Although I did spot a few hairs and tiny black stains on the bed linens, those minor (and fairly common) imperfections weren't enough to dock a star from otherwise very clean, comfy, quiet place to spend night.

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.

If you're staying in Ajo, you know there's not much there. SDICC is an unexpected bit of desert charm. Unique, very comfortable, and lots of character (in a good way). Easy walk to the Plaza, with the only coffee shop in town, and a wonderful art gallery. Hotel gift shop is awesome, too.
