The Hotel was built by J. Wyman Hogg, John McNeil and Ralph Mack of the Continental Hotel Co. of Springfield, Missouri. The finishing cost of the hotel reached up toward the $150,000 mark with furniture alone over $20,000 - a tremendous amount in 1929.

According to an article dated September 24, 1929, and published in the 1986 Sesquicentennial edition of the Harrison Daily Times, "On the first floor is a spacious lobby, it's ceiling reaching in the center to the third floor, circled on the second floor with the balconies of the mezzanine lounge. Here are found the wonderful arches and pillars so characteristic of the architecture of Old Spain, with decorations of parallel lines of opposing colors, of the interweaving of Arabic inscriptions, on wall decorations in gold and rich tints."
