The hotel itself is beautiful and the history behind it is amazing and a must see. Front desk staff was fantastic. The issue we had was the restaurant and the “ historian.”
We had dinner in which I asked for red on my enchiladas, it came out with green instead. Told waitress and she brought it out with red ontop with Parmesan cheese ontop. Cut into it and all they did was pour red ontop of the green. Never seen that.
Also, they shotlet patrons know it’s only a two drink maximum when they get there.
Only was allowed two drinks. Since we were traveling we want to relax for the night.
After dinner we came down to sit by the fire. But were greeted very rudely by an elderly man and the first thing out of his mouth was “there’s not any alcohol in those glasses?” Not even a “hi, my name is….” The bartender mentioned we could take our last drink with us to our room so we did and decided to sit by fire. NOT!!!
So, the rest of the night we felt like we were in jail since we had to stay in our room to finish our drinks. By this time we were so frustrated with everything, we hung out in our room. We came out to look around at the hotel but once again the historian watched our every move. Ridiculous!!
Very sad because the place is stunning and the history behind it is very interesting.
We are from Albuquerque and know all about Gallup and the news it provides.
Still worth a stop, but don’t expect too much from service in the food part.
