The building is in excellent shape and maintained with an attention to detail by its passionate owners. The inside breaks down into different revenue streams with 15 guest rooms, a Restaurant/Steakhouse with 56 seats inside and another 52 on the sunlit patio, and the 186 seat Texas Gate Bar & Grill.
