The hotel opened on March 1, 1907, built of steel and concrete in the Mission Style of Spanish architecture. It covered a space of 420 feet by 200 feet and cost approximately $115,000. On the ground floor were a lunch room fitted with a circular counter, a large curio shop, a newsstand and reading room, and a barber shop. A crystal chandelier-lighted dining room stood somewhat centered within the hotel, and beautiful gardens lay on its east side. At a time when Ash Fork was an important railroad junction, passengers and freight bound for central and southern Arizona boarded trains there. The hotel was demolished in the 1970s, and efforts to prevent its loss failed but were not forgotten.
