This was a pleasant surprise for the price. I stayed in the New Orleans room. It was a beautiful room, extremely clean, extremely comfortable, and a very relaxing atmosphere. Not what I am used to form Tucson room experiences. Thank You, and God Bless!

Stayed in Tucson Room it was clean & comfortable. Parking & check in was easy & convenient. Two suggestions-ceiling fan in room is very noisy needs to be balanced. Bistro lights in the courtyard need to be dimmed or turned off at night. Even with the blinds closed our room was super bright all night.

Very nice little inn walkable to downtown Tucson, great dining and shops. The property is well-maintained and the communication with the management is fine. There is no front desk. Check-in instructions are thorough and sent to you by text 30 minutes before check-in. This property is suitable for singles or couples not for our families. I would stay here again.

Hidden Gem

Tucked away in a residential neighborhood, the El Amador Inn is a hidden gem! Each room is truly unique with period decor, artwork, high ceilings and a gorgeous chandelier! Comfortable, quiet with a wonderful courtyard and gated parking. Easy walking to restaurants and the trolley! Looking forward to our next visit!
