The room was immaculate, small (and the bathroom tiny), and very charming (and the shower excellent). We quite enjoyed our stay. A strength are the common areas. We lingered quite some time in front of the fire in the lobby and then on the second floor overlooking the lobby or on the porch watching the sky turn color. We really liked that the bar (and restaurant) were attached. We last stayed here in 1992. We enjoyed it then and enjoyed it in 2025.

A fun stop on a road trip but I wouldn't spend more than one night. The room didn't have a hair dryer or mini fridge. Room was big but the bathroom was tiny. They turn the air conditioner off in the winter which was inconvenient. It's heater only. The lobby is a must-see and it's right on the old Route 66. I've always wanted to stay here and I glad I did it.

Salsa is wonderful. The employees are kind and fun in the way I remember way-back-when.

Came for the history and uniqueness. Staff was friendly. Room was cute and comfortable. Only complaints were the ac is turned off in the winter but being on the 3rd floor it was 80 degrees in the room with the heater turned off. Fan on and windows being opened did not bring the temp down at all. It was a long, long, hot, sleepless night. The other was the toilet being so close to the wall you pretty much had to sit sideways but the bathroom being small it couldn’t go anywhere else so not much to fix there.
