Love this hotel, just a throwback to a simpler time and the history is wonderful. Rooms were smaller, but you have to understand back when this was when they built it. Everything was smaller, but it was wonderful. Definitely go again.

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.

Property is nice/interesting. When I travel now I like to have a mocrowave and refrigerator in my room--that is not the case here. The staff was very helpful letting me use the microwave in the office. Would still prefer it in my room. I would stay here again.
