Best Western Inn & Suites Tucson Foothills - Mobility Accessible/Two Room/Suite-1 King Bed, Walk-In Shower

Date of Visit: May 29-June 1, 2025

At the Best Western Inn & Suites Tucson Foothills, I booked us a Mobility Accessible Two-Room Suite with Walk-In Shower. We did get the room we booked, but upon entering it found the shower dripping, which initially did not bother me, but Mom then used the toilet and found the floor was all wet because it was of the style that floods the bathroom. Thus, before even bringing in our stuff, we went back to the front desk and ended up with the same room type non-accessible because the only other accessible option was with just one King bed.

Sofa bed living room area of Accessible Room

Bedroom area of Accessible Room

Accessible Bathroom - cannot roll up next to toilet due to shower

Accessible Bathroom - Roll Under Sink

Accessible Bathroom's Shower

Accessible Room's Shower - did not have handheld shower head

Bar Stools in Accessible Room were somewhat in way of coming into the room due to the kitchen area being wider than the non-accessible room.

Kitchen area of Accessible Room - Wider path than non-accessible room, but not sure if it has enough space for a wheelchair to turn around

Sofa bed living room area of regular room - we put the table in corner and I slept on the sofa without pulling it out as bed, so Mik had plenty of floor space (actually was also more comfortable this way than the thin mattress).

Bedroom area of the regular room

"Bathroom" Sink area in bedroom - Awkwardly, the toilet and shower part of bathroom is off the kitchen, so you have to go through living room and bedroom to get to it from bathroom. At least the kitchen sink is right outside bathroom for handwashing. 

Regular room's bathroom - the tub faucet was dripping here, too, but not a steady stream like the accessible room, so they definitely need to work on their plumbing throughout

Kitchen Area of Regular Room - made it clear the accessible room at least tried to be more accessible, but this layout at least mean the bar stools weren't in the way of coming into room because they did not end up out as far in the room.

In hindsight, we probably should have been more insistent on them just fixing that room or giving us 2 rooms, but really the accessible room would not have been any better because of the design Mik would not have been able to use the toilet himself. It just really awkward that to access the bathroom sink from the bathroom you had to go all the way around through the bedroom.

Mik enjoyed that the outside tables for breakfast were easy to roll up to. We also liked that you got a free drink and they had popcorn for Happy Hour every evening.

Overall Mik says this is a never again hotel, but really it was not bad. The rooms just show their age, but the staff was good and it worked out just fine for us even without an accessible room, although you do have to take some longer paths around to get to the rooms and breakfast due to the design of the first floor area and parking involving steps at some points. If it was priced similarly to the Hyatt Place, which I had almost chosen for this trip because when I first looked Best Western was only about $10 cheaper a night, then I would not stay here, but if I found it at half the price of the other hotel options like I randomly happened upon, then I certainly would stay here again.

Best Western Mission Inn - 2 Queen Accessible Tub

Date of Visit: May 28-29, 2025

After two nights of Hilton hotels, Best Western ended up being our choice the last night of the drive to Tucson as it was the cheapest and while Mom still had enough Hilton points for a place in Las Cruces the value was horrible at three times the point cost of the other two nights when the cost to pay cash was about the same price as if we had paid cash for the other places we had stayed on the trip and about $50 more than the Best Western.

Coming into the room was a little tight with the desk ending up close to where the door opens against the wall.

The room had two beds with not much space on ether side of the beds or maybe just enough in between for the wheelchair to go between them.

At the end of each bed was a wooden bench, which in theory is helpful for using as a luggage rack, but the one by the bathroom made it too narrow to wheel past the bed to the bathroom. It was not difficult for me to move and it fit between the window and the front bed out of the way, though.

There was a fridge and microwave. The wood door hid it and looked nice, but the cabinet door was very noisy creaking every time you opened and closed it.

The bathroom was okay size, but a little tight for getting the chair in and out. We did like the toilet paper was on the wall in front of the toilet because Mik always knocks the rolls off when they are under the grab bars (or has broken the holder when they are not open ended), but it is quite a reach and could be a problem for many others.

The tub did have a regular shower head and handheld shower head. I found it worked well for standing to take a shower. It does seem to be rather limited in grab bars, though, as there is only one at the front and none on the sides.

The sink was not a roll under.

Overall it worked for the night, but it was tight with not much floor space making Mik say we should not even consider this hotel on our way home. He did appreciate that the breakfast had a decent variety, though.

Hampton Inn & Suites Weatherford - 2 Queen Accessible Tub Review

Date of Visit: May 27-28, 2025

As much as Hilton brand hotels are our last choice, it ended up being the choice again this night of the road trip because we again were able to veto get a night for an accessible room using Mom’s Hilton points versus paying at least $125 elsewhere for a non-accessible room.

The 2 Queen Accessible Tub room was spacious with plenty of floor space between the beds and the TV/desk area. There was a mini fridge and microwave under the TV.

The bathroom had a barn door.

The bathroom worked good enough for Mik. I do not think he was able to get up on the toilet himself, but it was at least easy to maneuver and help him. It had a roll under sink.

The soap and lotion by the sink were mounted near edge of sink making them actually reasonably reachable unlike pretty much all other places I have seen them.

We did not use the tub/shower, but it did have a handheld shower head as well as regular mounted shower head. The toiletries were mounted above the grab bars near the shower head.

The breakfast was good with a decent variety of things including, of course, Texas shaped waffles you can make. Mik particularly enjoyed that they have a flavor of the month for the batter and it was cinnamon roll.

Overall this Hampton Inn worked well for us and was very convenient right off I-20. We would consider it again if this was the area we were stopping for the night.
