We stay at this hotel every time we go through Gallup. It really does make our stay Excellent! The Hotel it’s like a gem from the past, and you can’t beat all of the pictures and stories on the walls from the wild West. Highly recommend!

Great place to stay
This was our second time staying here and it didn't disappoint. We will return. The rooms are clean. The staff is very inviting, kind and super nice. We have more family wanting to go with us next time we stay here. It's a relaxing place for all.

A classic!
Beautiful historic motel. Very spacious clean rooms. Newly renovated restaurant, a major upgrade. Very attentive and kind staff.

8/10 Very good

Historic and Fun
Nice place for the history behind it. The lobby is amazing and the restaurant/bar is really good. The room could use some maintenance and the housekeeping could use some training. The bathroom is tiny. The shower is OK.

A taste of the Southwest
This was an amazing place !! It had the restaurant right there which is nice after a long day of travel. Very well kept and clean.

Fun! Fun! Fun!
Amazing little gem!! We had so much fun. The rooms were so cool. It’s an experience everyone should do!

A Hollywood Western Classic
This hotel is so fun and unique. We like the classic 1950's retro hotels of the southwest and this is one of the best examples we've encountered. Clean and friendly but the room was small. That was the only negative.
Celene, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Beautiful entrance and decorated nicely
The main entrance is so beautiful and the check in was pleasant, there was a very nice fire in the fireplace too!! Our room was nice just small and the bathroom was tiny

Loved the Old Hollywood Ambiance!!!
We absolutely loved the ambiance of this hotel. It was like stepping back in time with the old school elevator and the Hollywood pics on the walls, the old school balcony and decor in the rooms and throughout the entire property. Would definitely come here again! The only thing we didn't enjoy was the small space, with the king bed only accessible from one side (up against the wall) and the industrial toilet in an already tiny bathroom (you could literally lean your head on the sink while sitting on the toilet) Q

Route 66 historic western hotel
A funky historic hotel with lots of character…and a warm fireplace in the great room. Beds were comfortable, we were in a smaller (king size) bedroom and both the room and bathroom were rather small. The restaurant next door was excellent for both dinner and breakfast. We will return.

Beautiful
This place is really nice, you just have to remember that it is an older building so it not so sound proof. But it’s beautiful. I would call it an amazing experience

Throwback to a different time
Very cute vintage/historic hotel with a ton of character!! The best was the vintage elevator that required manual opening of two metal doors! Rooms are small because it’s old but I loved the vibes!!
Kristy, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Fun place to stay but does need some attention.
Overall a very fun place to stay. Carpet in the lobby is a little tired and the stairs because they're old are a little treacherous. They offer an elevator that never opened. Finally, the air conditioning in the room never kicked on. In fact it went to heat so I roasted.
