The Shady Dell

Normally we stay in Old Bisbee, but we weren't able to find a room. We had friends who were staying at the Shady Dell, so we booked one of the trailers. The 1950s theme everywhere is very cute, but overall it was basically an expensive camping trip. I'm not sure why the rooms are advertised for $85 a night, we paid over $140. There is no one in the office, so your check-in instructions are scotch taped to the door and your key is left in the door lock of the trailer. Our friends needed extra towels and a space heater, but were not able to get them because no one was in the office, and no one returned their call to the office number. There are a lot of old cars, neon signs, an old carnival rides that look like they are going to be restored eventually. But in the meantime, it has a very "Fal

A trailer was booked in Sept for a November stay which needs to be canceled due to a change of schedule. I have been trying to get someone to cancel and refund the reservation which is anything but possible. The email address that is given is not a good email address. No one acknowledges phone calls.. Based on other reviews i am seeing i am going to assume this is not a reputable establishment. I will add another review if my reservation is not canceled and I will pursue taking him to small claims court.

Did a staycation at The Shady Dell in the 1947 Chriscraft boat so awesome and cozy had a wonderful stay. The outside couch on the back deck could sue some help lol. But overall excellent time!!!

Such a great little spot. They definitely make you feel like you've stepped back in time. Jennifer and her team are incredibly friendly and welcoming. This is our new favorite place to stay when going to bisbee. Great breakfast as well and they do a special dinner every month.

Do NOT recommend! We were really looking forward to this stay, but it was such a disappointment. There was no one to be found to check in and we never saw an employee over two days and one night. There are fire pits but no firewood. The WiFi didn't work, the trailers are not well cleaned, the windows don't work well and they were dirty. There was not a single piece of silverware in our trailer, but there was two plates and two cups. Vintage does not have to mean musty and dirty! This could be a great place with a LOT of cleaning, and the ability to contact a staff member while you're there.
