August 26, 20196 yr Going end of September with the boy. Any good recs on hotels near campus? Lots of stuff is booked up right now.
August 27, 20196 yr Arizona Inn is the classic, timeless old school Tucson option that I highly recommend. Great rooms and restaurant and it's right near campus. Tucson does actually have a light rail so you can stay at any of the hotels downtown like Hotel Congress and ride in to campus.

Doesn’t look like the Arizona has any rooms that aren’t just one king bed. The boy is adamant, at 16, we have separate beds.

One option that's not super close to campus but it's still less than 30 minutes is to stay at one of the hotels in the Catalina Foothills. The one I recommend is Loews Ventana Canyon but there are a lot of great options. If you go to Loew's definitely do their Sunday brunch. One of the best spreads I've ever seen at a hotel.

Debating on doing Friday night in Phoenix and Saturday in Tucson. I hate not knowing kickoff times well in advance. It makes planning these things a pain in the ass.

What will traffic be like driving from Phoenix to Tucson around 3:30-4p on a Friday? My preference would be to get down there Friday so we have all day Saturday to do stuff and the game.

If you are driving straight through, I'd avoid Phoenix altogether and cut over on SR 85 (west of Phoenix) then south to the 8 and then over to the 10. If you are flying into Sky Harbor and then heading south, think of the 80% of the 405 at that time of day.
August 27, 20196 yr Author Booked the Marriott Starr Pass Resort. Most hotels were booked downtown. This will be mellow.
August 28, 20196 yr Starr Pass is a solid choice. Second only to the Ritz, but Dove Mountain is damn near halfway to Phoenix.
August 28, 20196 yr Stayed at the Westin La Paloma a few weeks ago for work. It was awesome and the pool was pretty legit
