Guests have included Thornton Wilder and Eleanor Roosevelt.

A 2019 KGUN report counted 22 rooms in operation, so the hotel is far smaller than the original 160 rooms. Confirm the current room count when you call.

Dining happens on site. The 333 Cafe Restaurant and Bar serves lunch and dinner, and the hotel recommends reservations. The Saddle and Spur Tavern offers nightly drink specials. A small museum honors military prisoners of war. An outdoor terrace gives you a place to sit.

Room 333 carries a ghost story. Local reports say a female spirit plays with the lamp and the television. The hotel appeared on the television show Hotel Impossible in 2013. Treat the ghost stories as local lore.

The hotel keeps its original 1907 Otis elevator and uses real keys instead of card readers, according to the KGUN report. Older buildings come with quirks.
