As for where to stay in Tombstone, there’s a good range of accommodation right in the town itself, including hotels, motels, RV parks, cabins, B&Bs, and even a former bordello. All of the Tombstone accommodations featured here (in alphabetical order) are an easy walking distance to the main street and all of the Tombstone attractions.
None of these accommodations is more than a ten-minute walk from the center, and some are right in the thick of it. To give some sense of their location, and in case mobility is an issue for you, we’ve given the approximate walking time to the OK Corral, which is pretty much in the center of Tombstone. The Visitor’s Center is also right next door to it.
Where to Stay in Tombstone
Allen Street Inn
Three minutes.
Allen Street is the main street through the center of Tombstone and where all the action is, so this is a pretty good location. Rooms are simply decorated with a slightly western feel to them, but all are spotlessly clean, have bathrooms, TVs, Wi-Fi, a patio, and AC – vital in southern Arizona.
Crazy Annie’s Bordello B&B
Ten minutes.
There are just four guest rooms here in motel style and they are all decorated in period 1880s western fashion and named after some of Tombstone’s real ‘working girls’. There’s Wi-Fi, full bathrooms, a saloon on the premises with some evening activities, and room rates include a continental breakfast.
Katie’s Cozy Cabins
Five minutes.
Located on Allen Street, these really are cosy cabins. Each will sleep four-to-six people with an upstairs loft, a private bedroom downstairs with bunk beds, and a living room couch that can also fold out as a bed. They all have AC, heating (you can get cold nights in winter), ceiling fans, a porch with a swing, and kitchenettes, making them ideal for self-catering.
Larian Motel
Three minutes.
The motel is on Fremont Street, the main Highway 80 that goes through the town. It’s one block from Allen Street and not too busy despite Tombstone’s popularity. It was opened in 1952 and retains that retro charm, having become something of a landmark: you can’t miss it if you’re driving through the town. Rooms have free Wi-Fi, satellite TV, fridge, AC, and all are non-smoking, on the ground floor, and with kids 12 and under staying for free.
Sagebrush Inn
Five minutes.
The Sagebrush Inn is on a quieter side street that’s still only a few blocks from the action on Allen Street. Built in 1947, stars such as John Wayne and Maureen O’Hara have stayed here while filming in Tombstone. In fact you can book to stay in the John Wayne Suite if you like! Alternatively, if you’re on a budget the inn also offers inexpensive smaller rooms, with small bathrooms. Rooms are all ground floor, motel-style, with porches and parking outside.
Silver Belt RV Park and Laundromat
Ten minutes.
Folks with RVs have a choice in Tombstone, with this place being furthest out but still only a short walk from everything along Allen Street. It only has nine sites so book well ahead, and they can accommodate vehicles 35ft-75ft (about 11-23 meters). There are two large restrooms, and a 24/7 laundromat. The park has free Wi-Fi, and some tent sites available too.
Silver Spur Homestead
Ten minutes.
Set on a slight elevation to the south of the center, with views over Tombstone, this glamping option offers a continental breakfast delivered to your door at 8am every morning. There’s a western-themed entertainment area for guests to share, with a 55” TV, darts, and a wood-burning stove. All tents have queen-sized beds, a private bathroom, and views over Tombstone and the Dragoon Mountains. The place is also eco-friendly, with solar power and composting toilets.
Stampede RV Park
Six minutes.
At the west end of the main Allen Street this RV Park has full hook-ups for any size of rig, but also offers bed and breakfast rustic cabins. There’s a breakfast (complimentary for B&B guests) served in the breakfast room with a full menu of home-made food, an on-site laundry, with tent sites available as well.
Tombstone Boarding House Inn
Four minutes.
This 3-star accommodation is a block and a half north of Highway 80 in a quiet location a few minutes’ walk from the center of town. They don’t serve breakfast but there are plenty of choices close by. Rooms are spotless and spacious, the hosts are friendly and a fount of local knowledge and history, and can boast of many repeat guests.
Tombstone Miners Cabins
Seven minutes.
This is another good location, walking distance from the center but in a quieter spot. The six cabins were built in 2020 and all have private balconies with views over the desert to the distant hills. They’re simple but comfortable, and the décor reflects the mining history of Tombstone while providing modern amenities such as Wi-Fi, satellite TV, fridge, freezer, microwave, coffee-making facilities, AC and heating, and full bathrooms.
The Tombstone Motel
Four minutes.
The Tombstone Motel is right on Highway 80 that runs through the town, but don’t worry about traffic noise as it doesn’t get that busy. There are 60 rooms altogether, with free Wi-Fi, cable TV, AC, and a guest laundry. Not all rooms have fridges and microwaves, so check ahead if that matters to you. For western history fans, this place was a livery stable when Wyatt Earp was walking the streets.
Tombstone San Jose House
Four minutes.
If you want a real slice of history with your accommodation, then this inn was built in 1879, the year that Tombstone was founded and when Doc Holliday and the three Earp brothers all arrived in town. Not surprisingly it has appeared in some of the many movies made in and about Tombstone. It’s a cute little place on Highway 80 with just three rooms offering free Wi-Fi, AC, TVs with Amazon Prime and Netflix, and free on street parking.
Trail Rider’s Inn
Seven minutes.
Just off Highway 80, this 2-star accommodation is a mix of motel and mini-RV park. There are 16 non-smoking rooms and a seasonal pool (unusual for Tombstone), as well as a hot tub and a BBQ patio. There’s free Wi-Fi and free parking, and all rooms have AC and fridges.
Virgil’s Corner Bed and Breakfast
Four minutes.
This B&B is indeed on the corner of Highway 80 where it swings into town, and with its bright exterior couldn’t be easier to find if you’re driving in from the north, coming down from I-10. It’s another place with historic connections as it was originally owned and occupied by Virgil Earp, Wyatt Earp’s elder brother., though it was rebuilt after a fire so isn’t the original home. It has four rooms with antique furnishings, AC/heat, Wi-Fi, DirectTV, Blu-ray players, and private bathrooms.
