“This is a landmark with a captivating history and a prime spot in Cheyenne, moments from downtown action; I particularly appreciate its pet-friendly stance and complimentary breakfast, a refreshing touch. The building itself has a charming, almost museum-like quality, with classic decor and comfortable rooms; its character makes it a memorable experience. It's a solid choice for immersing yourself in local culture and history.”
