Southwest Charm

This is a quaint, historical hotel. Rooms are very small, especially the bathroom, but the staff is wonderful, it’s convenient to the freeway, and they have an in-hotel bar and restaurant that is top notch!

10/10 Exceptional

Great stop on our road trip.

Our room was very clean with comfortable bed. I liked the little patio/ balcony off of our room. Bathroom was small but in the style of 1930’s - very nice. Liked they had little bottles of lotion, shampoo etc. Very nice courtyard where we ate dinner & had drinks.

Cool place

We love this hotel and will stay here again. But…this stay we had a room with a noisy AC and a too soft bed, thus not a very restful stay. Staff was wonderful as always and breakfast was very good.
