    I stayed here for a work trip! I was bummed that the restaurant and bar was closed. I couldn't take advantage of those! When you first walk in it smells like an estate sale. But that's goes with the history of it and long-standing of it right? Idk The employees were super nice and helpful when I asked questions because I'm new to the area. The room was nice and cold but at night I felt like it would get hot out of nowhere even when I had the cooler on 69. Very convenient area, less than 10 minutes from everything. I especially liked that even though it didn't have a gym they gave us day passes to the Power Zone Gym. Good partnership and smart for visitors. They don't advertise it though. Which I found quite odd, I only ended up finding out from the front desk person because I went to get a water and told her I was going to the gym. Otherwise I wouldn't have known and would've paid for the $7 day pass price at the gym. Isn't bad, but I highly suggest they advertise that partnership. It's a great addition. Plus it's walking distance. I liked that I was able to park right up front.

    Ana was an amazing help. Ana was very accommodating,very kind,and professional . She went above and beyond for my Grandmother and her friends. I really appreciated how she connected with my grandma and her friends. Very clean. Nice place to eat in the Hotel the 333 . There was lots of parking (in the front of the hotel there was handicap parking)and on the side and the back. The only downside of the hotel is there's no handicap shower. There is an elevator that the staff (Ana) helped us in and out of .

    After a quick search for things to do in Douglas, Arizona; I knew that I had to check out the Gadson Hotel. STAR #1: Rich in history! Every stone and pane of glass in The Gadsen Hotel offers up a wonderful insight into the history of, not only The Gadsen Hotel, but Douglas. There's a great feature about the grand opening of the hotel in the lobby. There's also some interesting info about the hotel's connection with Pancho Villa to the right of the grand staircase. STAR #2: Super friendly staff! As I made my way into the lobby, I knew it may be odd if I just started poking around the hotel. So I approached the desk and asked if they'd mind me taking some pictures and reading the informational signage. The concierge was all smiles and let me know where I could roam without batting an eye. So kind! STAR #3: Plenty of amenities! Saddle and Spur Tavern is located just off the lobby for all your dinning and drinking needs. There's also an ice cream and pastry shop named Casa Segovia next to the tavern for those sweet treats. STAR #4: Event space! They offer up space to host a variety of events in style. I'm so glad that I chose to check out The Gadsen Hotel during our brief stay in Douglas. Definitely worth stopping by!

    I have a long fascination with border towns. It doesn't matter if it's a city or simply a few structures in utter desolation. Border towns are the jumping off point to travel dreams and I like to think a more eclectic collection of characters inhabit places like these. It takes a long time to drive to Douglas so it's not the kind of place you'll pass through accidentally. If you're here, it's because you arrived on purpose for one reason or another. There isn't much to Douglas itself anymore. It's a rougher place that has certainly seen better days but images of this town have remained in my mind and I had to return for at least one reason: The Gadsden Hotel. The 20th century playwright, Thornton Wilder, passed through Douglas when his car broke down. After checking in to the Gadsden, he kept extending his stay: it lasted two months. I didn't have time to check in but I plan to do so in the future. The ornate lobby features marble, Tiffany-inspired stained glass windows, and comfy old leather chairs to while away some time in a book that you've always wanted to read. Depending upon the time of day, hazy light filters into the lobby like vestigial puffs of cigarette smoke from a bygone era. Some neon signs, potted plants, an unattended shoe shine stand, an old tavern, a tin-ceilinged dining room: the Gadsden checks the boxes that fuel nostalgia and romance. Hollywood and television have found this place over the years. Wedding receptions now routinely take over the lobby. If you're staying in one of the rooms on the mezzanine level, the free ear plugs may come in handy. The Gadsden seems an ideal place to disengage from the world and let your imagination run wild. Thornton Wilder found inspiration here. Maybe you can, too.

    Beautiful historic hotel. So much to see just inside there. They have a small museum honoring military pow hero's. Large stain glass windows and old telephones. Grand piano. In the center of town. So many little shops and a cute little park across the way. Everyone in town is polite and helpful. Great little getaway

    The bathroom was small, but back in 1929 that's just how they built them, clean and had the old subway tile still intact.

    First off, I want to mention the excellent service. From the host at the door to our server -- who…read morewe later discovered will soon be the sous chef -- everyone was fantastic. We arrived just under the wire as the last table seated for the evening and were fully prepared to be turned away, but the hostess kindly welcomed us in. Our server was warm, attentive, and extremely knowledgeable about both the food and its preparation. As the evening went on, we learned that this is a family-run restaurant, which only added to the charm and warmth of the experience. I ordered the mussels, one of my favorite dishes, while my girlfriend had the artichoke and mushroom lasagna. For dessert we shared the crème brûlée and a caramel nut tart with mascarpone. Both of us have traveled extensively, eaten at many excellent restaurants around the world, and this was genuinely one of the better meals we've had. The restaurant is beautifully and thoughtfully designed, the food was exceptional, and the service matched it perfectly. As a business owner myself, and as an artist who deeply appreciates craftsmanship and people doing things well, I can't express enough how much I enjoyed the experience.

