    Wonderful Stay!

    Very pet friendly and affordable. They have a small designated pet relief area. I was able to bring my dog with me to the restaurant and sit outside under the covered area.

    Shelby loves your hotel!

    From the comfy carpeting for sleeping to the split air conditioning units with a directed breeze to the lizards skittering across the garden trails and the nice waiters who brought her water, this was Shelby’s best hotel visit ever! She says she definitely will return this year. Thank you!

    Lovely hotel from earlier, gentler times

    This hotel is a southwest gem, built in the 1930s and impeccably maintained, it boasts adobe architecture, vintage Spanish tiles, fountains, and a lighted cactus garden. Plus they offer complimentary breakfast with 2 choices of real cooked food) at an on-site restaurant. Very peaceful, and they like dogs!

    Outstanding Hotel

    The grounds are wonderful, the room beautiful and so quiet. I will come back here. We are enjoying our little fireplace and snuggling with our dogs. After 5 days on the road this is perfect. The staff are great and grounds immaculate. Well behaved dogs can have breakfast with you on their terrace.
