Second stay

This is our second stay. We love it! Great atmosphere, friendly staff, clean rooms.. the charm and history are amazing that go with the hotel. We try and come every couple of years.
jeaninne, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The main hotel itself is terrific with a lot of movie history. The decor in the rooms in the annex were fab. The restaurant was pretty good. Love the menu with all the movie star reference. The area is not great. Not at all pet friendly or not good for service animals as there really is not a place for them to walk.

All I can say is WOW!!! Rooms are so unique with ‘60’s decor. I could go on and on but just need to say that I told my husband we needed to have a family trip here and we live in Illinois. The restaurant was delicious, the room was wonderfully clean and the staff was the greatest.

Respite on the Desert

This was not a hotel as much as an experience. What a intriguing time travel into the past from the rustic ranch house lobby with natural woods, Southwest murals, unique antiques, eclectic chandeliers, Native American rugs and accents! This place tells a story and we as the readers absorb every word. Speaking of, the hidden bookcase room was a special surprise! Brunch was an amazing respite after a four day desert backpacking and camping expedition.

10/10 Exceptional

Overall a Nice hotel: our room with two queen sized beds was big. The shower facility was small and water stream from the shower head was lousy. Nice photo gallery (2nd floor) and fireplace in lobby. Gift shop well equipped but pricy.
