Pretty chill place to stay. Courtyard and gardens were neat. Lots of mining history in the area and nice to go walk around.

This hotel is such a gem in Ajo. Room was comfortable and location is nice and quiet. The in-room fridge and microwave help with meals and the coffee in the morning is great! I also love the gift shop in the office!

8/10 Very good

Spacious and clean room with nice amenities and opening windows. We were able to check in 2 hours early. The coffee was outstanding.
Susan, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Unique experience in converted school. Be prepared for no TV, no Electric Car Charger, no pool, and skimpy cell service. In short, a fantastic place to disconnect from the world and reconnect with yourself. Great staff, clean room.
Robbin, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This property is not your average hotel, it is a retreat/convention facility. Not a problem, it's just different. The place is clean, comfortable, and the staff was friendly.

Again, it was nice to stay where I went through grades 1 - 3 and have the room next to where my Mother taught first grade! Also, this was down the street from where our home was at 531 Lomita! MANY MEMORIES

These little guys greeted me Saturday evening at 8:00pm!
My mother’s school room was old #45, before you got to the playground.

Stayed here once, got my door code, checked in no issue. Tried to stay here a second time, got no code, no access to a room, but still charged 350 for two days stay.

First time staying here. Great staff, very friendly and helpful.The rooms were great and the beds were very comfortable. Really clean rooms with great coffee. I loved the courtyard and the little desert animals that visit. Would definitely recommend this place especially to big groups looking to stay together. Will be back soon. courtyard
