If ever in Gallup, make sure to stay here. Such a cute hotel. The staff is wonderful and very helpful. Room was extremely quiet (except for a few ppl that don’t know how to close their doors and the elevator door quietly). Bathroom is very tiny but, cute. Only negative thing about the bathroom is the toilets don’t have lids which, is pretty unsanitary.

Easy check in and staff was great offered a room in main building which I took because I wanted the historic room, she explained that the room would be smaller in which it was and we managed. The bartender was awesome, and enjoyed the drinks. The only downfall was not enough coffee in room, the bed was against two walls, my husband had to pull a chair over for his c-pap machine and when we had breakfast they were hammering with the remodeling.

Great old West hotel

This is a great property and excellent memorabilia. However the handicap accessibility is lacking. If they would prevent parking in front of the patio path, and or add a side ramp to get down to it we could have been much happier.
