Loved this motel. Very friendly welcome from Richard, the owner's son, who showed us how to work the hot tub (very nice after a long drive from Prescott) and immediately came out with clean towels when he saw us get in it. Pool was cold (Richard, you still owe my mum that drink!). The rooms are spotless and just right for Tombstone. We stayed for 2 nights and if there was more to do of an evening in Tombstone we may have stayed another night but everything closes at 9pm because most of the visitors are on a day trip which is a shame because the Ghost Tour is fun and so are the restaurants and bars and we just had a great time there - in the whole 2 weeks of touring Arizona we took the most photos in Tombstone. We had bought some beers and wine so sat outside our rooms after dinner and Richard and his friends joined us so we had a lovely fun evening. The motel is just a few minutes walk from the main tourist street but set back off the road so very quiet.
Breakfast of cakes/donuts, juice and coffee was nice in the warm sunshine watching the hummingbirds - it was a bit of a social place before heading off. We really couldn't fault it.
Tombstone was much better than we were expecting and we hope this motel is also 'too tough to die'. Like all of Arizona we only met with really friendly people and we would have loved to have taken this motel with us on our trip around Arizona !

We stayed here for one night in order to stop and see Tombstone on our road trip. The staff there was really nice, and even chatted with us for awhile about our dog. Yes, they are pet friendly. We had a very nice, spacious room with two full beds. It was very clean. This place is within walking distance to everything you want to see in Tombstone. There are chairs outside each room to sit and enjoy the included continental breakfast of doughnuts and coffee. It's a very cute place. I would definitely stay here again. Sadly we didn't get to use the hot tub.

My wife actually booked this motel so that ours and several other families could converge on Tombstone for a day. We drove down the night before and were welcomed by the VERY accomodating folks who own/run this splendid little place (I believe they're from "across the pond.")
What you see on the website is exactly what you will get - but the rooms had more! We had mini fridges/microwaves in each room. Some of the rooms had a flat screen in it for a TV (albeit tiny,) but all the rooms had great TV/Cable and even free hi-speed WiFi.
The beds were comfortable, the towels smelled great (no heavy detergent stink to them.) The heat in the room worked AWESOME (almost too well - we had to get up in the middle of the night and turn it down a bit as I think we accidentally set it too high!) Bathrooms and showers were small but very adequate (we certainly didn't run out of hot water!)
In the a.m. we got up and went to the motel office. On a table in front was a simple but VERY yummy continental breakfast. Hard boiled eggs, some packaged pastries, plenty of fruit and coffee/orange juice! There may have been a bit more but I don't remember. ALL the kids enjoyed it (when have you ever known a group of kids numbering 7 all finding something good to eat at once?) Again, it wasn't fancy but it loaded us up in the a.m. and got us on our way/through the a.m. before we needed lunch.
The motel is "maybe" a block or so from the main downtown Tombstone. It took us as a group of several families maybe 5 minutes to walk there?
So while Trail Rider's Inn is not anything fancy, you won't be disappointed in its quality and simplicity. It's definitely clean and when you're looking for a place to stay overnight before a full day of sightseeing? VERY worth it!
I read in other reviews that the walls were thin/you could hear your neighbors? Well, we did hear one of the family's kids to us next door - but they were being really loud/having fun. The walls are block construction (at least ours were,) and not just plywood...so I can't imagine sound would travel that easily through the walls. Maybe through common ceiling vents? - but definitely not through the walls!
I also read that the rooms didn't have an outlet in the bathroom for a hairdryer? ALL of our family's rooms had outlets in the bathrooms and outside in common areas as well. So maybe check with the owners about maybe a particular room or two that have different layouts? But honestly - all our rooms were right next to each other (10,11,12) and they were all very well loaded with all the minor luxuries many of us take for granted!

As many of the reviews stated, I too just had a great stay at the Trail Rider's Inn. I agree that the owners are great and very inviting. The room was comfortable and it is close to the action. The price is better than reasonable.
What makes it great to me are the little things. The towels in my room were very thick, fluffy, and smelled clean. The linens on the bed also smelled clean. The tissues they have are name brand, also thick. I have long hair so the showerhead and water presure are important to me. They both met up to my standards. There was a dimming light switch in the bathroom. Nice touch in the middle of the night.
There was a microwave and fridge in the room.Who wants there stuff floating in a bucket of water in the morning? A fridge is a must for a traveler.
The night was a little cold when I arrived. There is a seemingly old heating unit in the room.
It worked just fine. It heated the bathroom and the sleeping quarters up fast and was very quiet. Not one of those units that the blower goes on and off all night.
When I come and stay again, I would be sure to bring my own pillow, as I like a big, fat pillow. (They were a little flat for my taste). An alarm clock that I can read in the night. (there was no alarm clock in my room).
Remember, This is not a chain hotel. It is a great roadside motel. It will not be esp. roomy and the TV will not be the main feature. It totally serves its purpose. THANKS for the stay!!
