All the staff we interacted with were friendly! The suite was nice and spacious! The mini fridge kept our drinks and food cold. The bed was super comfy! Be careful stepping in/out of the shower, it's slippery! If management is reading this I'd recommend putting down some grip strips. The continental breakfast was filling! They had hot and cold offerings. The coffee was decent too! We'd definitely stay here again!

SWITCHED TO A DIFFERENT CHAIN AFTER A FEW BAD HAMPTON INNS…read more========================================================= The hotel was o.k., but the parking lot didn't seem that secure. There were signs that you park at your own risk. The hotel staff not very professional. One staff member parked their Dodge right at the entrance like it was their personal spot. One staff member was behind the counter in the her swimsuit doing something on the computer. She did have a towel partially wrapped around, but you have got to be kidding me. Some kind of Young Marine group was staying there, so regular guests had no room for breakfast. I asked a clerk for utencils and she had a major attitude. They don't have waffles. I think we'll stick with renovated Hampton Inns.

We have been traveling for more than a week and this was the most comfortable nights sleep we have had so far. The hotel staff were friendly and personable.

Soo...we went by the back of the building first and all I could think of was, "where the hell are…read morewe staying?" The entrance was better. A historical resort so filled with character, you will never see all of it. Cons: it's an old time hotel so buckle in. The elevator has a heavy steel door outside and a gated slider inside. The outside door is so heavy it slammed on my hand. Fortunately it didn't smash my wedding ring and nothing broke but it most certainly hurt. The rooms are named after old movie actors. Ours was the Jean Parker room. Her face was emblazoned on our shower curtain. The bathroom was so small you could (I'm not kidding) wash your hands while sitting on the toilet. Jean was staring at the toilet, judging all our "movements". No hairdryers (call the desk and they will bring you one) . Our room had a balcony with a broken chair and a two person seat. Pros: coffee in the room with real cups. Lovely, firm mattress and plenty of pillows. The hotel is super cute and there's an older gentleman who's like a greeter who's wonderful. The bar is great.

Unfortunately, the reality of the whole situation was a very different experience. It started off great. The doorman held the door for us as we walked in. The check-in lady was super friendly. Our room was connected to our kids' room, which was fantastic. The vibe was Route 66 kitch, and we even had a little payphone in our room, which was fun. The woman in the gift shop was helpful with cultural Kachina Dancer questions I had. Although, as I was walking through the store, I noticed a t-shirt that said "Gallup: The Indian Capital". I live near two reservations, and the terms used are either Native American or Native for slang. If the t-shirt had been in New York City, fine. But at least half, if not all, of the staff is Native American. That's a pretty big slap in the face to those employees. I even mentioned it to a Native working in another store, and he rolled his eyes and said, "It happens all the time, man." I know it does, but that doesn't mean this hotel should be adding to it. It seems tacky. I woke early the next morning from suitcases clanging down the steps, people talking, and general hubbub. I get it's a motel, and I was on the ground floor by the parking lot, so I tried to ignore it and go back to sleep. What I COULDN'T ignore was cigarette smoke coming in my door and making me choke. I assumed someone was loading their car right in front of my door and having a smoke. Furious I opened the door and looked outside only to find a lady 6 rooms down from me quietly having a cigarette. I was honestly surprised at how smoky my room was vs how far away she was from my door. To be clear, I was not seeing clouds of smoke in my room; it just smelled like someone was smoking in there. The lady was very nice and put it out immediately when she learned I could smell it. I inspected the door frame when I closed it and noticed rather large gaps where light and air were coming through. (That means potentially fumes are coming in and AC/Heat is escaping.) I mentioned it to the cleaning lady and she said it must have gotten into the vent and then into our room. Not a great answer either. TL;DR Cute rooms, friendly staff, noisy in the morning, and random smells might enter your room.

Check in was easy though the rate was higher than other Choice hotels that we had been to earlier in the trip. The desk clerk was pleasant. We checked-in to room 207 and it smelled fresh and it was clean. A nice room is always welcomed after a long day on the road. The A/C quickly cooled down the room. The bathroom was clean and bright, an important touch in this situation. The bed was firm and comfortable and we had a great night sleep. The breakfast area was clean and well maintained and it was good to find a couple protein choices among the carbs. Though, I will add that the eggs looked a little dry and had been out for a while. Checkout was easy and again the AM clerk was very friendly. It was nice to be back on the road in the morning refreshed and with a full belly. Kudos to all the housekeepers and staff for a nice stay. Choice hotels is almost always a good stop. This location did not disappoint. Peace.

Caught in an unexpected snow storm, my spouse and I got a room here because it was too cold to camp and their sign said they had free wifi. Even with sleeping bags we couldn't bring ourselves to stay in that room. Our first room didn't have a working overhead light so they gave us another room. That room, #9 to be exact, was worse with the light on because we could actually see the room. It had a bucket for a trashcan, an extra room with nothing in it, and the reek of cleaning chemicals and musty filth. We decided it would be better to chance finding another room or even sleeping in the car than to stay there. We quickly got our things back packed and our money back. My advice is to run away- we did.
