Tombstone San Jose House

What guests think

At Tombstone San Jose House, travellers consistently praise the walkable Old West location and historic character, while noting that the simple, rustic rooms reflect the building’s age with small bathrooms, dated fixtures, and occasional quirks with heating, cooling, and fans.

Cleanliness feedback is mixed, ranging from very clean rooms to reports of dust, moldy or yellowed shower curtains, musty odors, pests, and maintenance oversights. Service is often described as friendly and helpful, but several guests struggled to reach staff due to limited office hours or no on-site desk, and some had check-in or communication issues. Many units have basic kitchenettes and parking right by the door; entertainment leans toward app-based TV and Wi-Fi, which some found inconvenient. Best suited to travelers who want period charm and can forgo some modern amenities.

Very cute but outdated. Old windows with no screens. Ceiling fan would only stay on if light was on. Only one wall AC in back bedroom that was horribly loud and extremely old, for entire area. Tv had no local channels. APPs only. Only 1 tv. No table. Back bedroom window opens to see the wall of the next building. Very cute property. Historical property but if your looking for modern amenities this not the place for you.

This was perfect for staying in downtown Tombstone. The vibe was western. Beds were comfortable and room was spacious. Very close to all the stores in Tombstone and we were able to park our car right beside our front door. Very nice stay for a building built in 1879! Check in was smooth. The only downfall was the shower and vanity was super small so not much room for our toiletries.

We liked the fact that it was the oldest lodging in Tombstone, and it was in walking distance to the town. We didn't like the uncleanliness of the room. Dirt, garbage was found under the night stand, the kitchen sink is grossly dirty, especially the drain. The shower floor was a bit scary. The windows were not secure, there was no lock inside to keep anyone out in case they knew the code to the door's punch in numbers. We blocked the door with a cane. We tried to lock the windows, they are very old and stiff. It was noisy from the main road, huge trucks passing through in the evening and night that didn't during the day.

When we got there we were greeted by a huge spider. The place is dingy and literally falling apart. The walls were wet. When we got back from diner we found a scorpion in the sink and multiple roaches! We almost slept in the car. There was a huge gap under the door were bugs and rodents can walk right in. Says Wi-Fi but there was none. Says room service. This was a joke. Don’t stay here. It’s like a tent with holes in it!!

We checked in at 3 pm and left at 3:40 pm. Overall the worst experience in tombstone we've ever had. Room could have used a deep cleaning. Black gunk around the drain in the sink. The area we were allowed to park was the middle of an ant bed. They took the money out prior to the stay. Expensive lesson but we won't go back.

Checked into this property prior to doing a ghost tour, unfortunately we did not check the beds prior to doing the ghost tour and when we returned to the room at 11pm, discovered the bed was full of what looked like roach droppings. We also found a dead cockroach in the shower. Contacted the office with no answer. We ended up driving an hour to find a hotel with availability in the middle of the night. Two days have past and management has still not called up back and we have no received a refund for a room we never even stayed in due to it’s condition.

Very old room with a historic appeal. It’s not the Ritz. The door was very difficult to open, the room was quaint and dirty feeling. We chose not to shower as we thought we might get dirtier or electrocuted. Both probably not true. The location was great and the historic feeling of the building made it worth the money. I’d probably stay again for 1 night but not longer.

Felt like stepping back into the Wild West. Large gap/draft under the front door and cracks around the windows. Dust on lampshade, let shower run for 5 minutes to get hot water and drain was slow in shower. Shower curtains were yellow at bottom. Bed was comfortable.

There is no way to contact the office, because there isn't one. The fan in the room would not work without the light being on. The room 2 queen size beds in separate rooms. Air in one room,no air in the other so with no air and the fan not working unless the light on, made it a little difficult to sleep, so i had to take the light bulb out.

Our stay in the Wyatt Earp room was better than I was expecting for such an old building. It was clean with a decent working AC and bathroom. I would have given 5 stars across the board except I had an issue with not being able to turn on the overhead fan without turning on the light as well. So to have no light, I had to have no fan. That wasn’t too big of a deal in the long room. I would definitely consider staying here in the future!

The bedroom and bathroom are tight and the decor is aged (intentionally). Everything was very clean. It took a bit to raise the clerk when we got in and when we were leaving, but he was very friendly and took care of what we needed. It’s kind of a strange set up as there’s no actual office. Parking was right in front of the room door. A very convenient location.

The microwave was a little dirty but the interesting historic features and 70’s vibe made it full of personality and worth it, hence the 5 stars. The manager and owner were very responsive and helpful when I had a problem (my own fault) with the door. Tombstone’s 1st lodging house - 1879 - and location ideal and very walkable to all the action. We stayed in room 4 Doc Holliday. I’d definitely stay there again!

Overall we were pleased with our stay. Even for New Years Eve the area was quiet, tge room was warm and comfortable and had everything we needed. We will stay again.

I had reached out to the property multiple times (as their instructions ask) because I was going to be arriving late. I never received a response from them or a call back. When I arrived I rang the bell multiple times (as instructed on the door) and made attempts to call the number listed on the door and there was no answer. Due to this I was unable to utilize the room and had to find another place to stay for the night. I did what was asked of me and I did reach out to let the property know I would be later. But they did not hold up there end. I was unable to stay in the room that was prepaid for due to their lack of return communication and hospitality. I fully intended to stay in the room that night and was physically unable to due to the reasons listed above. I am incredibly unhappy with this lack of hospitality and customer service. Don’t bother trying to stay here.
