Thanks in advance,

There is a Clarion and a Best Western ans soon as you leave the airport. Your best bet is not to stay at a hotel in this area. There are some hotel on Speedway that are pretty decent. I'm a native Tucsonan let me know if I can help.

If you are looking forward to the luxury of Canyon Ranch, anything around the Tucson airport is sure to be a big disappointment. I would probably recommend the Fairfield Inn @ I-10 and Irvington, just a few miles from the airport. I have stayed there and it fills the bill if you just need a basic but clean & comfortable room.

There is a strip of about 8 motels right outside the airport--you could walk, they're that close. I've stayed at the Clarion and the Fairfield, and found them basically acceptable--clean and quiet and safe. My unscientific impression is that they're all about the same in quality and price; none of them are fancy, but none are dives, either. I liked the Clarion best, because it was fully enclosed --I hate open-air walkways--and had a bar/restaurant that was serviceable. (There aren't any other restaurants at all within walking distance. It isn't a dangerous neighborhood, just a featureless one.)) So as long as you're not expecting anything special, I'd say go with the Clarion. (And enjoy Canyon Ranch!!)

I hate to correct someone, but the area around the airport isn't all that safe. If your going to stay there keep your eyes open. I love Tucson, lived here for over thirty years and I can pretty much tell you if your going to the Canyon Ranch, you won't like the area around the airport.

azgirl-is Canyon Ranch so far that they might simply consider continuing on-I would think there would be a 24hr desk.
I agree with you-things have changed in my hometown, but not by the airport!
If I stayed there-I think I might go in to the Holiday Inn (no open walkways) and stay there 'til dawn.
Happy Trails!
