Absolutely enjoyed it and thought it was just fine. Old but historic. Stayed in main building, Rooms are small but adequate and clean. Great Lobby. Staff at restaurant was extremely friendly and food was good. It is New Mexico and the population is generally poor. Gallup is a corridor for migrants and trafficking but the hotel has security. We had no problems.

This is a retro hotel right on historic Route 66. Gorgeous lobby with a roaring fire. Little old fashioned at check in. Took longer than it should. they had luggage carts so that was good. The room was small and the bathroom tiny. Closet tiny. It worked if you did not have much with you. There was a desk and chair. Unfortunately the room was boiling all night long and no matter what i did to the thermostat it just kept pumping heat. I did not realize i needed to turn it off. We opened the window. We ate dinner and the waitress was not good. She got our order wrong and blamed on the kitchen. She did not listen or ask all the questions she should have. We are both Celiacs (meaning no gluten) we asked what was GF and she said she would ask then came back to take our order and we said well what is GF she said oh I forgot. Then the manager served our food and had to correct the mistakes. The problem was no staff seemed to really care if we were doing well or not including desk staff they were nice just not engaged. I would say this place is quaint and retro but better for a single traveler not a couple unless you make sure to book a bigger room. Another plus was security in the outdoor parking lot. So more good and bad. But very cool place.

Property was unique with history and charm, really enjoyed the fireplace in lobby. Only negatives were the room and bathroom were very small and the shower didn’t have great pressure, other than that, great place. I believe they have bigger rooms, if stayed again would book larger room and bathroom.

Unique hotel but skip the bar/restaurant

The pictures on the website make this hotel look way better than it is. Cute place and atmosphere but the ac was blowing hot air. Do not go to the bar/restaurant as we faced discrimination and were barely served. That is why my review is worse.
