The Jonquil Motel
Your Roadtrip Oasis in Historic Bisbee, Arizona
Bisbee’s Original Motor Lodge
Built in 1937 along Historic Highway 80, The Jonquil has been a laid-back haven for travelers for over eight decades—first as John Quill’s family-run service station and motor lodge, and now as a cozy basecamp for exploring Bisbee’s historic streets, art-driven culture, and mountain-town charm. Whether you’re road-tripping through Southern Arizona or settling in for a weekend getaway, The Jonquil offers vintage comfort, walkable access to downtown, and hosts who know the local stories that make Bisbee unforgettable.
THE HOTEL
A Bisbee landmark since 1937, the Jonquil blends roadside charm with the easygoing character of a historic desert town. Once a family-run service station and motor lodge on old U.S. Route 80, it now offers comfortable lodging just steps from downtown shops, galleries, and restaurants. Rooted in classic American road-trip spirit, the Jonquil is simple, inviting, and unmistakably Bisbee.
