Jerome Grand Hotel

Hotels

The hotel stands at 200 Hill Street, at the top of Jerome, Arizona, in a large Spanish Mission style building that once served as the United Verde Hospital. It is family owned and the front desk is staffed 24 hours. Rooms come with wifi, air conditioning, cable television, a microwave and a refrigerator, and parking is free. The 1926 Otis elevator still runs, serving all 5 levels. Many rooms look out over the Verde Valley, and some have balconies. Call (888) 817-6788 or (928) 634-8200 to book, or to ask which rooms have a view. The Asylum restaurant sits inside the building.

The Clinkscale

Hotels

The Clinkscale stands at 309 Main Street in Jerome, Arizona, and serves American food. The kitchen keeps the same hours every day, from 8:30 in the morning until 8:30 at night. There is no outdoor seating, so plan on a table inside. The same building holds a small hotel, with the bar and dining room on the ground floor. Call (928) 634-6225 for a table, or write to info@theclinkscale.com with a question about a large group or a private event. Main Street puts other shops and tasting rooms within an easy walk, so parking once and going on foot works well.

About hotels in Jerome

Jerome Grand Hotel, 200 Hill Street, sits above the town on Cleopatra Hill and is the building you can see from the valley floor twenty miles away. It was built as the United Verde Hospital and converted, which is the source of both its layout and the ghost stories it is famous for. The view from it runs the length of the valley to the Mogollon Rim.

Mile High Inn is the other. That sentence is close to everything our record holds, and rather than dress that up, this page says so: we have the name and the town and little else. Its own page is the place to look.

Staying in Jerome rather than visiting it

Jerome empties in the evening. The day visitors drive back down the switchbacks, the shops shut, and a town of four hundred and fifty people on a hillside becomes very quiet indeed. People who stay overnight tend to say that is the point.

It also solves the drive. The SR-89A switchbacks are tight, unlit and have a long drop on the outer edge, and they are the same road whether you have had a glass of wine or not. If your evening involves the two bars on Main Street, staying up here is the answer rather than the indulgence.

Practicalities of a town on a slope

Jerome is built on a 30-degree hillside and the streets are stacked on top of each other. Almost nothing here is step-free, including getting from a car park to a front door, and anybody with limited mobility should ask specific questions before booking rather than assume.

Parking is $5 for the day in the paid lots, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., with a free lot at the 300 Level on Perkinsville Road and a shuttle on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and holidays. Ask where guests are meant to park; it is not obvious and it is not always next to the building.

Both places are small. If neither has room, Clarkdale is fifteen minutes down the hill and Cottonwood twenty-five, both with more choice and both a good deal flatter.
