If you’re looking for “unique”, look no further! Upon entry your eyes and sensibilities will be overwhelmed with western/ movie memorabilia! The decor in EVERY inch of the premises- lobby, gift shop, restaurant, bar and guest rooms is 100% reminiscent of movie making in years gone by. Each bedroom is a designated movie star’s- ours was the Robert Mitchum room. Yet, in spite of the kitschy atmosphere the food, drinks and accommodations are still commendable! Rooms are small but adequate, very clean and serviceable and the bed and linens great! Highly recommend the experience!

We absolutely loved our stay! The hotel lobby screams of the charm of the old southwest! Truly like stepping back in time! The rooms are very clean, cozy and nicely remodeled. We enjoyed souvenir shopping in the gift shop and had some tasty drinks at the bar. If you are passing through, this is a must see and stay!

Fun place with lots of history and beautiful decorations. Fun facts about their history and even a hidden room. Nice renovation so I understand recently and the hotel looks very nice. Our room was comfortable and well decorated. Very clean. Small bathroom as it is a historic building but we had everything we needed. Large lobby with lots of seating and old fashioned but well working elevator. Easy parking and nice restaurant. Highly recommended.
