Jerome Grand Hotel

I know it sounds nuts, but if you stay here request a valley view, not the mountain view! The hotel/town is built into the side of a mountain, which makes for AMAZING views of the verde valley below! If you love historic, old, and paranormal things, this is definitely the place to be!! The restaurant there is decent but more on the expensive side, Id recommend drinks if you go there, but I always opt for dinner at the Haunted Hamburger. :)

This fall I'm travelling with two friends who are competing in an Ironman race in mid November 2012, they are serious triathletes and paranormal groupies as well.  I'm quickly becoming one myself and we've booked three nights at the Jerome Grand, I'll be sure to post some pics and stories after our trip.  Even if we have no contact with any spirits the mountains behind the hotel look awesome.

This hotel really delivers on the overall experience in Jerome!

I stayed here two years ago, we didn't spend much time at the hotel but it was perfectly comfortable and historic, they have one of those old elevators with a gate that you have to open. The town was great, a bunch of chill spots to eat and drink. I went with friends that were competing in the Ironman race in Tempe in November 2012 so we spent the first night in Jerome before heading to Phoenix. The views in the town are incredible. That was my first time ever in a desert. My two friends are big fans of Tool and we went to Maynard James Keenan's 'Caduceus Cellars' where they distribute his wine. Definitely check it out you can taste whatever you want and take some bottles home.
