What an amazing place. I'm so glad I didn't stay at a chain hotel. The place was quaint and so relaxing. I absolutely loved it there. It was a true gem.

Thank you for the review Gail. We apologize for the street noise you experienced. February is a busy time of year in Cave Creek and the bar district up the street attracts lots of motorcycles. We suggest you reserve one of the rooms on our north side next time as they are far away from any potential traffic noise. Feel free to call our front desk anytime and we would be delighted to suggest a perfect room. Thank you again for staying with us.

If you have any other suggestions that would hep us make our little hotel even better, we hope you will reach out to us directly. Thank you and hope to see you again soon at Prickly Pear Inn.

Response from The Owner of Prickly Pear Inn on 7 Jun 2021
Rebecca: We were expecting your review and want to thank you for leaving us this terrible review so that we have the opportunity to respond for all to see. We believe that reviews are actually a horrible way to rate a property since people like you believe you hold all the power and we are powerless to tell people our side of the story until we have a review to respond to. It is a shame that potential guests cannot see that you had a 2-night reservation and we were forced to ask you and your friends to leave after just 1-night. We pride ourselves in the fact that we offer our guests an upscale property where they can relax and experience all the great things that Cave Creek and Prickly Pear Plaza have to offer. We are a quiet property and definitely not a place where people come to party. Unfortunately, that was not the case with your loud group who clearly would be more welcome at a property that caters to your type of rude and inconsiderate people. We had guests staying in rooms far away from yours who called several times throughout the evening about your loud voices and for that we are very sorry. As we clearly pointed out when you were asked to leave, we have made a note in our records and am happy to say you are not welcome back at our property.

Never saw any staff, but it was superb.
We were only there for one night and since we arrived late, we didn’t get to see any staff. HOWEVER, their customer service was amazing, telling us how to get into our room after hours and was a breeze. And finally. The ROOM. It was spectacular! Loved the theme and everything was just so clean and modern! We even had a large balcony which you could easily fit 10 people on. It was such a good night, we were thinking about it when we stayed at the Holiday Inn the following nights 😂😂
