This was a unique location in an old school. We slept in a large classroom. The location was perfect for our trip the next morning. It also seems like a great locatio for a conference.

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.
