Wonderful piece of history
Super good which was by accident as we had no specific plans to stay in any one place as we were travelling. Just happened to stop and book and we were like wow, what a beautiful place. We just loved the ambience, such history and beautiful. We walked all around the hotel taking pictures. When comparing other hotels we stayed in for around the same price the Plains beats every one hands down. Plus the breakfast is very nice. Best sleep my wife had all trip. Highly recommend you give it a stay. Such history, furniture and artifacts to reflect the culture of the time.

The hotel in general was fine. The bathroom in the room was disgusting! Pubic hairs in the shower. The bottom three inches of the shower curtain was stained with mildew and the smell was horrible. The bed was extremely uncomfortable. I have never written a negative review but I was so upset with the cleanliness that I felt like others should be aware.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Liked that it was historic and had character. Good location, too. Room could have been cleaner. Fingerprints all over microwave and tv. 3 hairs (2 long and one looked like a body hair) on pillow when I flipped it over. Was it changed or simply reused?? Sheet had stain, and dirty spot on comforter cover. Lots of dust in room. Checked out and into another hotel next night though if it had been cleaner would have loved to extend stay. Could use updating, but cleanliness is more critical.

Historic hotel with many features reflecting this. Restaurant & bar on premises, walking distance to many other restaurants, bars & museums. Downside is no adjacent parking; park on street or remote lots 2 blocks away or more. Some rooms are a little dated. Mine had a slow draining sink, which they addressed.

Old historic hotel....like Cheyenne. Not what I would deem particularly comfortable. Only thing going for it was price. Next time I’ll stay up on I-80. Actually next time, we’ll just forego Cheyenne all together.
