Summary: Staying at this historic hotel was a great experience. Loved the reception area, the decor was amazing and learning about the history of the hotel was great. The old fashioned lift was fun and it was good to have a gift shop on site. The room was well decorated. Our kids loved the western theme. The bathroom is small, but nicely done. The air con was quite noisy but there was a ceiling fan, so we used that instead. We were suprised at the area around the hotel, we thought it would be a nice place to explore, but it didnt feel that safe and there wasnt much to see.

Summary: Great retro place with great food and awesome memorabilia.
dale Aug 8, 2025 06:43:05 AM
Summary: this is an old hotel living on what used to be. You'll notice that most of the people in the hotel have gray hair such as myself. Because all of us if we can still remember, remember all these one time famous people that stayed here. In a few years no one will know why this hotel was famous. Alsoas having been in the Mexican food business for years, those are the worst fajitas I've ever had. I should've chewed on my shoe. Also take note there's not an outlet in the bathroom. And the bathrooms are slightly larger than what you get on a decent airplane.😀😀

Summary: Amazing room in the newer wing. This place is very special- full with character, history and a friendly staff. Most likely the best hotel on Route 66.
Brooke Aug 5, 2025 01:29:42 AM
Summary: The room was nice! Service food and bar were great. I wish the pool would have been open. Also this property has so much potential for elevated experiences, such as additional patio settings, live entertainment, etc
