Sun Canyon Inn

We've stayed here four times - twice when moving to or from Sierra Vista and twice when visiting the town.

The good:

The price ($75-90 / night) was pretty good.  Other places are cheaper, but the value is fair to good.

You can't beat the location if you have to (or want to) spend time on Fort Huachuca.  It is also right across the street from a Circle K (great for picking up drinks or snacks for the room) and a short walk from the International Karoke, Sorry Gulch and a few other places to drink, if you are interested in that.  It was a minute walk from the late Daisy Mae's Steakhouse, now sadly closed.

The hotel also has a reasonably good restaurant and bar.  Its breakfast - usually included with your room - is a great way to start the day. While some distance from really good places to eat, it is within driving distance of a few.  If you are up for a short drive you can try La Casita on Fry Blvd., which offers great Mexican food, The Diner on Hwy 92 providing good 50-60s all-American fare, My Place (also on Fry), a good Mexican-Asian-American fusion restaurant, and Arirang, on Hwy 92 and Foothills, which offers authentic Korean meals.

Finally, the pool is nice and offers a great view of the Huachuca Mountains and is a good place to sit and unwind with a drink at the end of the day.

The so so:

The quality of the rooms is not high and most have a Motel 6 circa 1985 feel.  On the upside, they are generally clean and the staff - from the front desk to the cleaning team - were always friendly.

On balance while there are cheaper and more modern places, the Sun Canyon Inn remains a solid choice for people visiting Sierra Vista and Fort Huachuca.

I have stayed here for extended periods of time. Last time was in 2011, loved the little bar/grill on the first floor. Bar tender lady was totally awesome, and during happy hour kept the wine coming! The rooms were decent, and if I didn't now live in the area, I would likely stay here.

Great place to stay.  All the staff was very friendly and helpful.  Rooms and bathrooms were clean with great toiletries.  Pet friendly also.  They wanted to make sure their guests are happy and that was another great thing about this place.  They have a restaurant called the brushfire BBQ in the hotel that served good food, too.  They have a free brkfst buffet that serves real eggs, not the packaged kind. That was a bonus for me.
