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.

Former school converted into a conference center and hotel. Quite large rooms have a unique character. Clean. Easy parking. Nice common area gardens and pleasant staff. No tv. Good wifi signal. Food availability minimal and no amenities. In-room fresh ground coffee a very nice touch and nice gift shop. Overall, an enjoyable, comfortable room and place and easily the best hotel in Ajo, albeit a high price for the area. Would stay here again.

Very Unique Stay

Amazing renovated school. Our room I think was a former classroom and it was HUGE, with high ceilings and very large windows. Plenty of space. Great courtyard where I strolled and watched hummingbirds. Nice gift shop with free coffee. This is really such a unique place. Would definitely stay here again.

Clean quiet facility. Only complaint was where my room was. At end of walkway, and was advertised as view of desert courtyards. All I saw was a wall.
