Do Not STAY at this MOTEL, I say MOTEL because that is exactly what you will get. Terrible Terrible service
Do Not, I repeat Do not ever pay ahead for your room and sign any receipts until you know the status of your stay.I was over charged first of all for a room that was extremely small, no phone, no A/C with weather of 100 degrees. They have a fan and a portable heater in the closet.
I drove 4hrs to find out that when I did get there I caught the flu with 102.0 fever and was in the room for about 1 1/2 hrs. When I went to check out to drive another 4hrs back home, the owner Carrie was actually very nice and said how sorry she was about my being sick and that she would credit back the whole amount of my money if she rented the room and if she did not rent the room that she would credit at least 1/2. When I called back a few days later and did not see a credit I called and talked with Carrie and she said she did not rent the room. So I asked about the 1/2 credit. She said she was not going to give me a credit of any kind. That she had to change the sheets put clean towels ect. I had not used anything in the room, so there was no reason to change anything.Plus she didnt even say anything about disinfecting the room, so imagine all the germs that are left in the air, especially if the last customer was sick -like myself. She did go on to say this is a small motel with 7 rooms and we dont make a lot of money here.
So this leads me to believe that she doesnt care how they get their money as long as she gets it.
I feel in all my experience with staying out of town whether it be a big Hotel or a small motel in a situation like this many would have honored what they said about crediting an amount or even have been much more professional and considerate. Even some kind of compensation. Not like I would have excepted now.
I have family in Bisbee and everyone I have met are usually extremely nice. Bisbee is still a beautiful town just stay at the EL DORADO you will like it so much better.
I have reported this motel to the BBB and have recieved the over charged amount from my bank.

disgusted

Management Response

(Management representative)

It is unfortunate that people can write whatever they please and
possibly be believed. In response to The July 3rd stay of
Scorpiolina, she failed to mention that after checking in she brought
five of her closest friends and ice chest in the room and stated they would be going to another establishment after the rest of the their party arrived in Bisbee and they would not be staying the night, only waiting. After 4hrs of use of the room including the bed and the bathroom she does come and
say she is ill and checking out, exit her and all her friends.
The room and carpet were dirtier than the stay of most of our
overnight guests. In eight years of running The Jonquil Motel
we have luckily had very few guests like scorpiolina. Luckily
for us she will not be back.

The Jonquil Motel is a good value for the budget-minded traveller.

Good things:
- Good location: 10 minute walk to downtown
- Very clean rooms
- Friendly owners
- Great price: 30% cheaper than anything else I saw

Not good things:
- Unexceptional rooms
- Mild road noise

While the Jonquil might not be the best choice for everyone, I enjoyed my stay and will definitely return.

I stayed overnight 1 night in Bisbee, and quite a few B&B's were booked, and the Copper Queen was out of my price range. So the Jonquil fit the bill. Quite, clean, affordable rooms in a good part of town.

“Not a great experience”

Jonquil Motel

I stayed at the Jonquil Motel for one night and that was enough!

When I realized that I had been given a room that was right next to (on?) the road I asked for another room. I was told by the young man at the desk that they were sold out and did not have another room to put me in (which turned out not to be true They just did not have another room for a one person). I was told that the noise form the traffic (admittedly not like freeway traffic since Bisbee is so small) would stop by 6:30 pm. At 7:00 it was still like having cars drive right through the room, albiet it one at a time. I again asked if they had another room that they could move me to and I was told no. The traffic continued on into the night with some let-up but then started again at 5:45 a.m.

The room they gave me was old, small and functional but not much else. The centrally controlled (not by me!) heating kept coming on and going off every 3-5 minutes. When it was on I couldn't hear the cars but the continual on and off cycles drove me crazy.

The owner was there in the morning and did say that, if she had been there the night before, she would have offered me another larger room that was away from the road and had individually controlled heating for the same price.

So, I don't really know what the attraction might be at the Jonquil Hotel but it sure isn't room #1 or the customer service! I did go to the School House B&B the next two nights and had an absolutely wonderful stay in a pretty place, with a great breakfast, for less than I paid at the Jonquil.

This was my first time in Bisbee and I didn't know heads from tails for places to stay. I looked on Tripadvisor for research and I saw this motel. The place was extremely clean, and cute. The owners are a husband and wife couple. The were very accommodating, knowledgable and nice. We really enjoyed our stay and wanted to advise others of our experience.
