The property had a vintage feel to it not like your ordinary modern hotels. It was absolutely enchanting, the room we stayed in Marxs brother's suite was perfect except for the shower, the drainage was not draining properly. And the room was not hunted as people had told me. It was peaceful spacious and beautiful. We will stay they again for sure.

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.

A step back in time

We enjoyed the retro feel of this historic Route 66 Hotel. Only complaint is maybe more bar staff on holidays as with only one bar tender he was unable to handle the influx of people there. Also, if the pool is not available a discount should be offered as that was one of the main reasons we booked this hotel.

Best hotel in Gallup, maybe even the Southwest. We had an amazing stay. We ate at their restaurant, which was excellent, both the food and the service. We received a free tour from their security guard too, which helped us have a deeper appreciation for the city and the hotel’s history. We will be back!
