The staff, property and rooms are incredible. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The only issue is the area as man people are lost to drugs, as is the case all over our country. Be mindful and cautious of this. Otherwise my family and I give the hotel a 10 out of 10. Fantastic!

Five stars is not enough for this property… There isn’t one item that hasn’t been considered and delivered beautifully for your stay! Besides being a throwback to the past… All amenities are beautifully and tastefully presented! You will be telling all of your friends and family about this place after your stay! Go! Stay! Enjoy!

The location was in the middle of town. Access left and right to food, store, and freeway. The Route 66 look was awesome. The room was comfortable and large. We had a suite which were 2 adjoining rooms with 1 King and 2 beds in the other. The family was very happy. The room had a record player which for kids that don't know what that is or a pay phone, were talking points and likeness. The actual key to a room took us back years from the normal key card which was cool.

We had a good experience with our family in the suite. Plenty of space and the housekeeper even brought us more sheets for the couch bed before we had to ask. The kids loved the old elevator and the lobby area. I love the old unique hotel feel. So with old buildings come fun quirks so we were all good with the hotel vibe. We’d definitely stay again. We liked Gallup too and found a great city playground.

Property has been renovated and the rooms are great! Worked out great for our family. The history of the hotel is really interesting as well. My only complaint was the rooms were slightly dirty and there were some cobwebs. Note that the family suite does not have a microwave or bathtub (if you have little kids). Overall positive stay and I would return.

We got the family suite with 2 queens and 1 king. Both rooms were clean, comfortable, and absolutely adorable. I loved the decorations and feel. We stayed in the Motel side and walked to Hotel for fun. The restuarnt was good too! My only complaint was having a record player instead of a microwave. We cannot wait to stay again but in the Hotel this time!

Our family of five stayed in the family suite and it was plenty of room. The kids loved seeing the movie memorabilia all over the lobby. They thought it was like a Disney hotel with all the cool theming. We also enjoyed lunch at the restaurant, which was delicious and affordable. The staff is so kind and helpful! This hotel is a must stop on your Route 66 adventure!
