It is designed by Albuquerque-based architect Antoine Predock,[1] whose other work stands mainly in the American Southwest, to evoke the atmosphere of a motel in Santa Fe, New Mexico with its typical Pueblo Revival architecture.

Surrounding the buildings is a desert-like environment in which cacti and decorative neon have been placed to further emphasise the American Southwestern theme.

A drive-in theater screen is permanently displaying characters from the Cars franchise, and an intentionally derelict neon sign stands at the entrance.

It shares an area of Disneyland Paris with Disney Hotel Cheyenne, located on either side of a man-made river called the Rio Grande.

On 26 July 2022, Disney rebranded all their onsite hotels by dropping the possessive apostrophe.
