I returned to this gem to meet a friend for lunch at the ZuZu Restaurant. We met a little after the normal lunch hour, so we were lucky enough to have a relatively quiet meal and to could catch up on what we both have been doing. She's an artist, I'm a writer, so our paths only cross when we can find time from our busy schedules to make it happen. We like to find places to meet where we will be inspired. Hotel Valley Ho is definitely one of those little spots of inspiration in our valley.
We, of course, took the tour with Ace Bailey again. My friend had never been to the Hotel Valley Ho, although she is a long time resident of the Phoenix area. Like so many others, who don't even know this gem exists.
History always inspires. This was my second tour (and probably not my last!) and I learned and saw nooks and crannies that I missed the first time around. Was I inspired? You bet! I have a short story brewing in my head. Setting? The Hotel Valley Ho, of course.
I know every city has their little islands of history and inspiration . . . but I am sure none that will take you back to a place and time in history like the Hotel Valley Ho does! Do not pass up this opportunity to be inspired!
