Real Reviews from Real Guests on TripAdvisor
“Pulled up for dinner and was immediately struck by the iconic sign! Took a few photos and made my way into the hotel for dinner. Wait staff was extremely friendly and helpful, and I had a solid little dinner of enchiladas and Christmas chile.”

“Wanted to stay at vintage Route 66 places. We stayed in the Ronald Reagan Presidential Suite. What a treat! The bathroom was amazing! The rest of the suite was comfortable and very roomy. Staff was very helpful. Loved the memorabilia and photos on second floor.”

“The lobby is incredible and many photos of movie stars who stayed here. One of the gems on our Route 66 road trip so you have to stop here at least to visit the lobby and look around the hotel. There is a restaurant, Indian store, and of course the hotel.”
