"A great base to discover the surrounding countryside ... breathtaking!"

Stumbled across this wonderful place by chance - decided to stay 2 night.  We enjoyed the wonderful surroundings, food and hospitality.  A great base to discover the wonders of the surrounding countryside - scenery breathtaking - history awesome!! Will recommend to all in the U.K. - have taken lots of photographs to show them.  Thanks again for a fantastic stay.

"...we had a fabulous time in the bar listening to the Honky Tonk pianist..."
Dawn,

We really enjoyed our stay with you!  Your hotel is gorgeous and so very interesting, what wonderful history.  The rooms are so comfortable and elegant.  Dinner in The Virginian Restaurant was delicious and we had a fabulous time in the bar listening to the Honky Tonk pianist and soaking up the atmosphere.  Ben gave us a great tour, explaining the history of the town and hotel. Also the bartender, Krent, was so nice to our son.  He showed him the bullet holes in the wall and told about Butch Cassidy.  We also loved seeing the unfinished wing where Whister wrote The Virginian and Butch Cassidy and Sundance stayed.  Thank you again for everything.  Your staff is so nice.  The entire experience was wonderful.  We'll definately be back and we'll be recommending you to our friends!

"In Buffalo we had a stay, enjoyed each moment all the way!"

In Buffalo we had a stay, enjoyed each moment all the way.

The food was great, the bar was fun - enjoyed the beer, each & every one.

Butch & Sundance were sure to say, enjoyed each and every day!

"... what a unique & wonderful way, Dawn, you & your husband are preserving The History."

 

Coming up & staying & playing in The Occidental Hotel this past week was a highlight of Lorrina & I's summer.

Playing Honky Tonk music is a pastime that I've done for 50 years.  We hope this is the beginning of a long, lasting relationship.

So many of the old songs & melodies are being forgotten, what a unique & wonderful way, Dawn, you & your husband are preserving The History.  I hope we've donated in some small way to the feeling and nostalgia of this fine old hotel.

"We especially loved the excellent meal at The Virginian!"

This was a great place to stay.  Thank you for your hospitality and for letting Barry play your grand piano.  We expecially loved the excellent meal at The Virginian, and the accommodations in the Herbert Hoover room were comfortable.  Thanks Again!

"I'm sure his spirit is still in that room."

What a wonderful experience to stay in such a historical place.

Our room was a wonderful room, we had the Teddy Roosevelt.  I'm sure his spirit is still in that room.

Look forward to our next time.

We were so happy to have the opportunity to stay here.  Everything you see is interesting and set in a historic setting.  Such eye candy! The energy here is great.  The people of Buffalo are so nice.  We'll be back as we love it!

(The Herbert Hoover Room is stately and comfortable.)

"We felt as if we had stepped back in history!"

    Having traveled the country from coast to coast we have never come across a more delightful place as the Occidental Hotel.  We felt as if we had stepped back in history.  This is a must see for everyone!  Thanks Dawn - you're a wonderful woman for saving this piece of the past.

"I woke up and found I didn't want to leave."

Oct 7th - We spent the night and had the best time ever.  All the rooms are done to perfection with just the right decor to make you feel right at home.  I woke up and found I didn't want to leave.  The food was excellent and we will always come back to the Occidental when we are in town.  Carry on with the rest of the renovations they will only make the place complete. Thanks again,

John & Darlene - Custer, SD

"... this is truly one of the best depictions of our history."

This hotel should remain exactly as is.  It is America's history.  Very important to who we were, keeping it is very important as to who we will be.  What a great experience.  As a traveler around the country, this is truly one of the best depictions of our history.

"The Occidental Hotel is a National Treasure..."

The Occidental Hotel is a National Treasure and Dawn and John are to be commended for their efforts and their personal investment to salvage this important piece of American history.

We stumbled upon this treasure and will share the marvelous experience with as many friends, family and business associates as possible.

"It is very special to see 125 years of history preserved in this building."

The Occidental Hotel is just a treasure and a wonderful place to stay and visit at the same time.

It is very special to see 125 years of history preserved in this building, and Wyoming being a young country this is the entire history, captured in this place, hopefully for many generations to come.

I would like to see this place continuing like this, a combination of a museum and a living place were open minded people meet and enjoy.

We all cannot be grateful enough to Dawn Wexo and the people working with her to make this happen.

Please support her!

We of course had an AMAZIN  time.  We love your intentions and want to "sponsor" a few things, sooo we will be in touch with you about this.

Muchas Gracies,

The preservation & restoration of the Occidental Hotel is a fantastic project.  It would be tagic to lose this historic place.  It is so authentic you can almost feel the presence of the characters who stayed here long ago.

Harry Ptasynski - Casper

 
Tongue River Middle School - 8th grade. The people in this hotel helped history to come alive for 33 people today.  They better understood not only how history changes their lives but also how the history of this area and hotel continue to affect people even in the future.  One of the best tours we had.

Margo James - Tongue River Title Reading Teacher

 
The Crazy Eight Gang pulled into town just before the hail hit.  It was sunshine all day - then August got cold.  We came dusty and damp with 160 miles under our belts, the views were spectacular.  The bikes have been true and roads continous to dream.  We couldn't stay long - one sleep is all we need - as we continue east into sturgis. What a trip.

From the group of six riders, Chicago, IL.  We started our trip today in Jackson, WY and made it through the Big Horn Mountains just as it started to snow.  What made it interesting was we were on motorcycles.  THis has been the finale to a week long bike trip staying with you in this beautiful place.  The restoration is unbelievable.  Great job.  We really enjoyed your place.
