This is a high quality hotel. Only discomfort came because the AC system in our room was unable to cool room enough for it to be comfortable.

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.
