We loved this hotel so much. Loved the convenience of being able to walk everywhere. Loved the decor, the restaurant and shops right there and of course the ice cream shop!! Can't wait to come again. Loved the town, the hotel and the owners were super nice!!
Its a beautiful location with a gorgeous view of the surrounding mountains. Our room was inexpensive and included a kitchenette and very large outdoor patio. The staff were very friendly and accommodating . We definitely will stay there on a return visit.
Perfect location and very charming.

Love this hotel!!
Super cute hotel. Large room. Beautiful scenery. The rooms were very modern with cute location art. Staff were amazing.
I would stay there again for sure!!
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.
We love the Prickly Pear Inn. We stayed one night for my birthday party at Stumblina's Cantina. My guests, three couples, stayed at the Inn as well. We all commented we would stay at the Inn again when we were in town overnight. Our room was spotless, bed was great. Fun place to stay in Cave Creek.

Great location! Exceptionally clean! Extremely comfortable bed. Close to all kinds of restaurants and bars. We are definitely going back to this hotel. And I have never had that feeling before about a hotel. All kinds of shopping and amenities even within the Prickly Pear Plaza.
