No outdoor scenery around the hotel or on the street the hotel is located. The street and property lack foliage. The street needs commercial updating and care.

Throwback to a different time

Very cute vintage/historic hotel with a ton of character!! The best was the vintage elevator that required manual opening of two metal doors! Rooms are small because it’s old but I loved the vibes!!

Route 66 historic western hotel

A funky historic hotel with lots of character…and a warm fireplace in the great room. Beds were comfortable, we were in a smaller (king size) bedroom and both the room and bathroom were rather small. The restaurant next door was excellent for both dinner and breakfast. We will return.

The lobby was very unique and beautiful. The service desk personnel were great. My only issue was the restaurant which had very good reviews. I was seated promptly but then sat there for 30 minutes and no one took my order so I left and went to a different restaurant.
