Website and notices in room about microwaveable frozen meals available are wrong, nothing available. When restaurant options are limited and they, as well as IGA, close earlier than most are used to, it’s disappointing and frustrating. Phone communication unreliable. Beautiful facility and town, more professional management here is called for.

The room is spacious and beautifully decorated. I especially enjoyed their book on Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument because I was going there the next day. It greatly enhanced my park experience.

This property is perhaps unique in that the hotel is cleverly transformed from a school building. Very comfortable and attractive rooms with large bathroom. Lovely central plaza with well kept garden. Simple breakfast available. Great option for breakfast is the Oasis Bakery on the city Plaza. The friendly town welcomes seniors.

Very pleasant and comfortable room. There's a nice sitting area and a small kitchen with microwave, fridge, toaster, coffee maker and sink. The bathroom was on the small side, but nicely appointed. Shower was great with good water pressure and spray width from shower head. Clearly the best choice to stay if you're visiting the area.

The facility is a converted old school, very sensitively done. With high ceilings generous rooms it feèls like something from another century. Ajo is a very small, poor community it lacks much in the way of restaurants it does have a combo grocery, Ace hardware - a couple of gas stations and a Laundromat be forwarned come prepared - power failed for 16 hours one day of our stay for the whole town, actually from Gila Bend all the way thru Ajo and Organ Pipes park to the Mexican border! No cards accepted being some cash.... Gas stations couldn't pump - everything shut down until the next day
