Beautiful historical hotel with a classic western theme. Room was very clean and the bed was so cozy and fluffy it was tempting to sleep in late. Bar staff was very friendly and made excellent cocktails.

Nice room, bed not very firm. Staff at valet and restaurant very nice. They need to have the rooftop bar open during the day, as there are no other area to hangout. There are no patios or pools.

Nice stop to break up a road trip not a lot to do, but if you upgraded to a nice suite, it is very comfortable. Great place to rest up prior to hit the road again.
