A step back in time! Great experience!

The room was nice! Service food and bar were great. I wish the pool would have been open. Also this property has so much potential for elevated experiences, such as additional patio settings, live entertainment, etc

This is a unique property--historical, but updated. The decor is in the theme of the movies that were filmed in the area and the stars that were in them. There is lots to look at.

Awesome atmosphere, history, and some of the most incredible and friendly customer service from front desk staff! They always made my stay super easy and convenient. My only concern is the lack of area to let dogs go potty. There's only one grassy spot around the whole premises and it's got a sign for no dogs on the grass. I believe they're still undergoing more renovations, so for a dog friendly hotel, I hope their final status will have better areas to accommodate the pets going to the bathroom.

The property is unique, historical, and the room’s decor is fun. Route 66 in the 1940s and 1950S is what they’re going for, and the designers did a beautiful job. It’s a good place to stop for the night, and it’s dog friendly.

This place is absolutely stunning. The cleanliness is off the charts. They've really done an amazing job at preserving history. This is more than a stay. It's an experience. All of the staff have been super professional and the security constantly being around is such a wonderfully safe feeling. The history of this place is just amazing. We'll definitely stay again.
