Parking
Tiara Del Sol has garnered mixed reviews regarding its parking facilities with several positive aspects highlighted by guests. Many appreciated the ample parking space available, which ensures that finding a spot isn't a hassle. The hotel owner, Sami, is commended for his warm hospitality, enhancing the overall experience. Animals like deer and turkeys are occasionally spotted around the parking lot, adding a unique charm to the stay.

However, guests have noted several challenges, especially concerning the uphill drive to the hotel. Navigating this path can be tricky, particularly in snowy or icy conditions. For those planning a visit during the winter months, a four-wheel drive vehicle is advisable.

Improvements are needed, such as better outdoor lighting and the addition of handrails on deep steps. Some guests also remarked on the overall need for property updates and requested assistance with luggage. Despite these issues, the drive up the mountain and the unique wildlife encounters make for a memorable aspect of staying at Tiara Del Sol.

Situated just 30 minutes away from Apache ski resort and near the Inn of the Mountain Gods, it provides convenient access to the slopes.
