 | My wife likes to get out of the Phoenix area for the holidays and up to more "Christmassy" looking parts of the state. So for this Chirstmas of 2016, we decided to visit Cottonwood, Jerome and Prescott. It's possible to see all three locations in one day, but rather then rush it? Instead of a whirlwind speed tour, we took our time and stopped in Cottonwood for lunch, toured Old Town, then drove up to Jerome where we stayed the night at the Grand Hotel. |
The Grand Hotel is situated high up on the hill overlooking Jerome and offers a nice taste of history. They say the place is haunted but we didn't notice anything unusual. No flickering lights, apparitions, cold spots or rattling chains. It was quiet, well appointed, and the staff was knowledable and friendly. Take a look at our Reviews Video of our stay...
We recommend staying in one of the balcony rooms that offer views overlooking Jerome and the Verde Valley. You'll get a kick out of the elevator. It's a 1924 model that requires your room key to activate it and two doors that must be manualy opened and closed each use.
We ate dinner in the Assylum Restaurant downstairs in the same building for my wife's birthday. The staff was terrific, the food was very tasty, and it was very nice to not have to drive anywhere. Whe I asked for a recommendation for a mixed frink, our server suggested the "Liquid Vallium". Let me pass that along as well. A nice burn to go with dinner.
If you're looking for lodging in Jerome, then consider the Grand Hotel at the top of the hill. Take the dirt road to the right at the Haunted Hamburger and you'll eventually make it up to the Grand Hotel and the Assylum Restaurant.
