Very historic, unique property. Huge gift shop, good restaurant and bar. Staff were so friendly and helpful. Be aware the bathrooms on a standard room are very small. Pedestal sink, toilet and shower. Also no electrical outlet. However, that would not stop me from staying there again. I highly recommend this hotel!

This place was fantastic! A real bit of history, recently renovated rooms and quite a bit to see without even leaving the building! Identifying all the movie star photos was wonderful, as was the secret room with the vinyl record player! The bar and restaurant were also great and convenient… A true Route 66 experience!

Clean but small room with tiny bathroom. But it’s an historic hotel so one can’t be picky. Food in the restaurant was very good and reasonably priced. All of the staff were very nice. I would stay here again.

It wasn't just a hotel stay, it was a wonderful experience. It's a tribute to the movies, actresses and actors. The staff was great. The breakfast was good and you didn't leave hungry. I stayed in hotels 2000+ times this is the one I will always remember. Thank you.
