As an older person travelling alone, peace and safety were my my concerns. Prickly Pear provided both of these. The room was extremely comfortable and had everything I needed. I was able to visit family members and sightsee during the day, and come back to the room and catch up on work in the evening. The staff were wonderfully helpful, the rooms were clean. What more could I want.

My husband and I had a wonderful time at the Prickly Pear Inn. Cozy and beautiful rooms...great restaurants and gift shops on the premises...not to mention it's located right down town in the center of Cave Creek. Great place... will definitely be a regular of theirs! Side note...the house staff was kind enough to find me in the parking lot after I checked out...left my flip flops in the room. :)

The room we stayed in was very nice, roomy. It looks like the room had been recently renovated with granite counter tops, tile floor, tiled bath/shower. The bed was one of the most comfortable beds I have ever slept in. It was also nice to have a refrigerator, microwave, and cooktop. Would definitely stay here again.

The best place I've ever stayed. The beds are so comfortable I slept all night. The rooms are so big and so nicely decorated. We stayed for our 25th Wedding Anniversary and I couldn't have been more happy than to discover this gem.

My husband and I arrived in Phoenix and because the Super Bowl was on that weekend decided to just drive up to Cave Creek. That was a great decision. We stopped at the restaurant by the Prickly Pear Inn for lunch. We checked out their shops and in doing so learned that they had rooms upstairs. I checked them out and we ended up staying for two nights. The restaurant downstairs was open for breakfast. Our room was lovely. Comfortable bed, kitchen, full fridge (if you wanted to cook you could) nice bathroom and balcony. The room was nicely decorated and really large. Great TV. We loved it. We relaxed and walked around the shops. I know it is a little more price wise but it was worth it. We would go again.

Room Tip: Our room was right at the top of the stairs and faced the back of the building. Quiet.

We were in town to get acquainted with the area for a possible winter second home. The Inn was a central location that worked really well. The room was large enough to not feel crowed during our stay and the bed was very comfortable. We ate out in local restaurants but also used the kitchen every day. We sat on the deck each evening and it was great to be outside. Even though it is located near night time businesses it was quiet in our room. We appreciated the staff texting about what we wanted.

What an adorable, spacious, comfortable & clean place to stay. I completely enjoyed the comfort and decor of my room. It felt like home away from home with all of the nice touches of fully stocked kitchen, nice sitting area to watch TV, great patio, very comfortable bed, and nice bathroom. I look forward to staying at the Prickly Pear again!

An unusual little place but a great experience. You check in via the gift shop. Once you realize you are in the right place it's very easy. The room was very large. The area is quiet. We were her just one night but it would be very comfortable for a longer stay.

We thoroughly enjoyed the quality of the Prickly Pear Inn. The room was awesome, especially the patio outside the room. Looking at the stars at night and mountains in the daytime, were memorable. The boutiques and quaintness of your enclave was appreciated.
