I love the setting in Ajo, with a large common area (with fire pit) a new gift shop, coffee shop next door, and just two blocks from the charming Ajo plaza. Rooms are spacious and the contact-free entry (in which your room number and door code are emailed to you) is hard to beat. No more lost key cards or getting locked out.

We loved our stay at the Sonoran Desert Inn and Conference Center. We felt like finding this place was such a gift in our cross- country trip. People were very friendly. We loved finding this artist community in the middle of the Sonoran desert. Our only regret is that we couldn’t stay longer. The gift shop was wonderful. The vibe was fabulous. We hope to be back soon.
