Safford, AZ hotels or motels

We will be heading to Safford the first week of October for a couple days. What is a good hotel to stay at that is not to expensive-maybe a breakfast included or not? What is a good place to eat at that is not to expensive?

Great question. Here are several budget-friendly hotel/motel options in Safford, AZ, plus some affordable places to eat.

Where to Stay:

  • Safford Inn & Suites — Clean, mid-range motel with refrigerators and microwaves in rooms, free Wi-Fi, and complimentary toiletries.
  • Economy Inn Safford — Very affordable, simple rooms, free parking, basic amenities, and a good base for exploring the area.
  • Motel 6 Safford — Low-cost, well-rated, offers free Wi-Fi, micro-fridges, and an outdoor pool.
  • Days Inn by Wyndham Safford — Around $79/night for some dates, includes basic amenities; a good value for a clean, dependable stay.
  • Cottage Bed & Breakfast — If you want a cozier, more local feel, this B&B gives a pleasant alternative and is listed in the town lodging guide.

Where to Eat (Budget-Friendly):

  • Main Street Café — A local café on West Main Street with a variety of breakfast and lunch options, reasonably priced.
  • Jerry’s Restaurant — A family-friendly diner-style place in Safford with classic American fare at good prices.
  • A Step Back in Time Coffee & Deli — More of a deli/café atmosphere; great for sandwiches, coffee, and light bites.
  • Dairy Queen — If you’re looking for something quick, casual, and very affordable, there’s a DQ on Thatcher Blvd.

Tips:

  • Book your hotel early — October is not peak tourist season, but Safford still has limited lodging options.
  • If you’re driving in, check the motel locations to minimize back-and-forth — the Economy Inn and Days Inn are both conveniently located.
  • For dinner, local diners like Jerry’s or the Main Street Café are your best bet for good food without breaking the bank.

Hope this helps, and have a great stay in Safford!
