Unsafe and Unprofessional
Hotel completed a mandatory evacuation for a carbon monoxide leak during the night and DID NOT EVACUATE US. Went down to check out to find security guards staring at us whose response was “we thought the hotel was empty and had no record of you” After we checked out I received a text from hotel asking us to come to front desk as there was an evacuation, so clearly trying to cover themselves once they realized what they did. We had two young children in our group. I would recommend nobody ever stay here.

Great renovation job but service was lacking
I wanted my stay to be amazing. I lived at this hotel for a few weeks as a child so was feeling nostalgic when I made my reservation. And they've done a great job with the renovation of the hotel. The lobby area is beautiful and the “annex” rooms are fully-decked out in Route 66 kitch. But we had problems from the start. I’d specifically reserved a room in the old part of the hotel (the area where I’d stayed as a child) and, though the hotel had texted me earlier in the day to let me know they would be available to help me with anything during the stay, she failed to mention that I wasn’t going to get my room due to some kind of a gas leak in the main hotel. So had to settle for an annex room. Then went to the 49er Bar and Restaurant for drinks and dinner and both were packed with people and terribly under-staffed. Even the staff were complaining about it. Luckily we were in no rush. Had a comfortable night in the annex but awoke to a message that the hot water would be turned off at 9 am (2 hours before check-out time) for some kind of repair. Again, no advance warning. We had to change our morning plans and scramble to get showers. Was just really disappointed by the service. Hoping this was an isolated weekend of problems because otherwise, the hotel could be a really fun destination for Route 66 enthusiasts.

Interesting older hotel. Nice break from cookie-cutter chains. Friendly, helpful service from desk and room staff. Had breakfast and dinner in hotel restaurant, well above average and reasonably priced. Will return.

Route 66 is a very dirty, unsafe area here
We stayed at this hotel 33 years ago with out young children & wanted to go again. The hotel is looking run down on the outside and in a REALLY rough area. The inside is as good as it can be with modern conveniences. Not impressed with restaurants try on a Mexican dish but it’s nice they’re trying to save history!
