At a Glance

    Pros

  • ideal for mountain bikers looking to take advantage of the craters many trails
  • ask staff about "cyclists' packages."

    Cons

  • no views to speak of
  • other than the crater, which is a daytime activity, not much to do nearby at night

Ramon Inn Review

There's nothing rugged about a stay at this charming desert hotel. The four-story building has no elevator, but the accommodations are entirely comfortable. Stay in a pastel-and-white studio apartment (for one or two) or a two- or three-room suite (for four to six guests); suites have well-equipped kitchenettes. The lobby has an open fireplace for chilly winter nights. The 20-yard-long heated indoor swimming pool would not be out of place at any luxury hotel. Helpful staff are happy to arrange for Jeep tours, horseback tours with instructors from the nearby Alpaca Farm, or moonlit tours when there is a full moon. Even if you're not staying here, the restaurant ($$) is worth a visit; hearty buffet meals are enlivened by condiments made by local cooks.
