.

    We loved this place! Close to downtown so easy to get to restaurants nearby, yet just enough out of the center to be quiet. The room was comfortable and grounds were great for spending time outside and relaxing.

    Great little well kept, quiet spot!

    The only thing I didn't care for was the QR codes for everything. Learn how to use the TV - here's a QR code. Hook up to WIFI? - QR Code. A note would have been sufficient because I really hate QR codes. The overwhelming smell of Fabuloso - I'm overly sensitive to cleaners etc. though. I also was not entirely sure about what to do for check out.

    The El Amador is a nice little hidden gem near downtown. Everything was very clean and the communication was great! The courtyard is nice and clean with spots to just hang out and relax. I would not hesitate to send friends or family here to stay. Everything looks like it was fairly recently built and appears pretty solid. The rooms have adequate space and there aren't a ton of knick-knacks taking up space to that was nice. The linens were all clean and tidy - The soap was free of perfumes and dyes so that was also very nice since I'm allergic to most things.

    Its not a hotel, so there's no place to leave your luggage before the afternoon checkin. There was no safe in the room. The operators offered to install one, however it never happened during my stay. There was no daily servicing. (or if you required it then there was an extra charge)

    Location was very close to main tram line. Each room is a self contained unit opening up to the shared landscaped area.

    There was no comfortable place to sit in the room, other than the bed. The bed was very tall and could have benefited from a stool on one side. It was challenging to get on and off the bed for someone short.

    Love the historic charm and character of the inn; comfortable bed, roomy bathroom and wonderful outdoor spaces. It was convenient to downtown.

    Would have liked a bigger bathroom. Pedestal sink in bedroom was a bit inconvenient and separate room for toilet and shower are small. A king size bed would also be better. The space was big enough for one.

    The Downtown Suite is an apartment with full size kitchen, dining room, living room and bedroom with attached bath. Very spacious with lots of antiques. Excellent location for the Tucson Jazz Festival events.

    LOVED the property layout. Our room was a large bedroom with attached bathroom. Beautifully decorated and maintained at a high standard. Common area had at least two firepits, lots of seating available and beautifully decorated. There was a grill available as well. Private parking area, well-lit and secure. Wifi available on premises. Very close to downtown, walking distance to Rialto Theatre.

    Best place to stay in Tucson, hands down.

    The only issue, and it was a minor one, was there was no heating in the bathroom. It would have have been nice to have some way to heat the bathroom other than leaving the bathroom door open. But this did not detract from the five out of five rating.

    Everything about El Amador was excellent-location, price, cleanliness, security, extras, the decor, the fire pit, etc. The inn is within four minutes of walking along the famous Congress Street shopping/dining area. The attentiveness of the staff was wonderful. The TV went out on Friday night at 920pm during a movie. The call to the front desk was immediately picked up and within 3 minutes a staff member showed up to the room, did some trouble shooting and had the TV back to normal by 930pm. I highly recommend this inn to anyone and I will always use El Amador when I am in Tucson.
