This is my second stay, and it is every bit as good as the first. The rooms are well appointed and very comfortable, the tavern is fantastic, and the staff are wonderful as well. An awesome place to stay, especially after a long day on the road

Very modest property. Ice cold air conditioning and comfortable bed. Otherwise, nothing special. No morning coffee or staff anywhere in sight upon checking out.

Disappointed on first sight that it was not an historic(meaning old) building. However the story of its renovation by Carpenter and Gutierrez is interesting and commendable. Restaurant menu sounds amazing but we were not hungry after sitting in the car all day.

Room was great. Check in a as okay but couldn't pay with a different card than I used to reserve the room. Added an additional $100 charge to yhat card and still wanted the other card on file for incidentals. But my biggest complaint was breakfast by 8 am there was nothing left but half a biscut dried out potatoes and overcooked eggs.

Awesome re do

We stayed here many years ago and it was a total dive. The remodel and upgrades they have done are top notch. It's well worth a retry if you haven't been in awhile.
