The hotel was amazing filled with lots of history about Las Vegas, NM. Close to restaurants. The only thing that was disappointing was that the hotel restaurant was closed which had very good reviews.

After leaving another hotel that night due to unclean room this was a great experience. You can feel the history talking to you and the cleanliness made it all the more comfortable. We will be staying here again.

Very nice classical old hotel with incredible ambience and a very helpful staff. Apparently they are having trouble staffing the bar and restaurant so we went to other establishments in the nearby area but the rooms and staff were otherwise really nice. Very walkable to many restaurants, coffee, places, and bars as well. Highly recommend.

I like this old hotel that’s loaded with history… fun to see the framed info posted outside various rooms of the celebrities who have stayed there. The hotel houses an interesting collection of antique and vintage furniture and furnishings. Rates are reasonable,
the location is perfect.

Mildly rustic, but if you’re like me, that’s a plus. Very charming and cinematic hotel, with large, comfy rooms, for a very reasonable price. I was in the Robert “Sheriff Longmire” Taylor room (big fan of the show). I only wish I could have stayed in the “Cohen Brothers” room across the hall!

THis is an amazing place to stay. This history envelops you and the staff are so very kind. We cannot wait to go back! Just don't eat there. Find something else. The menu is not the same as the paper one they show you to order from. The chef just makes up their own dish and serves it to you without asking if it is okay.

Our stay was very nice. We stopped and spoke with the staff and they were all very friendly. Went out of their way to help us with our needs. The rooms were so big and the bathrooms were spacious. Lots of history in the hotel and we loved it. Beautiful place to stay!

Great historical hotel stay. Be aware if staying on a Sunday that the bar is closed, as well as many shops/restaurants on the plaza. You can walk to the Buffalo Hall, about .5 miles away, for good drinks and eats and history. So much history in the area. Only issue is that the pillows need upgrading.

The building was very clean, and I loved the historical vibe of it. The only issue I had was an extremely squeaky floor, near the bathroom. I felt bad for the people below us. Other than that, the staff was very helpful and accommodating. We had an issue with our AC not wanting to go down at a decent rate, and they switched us quickly to a better room.

The historic hotel was very well maintained and charming. The on-site restaurant was good and convenient, the staff very pleasant. It was located across the street from a park that made for a very relaxing evening stroll.
