Only if......
The location of this hotel on the strip cannot be discounted, however the rooms are in need of renovation. The bed was uncomfortable and the four foot fluorescent light over the headboard of the bed was so bright and jarring. Only stay here if you want the location.

It’s a No from me!
The staff were very nice. The breakfast provided was good. They had a good selection. The beds were hard as a rock. I expected rustic, but this was beyond. The carpet did not appear to have ever been changed from the opening of the hotel. It definitely was not vacuumed prior to us getting there as there were candy wrappers and loose change in the floor. The floors were not level. The furniture leaned because of the unlevel floors. The bathroom was the only part of the room that appears to have been updated at all. There were very limited electrical outlets.
Only 2 I found in the main room and the one by the bed was behind the bed and not easily accessible. The rooms around the reception desk were rustic but decorated nicely. The best part of the hotel was the location. Walk out the front door and onto the main strip of shops in downtown. I’m sorry to say I would not recommend this hotel as I definitely would not stay here again.

A historic gem
The hotel is a historic gem that will meet your needs. Check in was easy, fast and pleasant. The room is a little dated but you only sleep there. The breakfast was very good and the staff were amazing.

Nice old hotel but lacking in condition of rooms
Staff very friendly, lobby area very nice, excellent breakfast with plenty of space in dining area. Understand it is an old hotel, but the rooms very small and smell bad. No water pressure and bathroom is tiny. The room was not very clean and we had a blanket with stains on it and it was replaced. Lobby area and outside deceiving as to condition of rooms.

Nostalgic Hotel
Throw back to the 1970s which was ok. A little smell when you first enter room but it quickly went away. I think it was like a wood smell since there is paneling on the walls. A little dusty but overall a comfortable and clean stay. Would stay here again. Very convenient to all of the activities and stores. Didn’t need to move car until we left.

Girls Trip
It's been there since 1937..but we absolutely loved it! So laid back! There was music on the beautiful front entrance one night and cloggers the next. The bed are very comfy and the breakfast was amazing. Also, its centrally located so you can walk everywhere. We walked as far as the moonshine coaster..its better than sitting in traffic! When we parked on Friday we didn't get ba k in the car til we left on Sunday! I will never stay anywhere but here.
