This was the worst hotel we have ever stayed out. They charged an outrageous rate of $250 for a room that was filthy, old and disgusting. I would not even let my children take a shower. There were cob webs in the corners everywhere, nothing worked - remote, alarm clock, air conditioning. When I went to open the window to... more

Staff was great. Room was clean. Price was right. Bar was handy. more

The guests are greeted in a lobby out of the old West, dark and carved woods, with a hint of the modern tucked away almost our of site, a computer for residents to use.

The location is great,... more

I wanted to like this hotel, it was impossible. The rooms were not clean, not pleasant, TV looked like it was out of the 70's. The service was just awful. An example, please remember they were not even 1/2 full, as we were checking out, a gentleman from another country who had to wait for a prescription to be delivered,... more
