I saw a post today by a fellow writer and friend about Jerome Grand Hotel, sad news indeed. The hotel is listed in my Haunts of the Southwest book as a place to stay and eat. There are other restruants and hotels in Jerome to stay at during your visit, so please visit and at least drive by the Grand Hotel. It is not known when the hotel will repoen.  Read more about it here:
