About
the Little Daisy Motel
In
the heart of Cottonwood and the Verde Valley,
the Little Daisy Motel has been a part of the
community well over four decades. We are proud
to be a family owned business since 1989. We offer
clean, quiet and comfortable rooms at reasonable
year-round prices.
The
Little Daisy Motel was named after the Little
Daisy Hotel that was built in Jerome in 1917.
The hotel was built by United Verde Extension,
and today the private residence stands out on
the hillside overlooking the UVX operations and
all of the Verde Valley. The 100 room hotel opened
with a gala celebration on New Year’s Eve
1918, and operated about 20 years as a modern
hotel for miners, officials, and hundreds of vacationing
visitors. It was eventually sold for salvage for
a few hundred dollars. So welcome to the namesake
of that wonderful time of the roaring twenties
in Jerome!
