Disliked: Cleanliness
check in was slow. i was disappointed with the room: that bathroom is intolerably small. the shower curtain and the door are shoulder to shoulder. very uncomfortable space in the bathroom. there were crumbs on the chair and the floor next to the bed. no screen on the window. grounds were beautiful and well maintained. so i'm disappointed because i was looking forward to this trip and the room was uncomfortable and dirty.

We stayed here as a stop roadtripping from Denver to Scottsdale. Its a fun throwback, kinda kitchy and cool with the Route 66 theme. We styayed in the Annex because we had a dog. The traffric noise is real even on a Sunday night. The bar is super cute, great food and drinks as well as kind service. The BEST Indian gifts store too. Unique and memorable stay!
