Very neat wall paintings in an otherwise mediocre hotel
Pros:

It is basically an old hotel with some neat murals in the rooms and lobby. They shortchanged the extras, no glasses or phones in the rooms. Breakfast was non-existent, restaurant was closed and a couple of convenience store muffins by the coffee pot don’t count.

Cons:

Great hotel but awful on-site restaurant experience
Pros:

Cool artsy place with nice decor and artist painted rooms. Clean with comfy beds.

Cons:

Had a quite odd and awful experience with on- site restaurant run by 3rd party. Would not accept a 100 dollar bill to pay for our $70 check.
Really idiotic and manager was truly a moron
Per staff, others with same experience re $100 bills.
Won't go back due to that.

Stay away
Pros:

Not much

Cons:

Creepy spot. Felt evil spirits. The theme of the hotel is native/indigenous art, in the photos it looks upbeat and beautiful. However, I was hit with a ominous presence the moment I went in the room. The walls were painted black, the murals were painted in a monochrome white with a form of a head-down fetus with a contorted facial expression on one wall and a headless and scrawny topless woman in blue jeans holding corn cobs in both hands. Third wall showed a dead sunflower bent over and shrouded. The room was tiny and felt stifling. I asked for a new room and explained the situation; the front desk staff declined to help. I covered the art with extra sheets the best I could. The TV had multiple static lines throughout picture. It felt like we were sleeping in a horror movie.

The pool area was way over packed per the posted capacity signs (double the posted numbers) and the water was cloudy and the area was filthy. Used bandaids on the wet concrete. A security guard wandered around and did nothing to address the rowdy patrons. My daughter was very disappointed when I cut our pool time due to the situation.

Coffee was rough in the morning. Muffins are gas station quality.

I strongly recommend against staying at this hotel. Sleeping in your car would be uncomfortable but preferable.
