La Posada Hotel and Gardens

Beautiful older hotel, bed comfortable, located in a historic area and right next to the old train depot which houses the Affeldt Mion museum with the very large Hubbell Joe Navajo Rug. But beware of a few things. Railroad tracks are right behind the hotel and there were multiple trains throughout the evening and night. There are no elevators so if your room is on the second floor you have to be able to manage the stairs. The Turquoise Room restaurant has excellent food but is rather expensive. It's a good place to experience at least one time.

What a wonderful place to stay! The employees we interacted with were all friendly, competent and knew the history behind the hotel. The room was beautiful, clean and every thing worked. The restaurant, Turquoise Room, was five star all the way. The museum and art displayed in the building are worth a trip to Winslow. The famous ‘standing on a corner’ location is just a short (two blocks) walk away. Painted Desert and Petrified Forest NPs are only about an hour drive away. Every corner of the hotel has something that you’ll want to take a picture of.

This is such a beautiful hotel, on the inside and out. I had a Standard King room, I think it was Rm 200 and it was located at the end of the hall. My room did overlook the train tracks, but I got used to the whistles quickly. Otherwise, my room was quiet and very clean and welcoming. I like that the room had a ceiling fan so the AC wasn't blasting all night. I felt safe as a solo traveler and spent my time just walking through the hotel and the grounds to read about the history of this gem. If you're going to Winslow to "stand on the corner," this hotel is 2 blocks walking distance to the west to see that spot. I hope to stay here again on a Route 66 road trip in the future. It's worth it because of the history.

A trip back in time to this restored and modernized Harvey hotel. Built in 1930 and restored in 2019 this is a lovely hotel with an excellent restaurant. Prices are moderate. The hotel is located a block away from the famous "standing on a corner in Winslow Arizona" statue. Worth a photo stop. Reservation are advised.

This boutique hotel is beautifully presented with charm and history oozing from its pores. Our room was fabulous: clean, authentic, special. I fell in love with the railway we backed onto, again, the stuff of history books. La Posada loses a star only because of the lack of amenities in the rooms. I would have liked a fridge and the ability to make a cuppa (I know coffee is provided foc in the lobby in the morning, but who wants to tiptoe out in their PJs? Not me!). The affiliated restaurant - The Turquoise Room - served lovely food but the service is very slow, both waiting to be seated and at the table. They charged me $5 for milk to pour on my morning cereal. Ouch!

Amazing vintage hotel!! Beautiful grounds and nice rooms. Bed was super comfortable. Staff was friendly. So much history to see within the hotel itself. Food was delicious at the Torquoise Room! Hotel originally built for the railroad. So, they have an area to sit and watch the trains go by. Very cool!

We stayed here on 7/31/24 in room 110, (the Barry Goldwater room). The room is located midway toward the front on the right side/wing (facing the building). It has a large outdoor patio area and is far enough away from the tracks you don't notice the trains very much. The room is decorated in an eclectic vintage style, it is good sized, has a closet, upper wall A/C unit, ceiling fan , desk, chair, end tables, TV and a comfortable bed (the pillows are small). There is no fridge, microwave or coffee maker. The internet worked well. There is a good sized bathroom with a Jacuzzi tub and shower. There is no counter space near the sink. The water pressure was decent. The hotel has lovely grounds and an interesting art work spread through out the hotel. We spent an hour plus exploring the hotel and grounds (excluding the museum on the 3rd floor). There was free coffee in the lobby in the morning. Check in and out is through the gift shop area. The hotel takes Visa, MC, Discover and Amex. The Turquoise Room restaurant is located off the main lobby and available for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We ate there and found dinner was fine dining without a dress code. The historic hotel has been nicely restored and was a fun place to stay for the night. Parking is in front of the hotel and there is no good place to load or unload. We parked, got a luggage cart and then made the trek to the room. There are EV charging stations. If you like quirky, vintage or railroad hotels La Posada should be on your list to stay at. It's about a 40 mi. drive to Pet. Forest NP and 3o mi. drive to Flagstaff.

Made Winslow a stopover on long trip, and picked this from the recommendations on Trip Advisor, and it was well worth the stay. One of a kind. Classic Route 66 hotel that is must see. Great rooms at reasonable rates. Sprawling grounds and much to see inside and out. The Turquoise Room and store take it to the next level.

This revitalized Inn is absolutely fantastic. There are a few drawbacks that visitors need to be prepared for, however I'll start with the positives, of which there are many. First of all, the history of this place (A Harvey House along Route 66 and the Santa Fe Railroad) is just awesome and is celebrated with plenty of historical information for guests to consume. The hotel has a museum dedicated to its history, which is a must for all visitors and is right on property. Of course, the Inn used to be a Train Station, so it is positioned right along-side the train tracks, and they are busy! While staying there, sit outside in the back along the long portico and watch trains go by transporting lots of goods as well as an occasional Amtrak passenger train, which stops at La Posada as it's Winslow, AZ stop. The gift shop is outstanding and fun to shop and the Dining Room, called the Turquoise Room, serves flavorful, beautifully presented Southwestern cuisine. Even the grounds around the Inn are fun to explore and the garden areas are very pretty, dotted with many secluded areas to relax and read or visit with family or friends. Each room is different, decorated with regional decor and the beds are reasonably comfortable. Outside each room is a biography of a famous person who has stayed at La Posada and in the Tower wing, there is a wall of photographs of other very famous guests. A couple of things visitors or potential guests need to be aware of before booking. The first is that if you are assigned a "track side room," you will hear the trains all night long. The second thing to be aware of is that there are no elevators, so if your room is on the second floor room, you'll be hauling up a significant number of stairs. There is no bell service, so guests must be able to serve themselves. Another challenge is that not all rooms have "walk in" showers. Ours had a big jacuzzi tub and getting in and out to shower requires agility. And finally, none of the rooms have telephones. If you want or need something for your room, you'll either need to go down to the front desk or use a cell phone. La Posada does not have a pool. It is for these reasons, I did not assign a five star rating, but we definitely got a good workout during our stay as our room was on the second floor. La Posada is a great place to stay if you are visiting The Painted Desert and/or the Petrified Forrest, and is so much more interesting than a stop over in Flagstaff if you are traveling along 1-40. We recommend two nights just to take it all in.
