I've traveled to Italy, Germany, France, Mexico, and Korea. The point in traveling is to experience the rich history and culture of the people. Step back in time at the Copper Sands motel where the premises depict a by-gone era of roadside motels in American history. The pace is slower and the owners are friendly and accommodating. Enjoy visiting with... More

This motel really could do with a spruce-up. While all the essentials were there, our room was small and dark. It was very hot in September and I was looking forward to the swimming pool. The pool was a good size and it was obvious that it had once been the focal point of the motel. Some maintenance and tidying-up... More

The Copper Sands accomodated me 2 nites of my 2 month detail in the area until I could check into the La Siesta Motel. (I would've been better off sleeping in the car.) I will say, the owners really want u to be happy, so they're... overly friendly; as if to compensate for what ur about to experience. After seeing... More

We had a great stay at the Copper Sands Motel in Ajo. After being told that the La Siesta was booked we took a chance on the Copper Sands. We found the owners to be friendly and helpful. The room was decent size and while the king size bed took up most of the free space it was comfortable and... More

We make many road trips in AZ, NM and CA and have stayed at many old small hotels, but this was by far the worst experience we've ever had. The cabin we stayed in was so old and so in need of major repairs that it was laughable. The beds were uncomfortable and the shower was soooo bad we didn't... More

Basic hotel with friendly owner. We had a cabin which was worn down but OK. The room had a patio and a small kitchen, a very worn down bathroom, and sleeps up to 5. The quality of the bed was not very high. It was the only sleeping option left in Ajo however, and this seemed to be the best... More

We enjoyed our stay in Ajo. The owners were very friendly and welcoming. The room was a cozy southwestern style. The king bed was very comfortable. The motel is an older motel, but room was very clean. It had a little fridge, microwave, and coffee pot with GOOD COFFEE (not that cheap stuff you get at most motels). There was... More

This is a place for ONE night only, but you will like it probably. The house is really run down, the door of the room is squeaky and the beds ... well ... The pool which you can read of in their internet-presentation is a dust-hole without water at the time we were there and the highway just 20 yds... More
