The Hermosa Inn

We have been venturing to phoenix 1-2 times in Jan/Feb for the past dozen or more years and have tended to sample all sorts of luxury properties. For this years long weekend we opted to return to this beautiful boutique property after a 4-year hiatus. After revisiting (and being blessed with mild 75 and sunny weather this year), my nomadic ways may be at an end. Our 3/ night stay in room 150 was superb. We continue to love the spacious room, huge shower, gas fireplace and large comfortable leather easy chairs. I’m please to report there is ample bedside power (my note from the previous review) but sadly still the same crummy shower head. This place is an oasis of tranquility with lush colorful grounds, and a fantastic on site restaurant that attracts a big crowd most every night. For our most recent visit I called to let them know my wife would be arriving early and they somehow were able to work out an early check-in which really helped us out ! Thanks Deanne! When we start planning our visit for next January-the Hermosa will be at the top of my list.

Property grounds are magnificent and upkeep is obvious. Feels like a tropical paradise right in the desert while preserving the desert flora. Room was tucked away but did face other patios of units. Fortunately, no one was out on their patio when we were, so was very private. Original design elements in the unit such as cathedral hardwood ceilings with skylight (had filtered shade on it), saltillo tile floors, french doors to patio were so beautiful. The unit preserved the feel of the old Southwest, but was updated with modern and spacious shower and plush robes, so had a spa feel. Very large mini fridge in closet which was very nice, and a safe for valuables. Furniture in room was quality - leather chairs, wood poster bed. Everything showed attention to detail and was relaxing and welcoming.

There is a step down (1 step) from entryway and bathroom leading to the main bedroom that has a nightlight but can be hard to miss if you come in carrying things. Perhaps put a handrail or something there.

Friendly small hotel in local neighbourhood

Couldn’t walk anywhere. The pool is tiny and crowded

Love how friendly everyone was and how relaxed the place is.

A lovely resort with everything we wanted. Lon’s is an amazing restaurant for brunch, dinner and everything in between. The team was amazing and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Our room was, as always, wonderful (clean, comfortable, spacious) and the grounds are beautiful. BUT...the robes are small, lightweight, not at all luxurious, and there was only warm (bordering on tepid) water in the shower. My husband had also pre-ordered champagne to be left in the room, and they had "no record of it" (though they did deliver that fairly quickly). It seems for the price Hermosa Inn could at least invest in better robes and an improved water-heating system.

Dinner was great

Would not change anything

Great hotel

Need to get younger crowd

Character & charm, landscaping, fires going…

No AC and small spa

Everything was so peaceful and comfortable. The benches everywhere, the serenity, the understated luxury all added up to a lovely stay. We couldn’t see another building or hear a single car, which was remarkable considering the location near business centers.
