No on-site dining. No ice bucket in room. National Park was great and this is the best alternative to driving the 3 hours back to Tucson after a long, hot hike.

We love the mix of contemporary decor (paint color choices, meaningful art, comfy furniture) in an historic building. Quality toiletries, welcoming clear signage, easy check-in, SPACIOUS room... We are so impressed with the vision and values that inspire this building. Hats off to Ajo and the International Sonoran Desert Alliance.

Unique experience in converted school. Be prepared for no TV, no Electric Car Charger, no pool, and skimpy cell service. In short, a fantastic place to disconnect from the world and reconnect with yourself. Great staff, clean room.
