Great owners and an ideal stop for folks on two or four wheels. Great value! Just a few steps into downtown.

Pronghorn Antelope

This charming motel is everything it claims to be. The mattresses were wonderfully comfortable. The property has an open area back yard that is comfortable and relaxing. The air conditioning is of the mini-split type. What this means is the air conditioner is so quiet that you wonder if it is on. On this same trip I stayed in other hotels with the usual hotel type through wall air conditioners that are so noisy. If you are a motorcycle rider, the owner has a bunch of motorcycle routes laid out with good descriptions. For the adventure motorcycle riders, the descriptions are very accurate as to difficulty or ease. I enjoyed Carr's Canyon, Montezuma Pass, and Chiricahua National Monument rides. Oh, I almost forgot to mention, I saw a Pronghorn Antelope up close. Wow! I will definitely come back!

We were so glad that we stayed here, beside Eva and Sterling were the super host, this motel itself is super cute. Very good location, walking distance to everywhere in town. Circle K just right next door and the High Desert Market, pizza place and the Mexican restaurant only few minutes away by foot. This place is a bit old, but very clean and charming. The outdoor setting in the back was so nice to chill and hangout with other guests. Overall this place is a five stars all the way.

Bedroom one of two

This hotel is so cute, the staff is super friendly, room was clean and had everything we needed. Close to restaurants and shopping plus a very own parking space for room seven.

This is room number 3

This little motel dates back to 1936 and perfectly reflects the offbeat, artsy vibe of Bisbee, AZ. Understand that the rooms are small and cramped, and the amenities are basic. You get a single room nearly filled with a bed, plus a closet and a bathroom. The back yard, reached by crossing a bridge over a flash flood channel, is a charming little refuge. The walk to downtown is manageable and interesting, given that virtually every home features some kind of art and there are places to eat or drink along the way. Also, there is on-site parking, which is a plus given Bisbee's narrow streets and lanes.

Reviews are largely positive. Guests highlight the clean and comfortable rooms, friendly and helpful staff, and artistic, charming atmosphere. The convenient location is also appreciated.

The hotel is very accessible to everything in Old Town Bisbee and it was great to be able to leave the car in their parking lot and walk. I do recommend if you have trouble getting up/down stairs to pick a room on the 1st floor. We picked a room on the 3rd floor, in a corner and was perfect. The front looked over the town but the bedroom was in the back. Very spacious and quiet at night despite being near the bars. The rooms are set up like apartments- there's a full, well stocked kitchen (stove, fridge,utensils, even a water filtration jug!). Toiletries included in the bathroom. Lots of closet space. Check out my video for a tour of our room. Will definitely stay here again. Ahh! And the food recommendations given by Patrick were followed and 10/10 will also go back there again!

The hotel itself is quaint, charming, and perfectly suited to Bisbee's artistic, historic vibe. The location couldn't be better--up above the town of Bisbee, yet still cozy and relaxing. One of our favorite experiences was sitting on the balcony, enjoying a drink while listening to the live music drifting up from the bars below. It truly captures the magic of Bisbee at night. A special tip: definitely get the add-on if you enjoy margaritas or champagne--it's a fun and thoughtful touch that elevates the stay. If you're looking for character, comfort, and genuine family hospitality in the heart of Bisbee, the Eldorado Hotel is the perfect choice. We can't wait to come back.

I'm gonna go on the record with a controversial opinion: Copper Queen is over-hated because it's a…read morehistoric building set in the middle of steep and hostile terrain. You have to climb a hill every time you go to the parking lot. The elevator didn't work during my trip, and judging by the reviews before my own, it probably won't work for you, either. You might have to climb 3 flights of stairs every time you need to go to your room. Yes, the air is thinner--this is about the same elevation as Prescott, or Denver. If you can brave these conditions, you will be rewarded! The atmosphere is as good as it gets, and you really feel like you've been sent back in time. There are so many cool, communal areas--a bar on the first floor, a lounge with a working piano on the second. You'll even find a balcony with some seating and one of the best views in town. It's in the center of downtown, and walking distance from almost anywhere around here you'd want to go. Not to say there isn't any room for improvement. The weather is splendid most of the year, I'm sure, but this uniquely scorching summer overpowered their antiquated AC in the middle of the day. I don't like the old-timey bathtub with the 360 curtain, but I have to admit that it looks cool. There's room for some sort of shelf in the bathroom, but I guess they never got around to that. The inconveniences are forgivable, and if you don't dwell on them so much it really helps immerse you into a sense of rugged Southwestern history.

What a miserable experience and it soured my whole trip, so much so that I left after one uncomfortable night and went home. It's a non smoking hotel, but the front desk staff sits outside the front door and smokes. When we came back to the hotel after dinner they offered an upgraded room for us to move to. The hostility we felt at check in, the apathy ...the lack of welcoming we experienced was unlike anywhere else I've ever been. Not ONCE were we made to feel welcome. So we left and were told we would not receive a refund for the 2nd night that we did not use- Stay away from this place!

