It was formerly the Royal Elizabeth Bed & Breakfast, long listed in gay travel guides, and has kept the same building under the new name. Google reviewers rate it 4.8 from just over 200 reviews. It's a few minutes' walk from Congress Street and the Rialto, and the Sun Link streetcar runs to the 4th Avenue bars. Room count is small, so book early for winter.

We can not give this place enough stars!! From the first time I called to confirm the Reservation an ask questions, to when we arrived and were greeted by the amazing Amy, the most wonderful host and historian of the property. To the hospitality, the breakfast in the morning to the check out, EVERYTHING was 5 stars! The property is absolutely beautiful, amenities, pool, etc..We were in town for the Ringo Starr show and they made everything so easy, so welcoming and so comfortable! THIS is what a B&B experience is supposed to be and we will most certainly be staying here again very soon!!! Thank you so much to the staff and we can't recommend this beautiful gem enough!!!!

I drove from San Diego in the morning so I could attend a wedding that evening. I arrived early and they let me check in early. WOW, the hostess already had snacks and cookies available. This was very much appreciated after my 6 hour drive. My room was extremely clean, charming and comfortable and I was able to relax before heading to the wedding. Thanks for the wonderful hospitality.

We rate our stay at Blenman very highly with 5 stars. Amy (Innkeeper) did a terrific job making us comfortable and all the staff were friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay here again.

Intimate, delightful old-world charm. Attention to detail. Meticulous, friendly service. Wonderful, “home-feel” with pool, yet downtown Tucson. Could not think of another place to stay when visiting the area. We will definitely return in 2027. Gyuri & Roxane

My husband and I had a beautiful stay at the Blenman Inn. Both Casey and Amy were wonderful hosts. Both were very informative and friendly and went out of their way to ensure all our questions were answered and provided fun conversation when we were in the common areas of the Inn. We loved our accommodations including the pool/spa area. We pretty much walked everywhere and took advantage of the breakfast vouchers the Inn offers (although, the continental breakfast provided looked amazing!). We highly recommend 5points! We also had a chance to meet one of the owners and her cutie pup. We felt very comfortable and enjoyed the more personable experience from staying at a Bed and Breakfast vs hotel. We look forward to a return stay. --Travys and Angel Gold

The Blenman Inn is a stunning historic property, and the people who work there capture the spirit of hospitality. The Blenman has been one of my favorite stays at an inn, and I highly recommend it. I included more details in the sections below, but seriously. SERIOUSLY. If you like meeting new people when you travel and appreciate cool architecture and good vibes, you will NOT regret booking here.
