Copper Mountain Motel

If I were to visit again, I would spend the extra money and go to the Travelodge in Globe. The rooms were cleaned at most once a week, however from the massive wad of hair clogging the shower drain to be less than that. Only two rolls of toilet paper were supplied to the room for the stay and if you were there for more than two days you would have to go to the front «office» and ask for more. Fresh towels would, again, only be supplied when the rooms are cleaned.
During my stay room 16 had to be fumigated as a guest was bitten during the night and had his eye swell shut.
The internet is very poor, one router for the entire complex; so if you were to try and connect at any time during the day, good luck (this is my third time trying to post this review).
Finally, they overbook rooms, an atrocious managerial system, forcing people to move rooms despite paying occupants already being inside.

My wife and daughters think motels are sleazy and gross, where happy earwigs flourish under yellow-​stained pillows. So, since I was travelling alone to visit the Boyce Thompson Arboretum, I jumped at the chance to stay at the Copper Mountain Motel, along Highway 60 in the old mining town of Superior.
The motel clerk had a few teeth missing and smelled like cigarettes, but he didn’t seem to be a psycho, a la Norman Bates. He kindly instructed me to park in front of my door, a convenience that only a small motel can offer. I was actually able to throw my stuff from the trunk of the car directly into the room without taking a step.
Inside, I didn’t see a «sanitized for your protection» banner across the toilet seat, but my room appeared clean, had a comfortable queen bed, nice TV, and decent wifi service. The efficiency included a cold fridge for my Coors Light, and a microwave for my gas station breakfast burrito.
With everything I needed for a pleasant and restful overnight accommodation, the room was the perfect man-​cave for my solo stay. There was no swimming pool, elaborate lobby or continental breakfast, but my wife and daughters might even agree to stay with me next time at the Copper Mountain Motel.

Exactly what we expected based on what we’d read. It’s not the Ritz Carlton, but for an ancient roadside motel out in the wilds of Arizona, it’s quite adequate and comfortable. The room was clean, the #1 requirement. AC worked reasonably well, though it was only late April — not sure how it would handle July. WiFi was serviceable, with occasional hiccups. Full-​size refrigerator in the room was handy. Made for a nice little one-​night getaway with the hounds in tow, which included a visit to Boyce Thompson Arboretum, and Porter’s in Superior for chow (don’t miss Porter’s, it’s great).

First, this is NOT a 4 or 5 star hotel /​motel. It’s really a motel. It rates 2 stars but I’m giving a high 2 ½ because the place was clean and the bed was very comfortable; flat screen 32 inch TV. Wifi was spotty, but when finally connected, it worked OK. Also the shower had plenty of hot water. This is not a fancy place; it’s very basic! Don’t believe anything other than that. The price for one night was $ 54 including tax! Cheap!

A friend and I stayed there this past weekend during an unexpected temperature drop in Phoenix. Our intention was to spend 2 nights camping in the Aravaipa Canyon however, the first night was so cold and with the wind picking up the 2^nd night, we decided to find a warmer place to sleep rather than our mummy bags in the tent!
The owner was very nice, accommodating and informative regarding the restaurants around town. We ended up going to Eduardo’s pizza & subs just down the street and it was really good pizza!
It was a lovely place to stay with flat screen tv and comfy bed. Above all it was clean and homey.

Great place to get out of the Phoenix area! The rooms come equipped with everything you’d need to be comfortable, and are clean. Plus the owners are really nice! :)

We stayed here for one night for a rock climbing trip in nearby Queens Creek Canyon. We checked out two rooms, and the lady at the front automatically gave us a small ‘hiker discount’, which was nice. The motel is apparently in the midst of a remodel, as one of our rooms was significantly nicer than the other. Both were clean and suitable for the price. One nice thing about this place is that it is within walking distance of some of the few restaurants in Superior. Make sure you get to the motel before 8 PM, or make arrangements for a late-​night key pickup if you can’t, because the office is only open from 8 AM to 8 PM.

As part of a large group, we stayed at this motel for only one night. The motel was a great place to start our AZ trip and though very small, the rooms were very clean and nice.
The owners, who were present during our stay, also treated us very well and I was able to chat and learn about their property a little bit more.
All in all, if I was in the area I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here. The rooms were very clean and it was a very comfortable stay. Only downside was the wifi, it is supposed to be free but was never able to connect.

Merlin, the owner, is great. Reasonable rates. Rooms are spotlessly clean and decorated. Good AC. I never did get the internet to work. Small drawback is there are no phones in the rooms.
Rather funny that this tiny former mine town is called Superior, because it decidedly is not.
