I stayed at this hotel twice (Apr 4 and Apr 21). Upon arrival Apr 4, the clerk tried to give me an upstairs room in the annex, I refused it because of no elevator. I had reserved a king bed on the first floor. I finally settled on a king bed on the first floor of the main hotel. The room was very small, wall to wall bed. Before checking out I advised the clerk I was returning on the 21st and she assured me I would have a king bed on the floor of the annex. Upon arrival, I was told all we have left is two queen beds (not what I reserved). When I awoke the next morning there was no water in the shower, front desk clerk commented "Oh well, I'll notify maintenance" I will never stay at this hotel again and definitely never recommend it to others.

Even with the mix up, I would go back!

We reserved a Deluxe King room listed as having a king size bed and a sofa bed. We didn't need the sofa bed, but I liked the listed larger square footage to accommodate the sofa bed versus the standard King room. Unfortunately, we checked in about an hour or so before the restaurant was to close, so we decided to eat first before we went to our room. After dinner we brought our luggage to our room and when we went in, we realized that we did not have the deluxe king, we had the standard. I went back to the front desk, but no one was there, so I just went back to the room and made due. To be fair the room was very nice, and the bed was great, but there was no room to maneuver. The room was just too small. Other than that this hotel rocks. The place is just cool, and the gift shop and restaurant, were top notch. Also, I left my personal pillow in the room after checking out, and later that day I received a call telling me that it was at the hotel. I was too far away to go back, but that was very nice of them to call me.

Loved our 1 night stay at this historical hotel. We had dinner abd breakfast at the restaurant. The only critical was we had no where to take our dogs for potty and was a little caught off guard by the homeless hanging out at the gas station next door.

My father was the electrician for a remodel in 1963. He spoke a lot about the location and the different western stars he met over the years in the area. Doing work at ranches for actors. We brought a small resin statue made of my father and took him to all the places in NM,UT and Az that he was so found of. Thank you for our continued family memories

The hotel has a nice western's atmosphere, its decorations, room names, etc. all related to westerns. That is the only positive thing I can say. We stayed in the main building, which is old. Our room (Delux 2 queen beds) was very small, with no refrigitator, microwave or AC. Bathroom was extremely small, no countertop, just a sink. The sound insulation from inside and outside noise was quite poor. The room was clean. I am glad we only stayed there one night. It was interesting to visit, but we will not stay here again. It is lacking basic amenities and wasn't comfortable overall. Parking is an issue as well, there is not enough spaces to accomodate hotel's guests and and busy restaurant's diners.

Cute charming and quaint. When booking this hotel, please keep in mind that this is an original, older building. It is three stories and the elevator his old school, which was kind of fun. The doors are not automatic.You do have to open and shut them yourself. My room had a single queen.It was small, but it was just me.So I had no problem with that. The bed was comfy, and I had a cute little balcony where I was able to open the door and have a nice cool breeze throughout the night. They do have a restaurant, but breakfast is not included in the price. I would definitely stay here again
