Hotel recommendations:
There are a lot of good lodging options around the University area. In general, we would recommend you to choose your lodging in the area that is east of 1st Ave and north of Broadway.
Below is a list of hotels in the vicinity of the University.
The first two, Marriott and Aloft, are bordering the University campus. It is an easy walk to the training location from these two hotels.
The 3rd and 4th recommendations in the list, Adobe Rose Inn and Arizona Inn, are two beautiful boutique hotels in Tucson. They are about 1.5 miles from the training site. It would be a short drive or a longer walk (about30 minutes).
The last two on the list are further away (about 4 miles) and you will need a rental car or ride-hailing services.

There are also a lot of Airbnbs available around the University area. They can provide you some alternative lodging options. The above mentioned general area for lodging (east of 1st Ave, north of Broadway) will still be a good guideline to follow.
