3 reviews for Connor Hotel
I adore The Connor Hotel. Keep in mind that *Jerome* is my boyfriend (he just doesn't know it yet) and I'm at my most content when I'm in this town so any review of any establishment in Jerome is going to ooze with hippy love and reek of kush.
I've stayed here 3 times in the last 6 months and I absolutely love it. The last time I stayed here we got lucky and one of the bands playing in the Spirit Room beneath the Hotel we knew from Phoenix.
The rooms are equipped with a Plasma T.V., mini fridge, coffee maker and any other amenity you could possible need, including popcorn and yummy little chocolates that made my hangover a little more tolerable the next morning. The king sized bed was clean and comfy and the linens were actually nice... no garden variety motel 6 skank goin' on here. It's also pet friendly which is a plus in my book. As mentioned, parking can be a bit of a challenge, especially with all the bikes... but once you're parked it's not like you need to drive anywhere anyway.
Word of warning:
The main "office" area closes very early and you have to use the side door to gain access to the Hotel. (for which they provide a key)
If you are incredibly intoxicated, you may not remember that doors can open both ways (push....or pull) ahem....
Please pull.... or you'll be leaving crazy slurring messages on your passed out sisters' voicemail (which she will play on speaker at lunch the following day for all to hear) and you will be sleeping on a bench. :)
Good Times

Live music in the bar on weekend afternoons.
Plenty of bikers and girls hanging onto the bikers. You might see a couple Jerome police officers monitoring the drunks spilling out onto the sidewalk.

First let me first recommend that the drive is best made in a convertible or on the front (or back) of a motorcycle. Even a light rain with the top down could not wipe the relaxed smiles off our faces on the return trip home. After 158 turns ( we didn't really count them ) at 20- 30 miles an hour......one last blind curve opens onto a view across the valley floor that requires a picture, and a thousand words to describe. Suddenly you are in the heart of this history rich town. Jerome, known for it's ghosts, bars and a beautiful collection of Harley Davidson's ( and Those Others Bikes ) that seem to change in number and variety while the afternoon band breaks down and the next bands sets up. Finding the hotel entrance was difficult as the band tried to draw us in for a cold beer and live rock and roll at The Spirit Room, located below the Hotel Connor. With a pleasant greeting from the hotel host and a welcome to my Tibetan Terrier ( I believe this is the only pet friendly hotel on the hillside) we moved through the gift shop to our room upstairs. In the hallway a friendly housekeeping staff, smiled and turned back to clipping cut roses for each room's small arrangement. The surprise behind our door was a king sized bed and a perfect room in decor and function. a high back chair near the street view window was a great perch to watch the locals, who seem to gather at the town park across the street to drink beer ( yes, it's allowed in the park ) and watch the tourists, if they run out of things to talk about.
The Bed was comfortable and extra pillows (already provided) made watching the 32" ceiling mounted plasma screen even more comfortable. Coffee maker, with real creamers (in the frig), chocolates and microwave popcorn were there if needed and the bathroom with large bathtub was among the cleanest I have ever thrown a wet towel on the floor in. Everything is within walking distance in Jerome. Parking was a challenge at first, but with a little patience we manage to park directly in front of the hotel and only returned reluctantly to the car to drive away from a perfect weekend getaway.
