"Delightful Historically Significant Experience."
Overall Score4.0/ 5
Idiosyncratic public spaces give genuine feeling of old southwest and, of course, the Hollywood stars who passed through. Excellent, friendly service. A special experience. Rooms adequate (ours was #117). Usual problem with historic hotels for insufficient plugs. However, the bathrooms desperately need renovation. Tiny, poorly laid out, iffy plumbing (for example: hot water in sink, but curiously, none in shower).

"Thanks Kevin! Your site was a huge success for me and I will definitely use it again. We ended up booking a total of 44 rooms, with different checking-in check-out days, times, people, etc., and Steve has been awesome to work with. Also, Steve is making special arrangements for an "after hours" tradition.I need to make group reservations at least twice a year and I now have a website that makes that a whole lot easier!"
