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.

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.

10/10 Exceptional

The property was very charming. It is a repurposed old elementary school. The room was very large and laid out nicely, lighting was unique. I especially enjoyed the courtyard with seating areas and lovely landscaping. Ajo is a small community, a former copper mining town (the mine closed in 1985). We ate at Agave Grill, food was good and staff very friendly.
