This hotel was home to many movie stars of the 1940-60’s! It has been kept in fantastic condition and is a rare Route 66 hotel still operational! It is reminiscent of National Forest service lodges, lots of wooden beams and a warm atmosphere! The restaurant is excellent and the 49 bar is great! The bar tender has been there forever and is great to visit with! Stay for a magical Route 66 experience!

Fun place to stay but does need some attention.

Overall a very fun place to stay. Carpet in the lobby is a little tired and the stairs because they're old are a little treacherous. They offer an elevator that never opened. Finally, the air conditioning in the room never kicked on. In fact it went to heat so I roasted.

The hotel is nostalgic and fun to visit. We had two good meals in the restaurant. Staff are very friendly. We booked a "deluxe" room with a king bed, which was very comfortable. However, it was the tiniest room with the tiniest bathroom that we have ever stayed in! I recommend the hotel and restaurant, but I don't recommend the deluxe rooms.

Staying at this hotel was like traveling back to Route 66 as it must have been in its Heyday as a Hollywood getaway. There were photos of different actors and actresses studding the walls and each room was named after a different one of them. We entered in to a beautiful and welcoming Southwestern foyer with a nice cozy fire waiting for us. We loved our room with its own private balcony, the Paulette Goddard room. We had an old fashioned telephone and a clock radio in our room too! We had both dinner last night and breakfast this morning. The names of the menu items were all in keeping with the movie star theme, so that was fun to read. What a fun stop on our trip to Mexico. t West

This hotel has so much charm, we stayed in the annex and it brought you back in time, from the old style fridge and telephone to the accessories and paintings around the room. The bed was so comfortable, it was clean and tidy. I would have liked a more powerful shower but it did the job! The locations is on old route 66 but close to the interstate so convenient for all travellers. It was a little noisy as it is so close to the road but I could forgive that for 1 nights stay. I would definitely stay again.
