This hotel burned down, not once, but twice. Hotel owner, David Connor, took advantage of his properties insurance and rebuilt and third time in 1898. The building that stands today was one of the finest hotels of its time; all of the second floor rooms had electricity, wood stoves and call buttons. The first floor had card rooms, billiard tables and other activities to entertain the guests. The hotel even owned a bus that took guests to the train depot.

Jerome and Tombstone have been turned into tourist attractions. The most famous of the Arizona ghost towns are the semi-ghost tourist locations like Jerome and Tombstone. Arizona also has many very desolate ghost town sites where there is little left.
