Spacious rooms, great place on way to Organ Pipe

Loved our stay at the Sonoran Desert Inn and Conference center in Ajo! We came on our way to Organ Pipe National Monument. Everyone staying there and the staff were super friendly. There was coffee in the Coyote room. The rooms were spacious and a welcome luxury on our trip hiking in the southwest. Even though it was cold outside, there was heat in the rooms. The whole place was charming and community-oriented. Tip for city goers: My husband had espresso around the corner at Curley’s coffee and a yummy sticky bun.

The property was hard to maneuver around by car and some of the things were dated. Like some plumbing and the door lock. All of these things are fixable the most important thing was how welcoming the staff was and the quietness of the surrounding area. Everyone was respectful and friendly.

Fabulous historic property, with modern touches. We stayed in an old school room, with modern updated. New bathrooms. Ajo was a fun town, great pizza place in town, fun center square and great visitor center. Nice 1-2 day visit.
