Hotel near Reid Park reborn as La Quinta Inns & Suites

Dated, 60s-style comforters, dark green walls and old light fixtures marked the inside of the former Randolph Park Hotel and Suites.

After a yearlong closure for a top-to-bottom, $4.5 million renovation, the building at 102 N. Alvernon Way has reopened as a bright and modern La Quinta Inns & Suites.

We made the conscious decision to close the hotel so we could more effectively renovate it, said Jerry Fischer, president of Desert Hospitality Management.

The company manages the property for Humberto Lopezs HSL Properties, which owns it.

Fischer expects a 70-percent occupancy rate once the hotel has its grand opening at the end of February.

The hotel is now open to the public, though there is some ongoing construction.

We wanted to get the doors open, get people in, and get to doing business, general manager Amy Wilcox said.

Thanks to La Quintas location, guests have access to a variety of activities in midtown Tucson.

Nearby, there are Reid Park and Reid Park Zoo, Randolph Golf Complex, El Con Mall with its shopping, food and movie theaters and 12 restaurants, all within walking distance.

The university and the Tucson Medical Center are also just 3 miles away.