Called the hotel directly and the front desk was very helpful and gracious getting me squared away before arrival. Truly exceptional customer service. Went above and beyond to make our stay worthwhile and feel welcomed. Checking in was simple and the hotel office is located just in front and below the hotel entrance. This small all suite boutique hotel is very comfortable, with only a handful of well appointed rooms and within walking distance of most all the restaurants and retail shops in the downtown Bisbee area. It never felt crowded. Stayed in suite 105, a large space with two king bed rooms and a single bathroom. Full kitchen and dining area, with a large living room and rooftop private balcony. Comfortable beds, and an albeit old shower it worked well. The kitchen was great for our needs that evening and especially the next morning making coffee and a little breakfast before our departure. A quiet, secure, comfortable hotel that makes you feel welcome. The space was very large and on the main floor so no real stairs or elevator once in the building. However, accessing the entrance does require stairs so its not a zero step entry establishment. 4.5 Stars rounded up for the stellar front desk and customer services staff 01171

Did I mention it's super cute? This would be a great hotel to stay in for your wedding night. We met the person running the joint, I don't know if he was the owner or not but he was very friendly and helpful as he showed us the room. Extra towels and sundries are available in a hall cabinet and their wifi is crazy fast. The only reason they didn't get five starts from me is because our bed in room 6 was so soft that we just sank through the mattress and after two nights there our backs were killing us. If you like a soft mattress than this is the place for you. If you love really quaint hotels located directly off the main street than this place it for you. If you prefer a firmer mattress than you may need to give this place a pass. I swear though that if the bed was better I'd live here in a heartbeat given the opportunity.

Windows open which I love when it's 55 degrees!!! It's on the corner so you do hear a lot of traffic however they provided earplugs. While getting ready for bed I noticed a spider on the ceiling. There was no way I could reach it and I wasn't going to sleep with it above my head. I called the night manager and she sent her husband to fix it with in 10 minutes.

In that respect it would be much more transparent to describe this as a 5-room AirBnb. Also, all rooms are on the second floor via a steep-ish, narrow staircase - Bisbee charm! We arrived around 10p on a Friday evening. Emailed instructions with the front door 4-digit deadbolt code and separate 4-digit room code were easy to follow. We texted their listed contact # regarding parking (since a lot was mentioned but not pictured) and we never got a response. We luckily found street parking not too far away. The room was 68° so we turned the thermostat to 74° and heard the wall-mounted (gas) furnace fire up (see pic). There was the characteristic smell of dust burning and we thought this might be the first lighting of the furnace on this first cool fall day. About 2 minutes later the ceiling-high fire alarm went off. There was zero smoke, and no smoke smell either. Panicked we thought maybe it was the carbon monoxide sensor that was going off (we couldn't determine what two types of sensors were mounted by the 15 foot ceiling). So we texted their number again (as instructed in the welcome email) that the fire alarm was going off. My wife also dialed their emergency number but got no answer. I decided to kill the furnace, open a window, turn a fan on and hope that none of our four neighbors in this five room "hotel" would be awakened. After an agonizingly loud 2-3 minutes the siren finally stopped. Still no response to our texts. Fast forward to our evening shower. The main water handle was loose and suddenly fell off after just two turns (see video!) It was close to the "hot" setting so we took fast showers. With considerable effort I was able to push the handle on just far enough to get the valve to turn the water off. After that harrowing experience we decided not to shower in the morning. Speaking of mourning Lol - still no responses to the parking text or the fire alarm text. By then we felt there was no point in mentioning the shower valve fiasco. One other issue was that there were two USED towels hanging on different hooks behind the door (see vid). What the...?! To be fair, the hotel and room #5 are charming (see pics). The huge windows overlooking the street and bringing in light were super nice (except for the one left totally unlocked). The beds were medium in terms of firmness and both had a slight sag dead-center (I'm 160 and she's 115). Sheets were crisp/clean and nicely tucked tight. The closet is small but perfectly functional. No safe though.

We had last stayed here about ten years ago, and this was probably our third or fourth visit over the past 25 years. The hotel has a fantastic location allowing guests to walk to the wonderful restaurants and shops in downtown Bisbee. As usual, we booked the Captains Suite. This suite occupies an old street level storefront two doors down from the hotel's bar. The bar serves as the hotel checkin and lobby. (More than ten years ago there was at least one other street level suite, a cowboy-themed suite. More than 10 years ago we saw some upstairs hotel rooms with different fun decoration themes.) The Captains Suite is a spacious suite with a large common area, two bedrooms and one bath. It is decorated in a fun way with a mariners' theme. I like the ship's figurehead, the model boats, life preservers, fishing nets, paintings of ships, old nautical maps, etc. The suite's common area has a large table with 6 chairs, a sofa, end table, a small fridge, a TV cabinet, etc. My husband's and my bedroom had bedside tables with good reading lights on each side of the bed. The problem with both bedrooms was that the mattresses were worn out, too soft and close to uncomfortable. We enjoyed visiting the hotel's bar which is two doors away from the Captains Suite. We had drinks there and enjoyed the ambiance. A bartender told us that the hotel recently closed its kitchen and decided to expand its musical stage, which we saw under construction. The bartender said that you can order food while you are in the bar and someone will bring it from a restaurant across the street. We decided it would be easier to just go to the restaurant. I think the restaurant is Taqueria Outlaw. The hotel bartender told us that the husband and wife who own the hotel are very interested in music and each belong to two or more bands. Their interest in music is reflected in the fact that the bar provides music at night. There is a sign in the bar that music (probably live?) can play in the bar until 10:00 pm. Our two night stay in the Captains Suite took place on a Wednesday and Thursday in mid October. I did not enjoy listening to the music coming from the bar. It was not relaxing. Thankfully, the music ended promptly at 10:00 pm both nights, as advertised by a sign in the bar. However, I don't like listening to other people's music when I am trying to relax in a hotel room. I would have preferred that the music ended at 8:00 pm or maybe 9:00 pm. However, that is a business decision made by the hotel owners. On the past occasions we stayed at this hotel I don't recall a hearing music while in the Captains Suite, but maybe I just forgot. Another problem with our stay in the Captains Suite is that we could not get the TV to work. We forgot to tell management about the problem with the TV. I was not interested in watching TV, but my sister-in-law wanted to watch and was disappointed. The room was clean. When we requested more towels, we got them. There is convenient free public parking across the street