We were seated…read moreon the third floor by the window, and the ambiance alone set the tone; quiet, elegant, and intimate. It felt so special, like we had our own little corner of Bisbee to enjoy the evening. We started with the appetizer sampler, and every single bite was incredible. Each item was thoughtfully prepared and absolutely delicious. It set the tone for what turned out to be an unforgettable meal. For our entrées, my husband ordered the duck and could not stop raving about it. It was perfectly cooked, rich, and full of flavor. I had the Chilean sea bass, and I'm still thinking about it. It was cooked to absolute perfection. It was tender, buttery, and it truly melted in my mouth. As if that wasn't enough, it was paired with prawns and lobster ravioli... just beyond delicious. Okay, I also have to mention the salad. The salad was fresh and amazing, and just when we thought it couldn't get any better, we were served a lime palate cleanser before our entrée. Such a thoughtful and elevated touch. We were honestly blown away. Our server was incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive. It made the entire experience feel warm and personal It's rare to come across service that truly enhances a meal like that. And dessert... the crème brûlée was to die for. We paired it with a 10-year tawny port, and it was the perfect ending. It was smooth, rich, and indulgent in all the best ways. This was more than just dinner; it was an experience. Café Roka delivered excellence from start to finish, and we will absolutely be back. To our wonderful server: May kindness you give return to you tenfold, May your path be light, your days be warm, And may every table you serve be filled with gratitude and joy.

The reason for one star: they ruined our sand ceremony keepsake. Once the reception started our gifts, cards and sand kit was placed inside. Once the party was over they lock up. Understandable it's someone's home. That's when I realized our sand kit with our sand keepsake was locked inside. I asked if we can go grab it and they refused. Ok again I understand that it's someone's house but none of the staff or anyone working there offered to go back inside and grab it. I asked when can we get it and They said Monday! Wedding was on a Saturday and We're from Phoenix so it's a bit of a drive. So we drive back to the mansion to pick it up and they left the box on the porch. I grab it and opened it up and they had turned the box upside down so the sand was falling out and it got all mixed up! Now every time I look at our keepsake I'm reminded of how terrible they were to us and how they had no consideration for our belongings. Just throw it outside on the porch. Unfortunately I do not recommend this place. Pic below shows the front and the back.

Their complete lack of…read moreprofessionalism and attention to detail is appalling, especially when entrusted with someone's special day. To start from the beginning, we went to their place of business and filled out a request form of what we're looking for and to set up a one-on-one appointment. The day of our agreed upon appointment, we arrived at 10am as scheduled. The place seemed empty, but the door was unlocked so we let ourselves in. Imagine my surprise when no one was inside! Who leaves their place of business unlocked?! They ended up arriving 15min late and were completely unorganized from the start. They wasted over two hours of time, to include prepping for our long standing appointment, and unfortunately we disregarded the red flag. Fast forward to the day of the rehearsal dinner and surprise, surprise, they were late again. We informed them upon hiring that we'd have guests that night at then venue to eat and we couldn't believe that it wasn't already set up! To top off the disaster, the five round tables we rented from the company weren't assembled correctly. I kid you not, they collapsed while guests were eating!! I've added a few pictures to show the type of work they offer (wrinkled, uneven table clothes) once they do actually show up. To add insult to injury, I paid them $325 for bartenders. On the 12th (my event was the 20th) they cancelled my bartender transaction without informing me. When I inquired, they said they would refund me, but I didn't see or hear anything for weeks. When I asked again, they said they were trying to solve the problem and get the bartenders. Eventually, they informed me they found bartenders for the event. You can see a theme here with this company so this probably doesn't come as a shock, but on the night of the rehearsal dinner the bartenders didn't show up! Also no surprise- on the wedding day the bartenders didn't show up. Able to get a $75 refund at this point, but that doesn't come anywhere close to the original amount. This is the worst company I have ever worked with and I would not be shocked if they treat you as poorly as they did us. I beg you to take your business elsewhere!

We were so excited to stay in the historic spot in Bisbee and super happy they had availability. We overlooked the dingy carpet, grungy tile, dusty everything and booked rooms for ourselves and my mother in law. We are all really easy going folks that take road trips together quite a bit...not super picky... BUT... EEEEEWWWWWWW! Not only are the corners and crevices of the hallways, lobby, restaurant and rooms filthy, the pool hadn't been cleaned or cared for in obviously more than a year. Dead weeds and old spider webs, etc. all over. Windows were super dirty throughout the place.... Why did we stay? Ugh. We were too weary from traveling and the beds and towels were actually obviously very clean and we thought we could deal with two nights. We did. But man, were we ready to get into our clean car!!! Let's talk about the bar and restaurant that we gave a chance, too. Jeeeeeeezus! Unkempt bartender sat at the end of the empty bar with the music blaring so loudly that it was almost impossible to order. We wanted classic. gin martinis and were told they didn't have olives. Website boasted full bar. Well, we're cool... ok... give us a twist Abby make sure we can taste the vermouth. "Of course," she said. Ummmmm.... Nah. We got two wine glasses with straight house gin. (Asked for Bombay Sapphire) barely shaken. No twist. We wanted a drink, so we drank them and sat outside so we could hear ourselves think. So dumb to give the restaurant a chance. HORRIBLE, tough steak and uncooked brussel sprouts. Meal was inedible. Don't do it. Also - no joke about being haunted. Had pressure against the bed, cords that were on the floor suddenly dropped to the floor like they had been picked up and dropped; door creaked open and cold air filled the room. NOOOO! Do not spend your money here. We should have checked it out before paying for two rooms for two nights. They're getting 2 stars because the linens were clean and they had vacancies.
