History of Halona Plaza

Halona Plaza comprises a restaurant, a convenience store, and a Bed & Breakfast. The original property, the Barth store, opened in 1866. It was purchased by the Vander Wagen family in 1910 for 1000 sheep. Andrew & Effa Vander Wagen arrived in Gallup in 1896 as missionaries for the Christian Reformed Church of Grand Rapids, Michigan.

The store was expanded and run under the name A. Vander Wagen, Dealer in General Merchandise, Cattle, Horses and Sheep. Over the decades, the property passed from one generation of the Vander Wagen family to the next. It is currently owned by Richard and Elaine Thomas. Elaine is the daughter of Gertrude Vander Wagen. Their son, Loren, is the CEO.

This Inn reminds you of a Inn that you would read about in a book. The Inn keepers and staff bring you in and treat you like a member of the family. When it is time to depart you feel like you are saying goodbye to old friends. Service is top notch, food at the restaurant is wonderful and always plentiful (you gotta try the fried chicken!). Tremendous Experience overall! ~ Hank Johnson

The room was awesome, staff were so hospitable and generous, breakfast was generous, and just overall fantastic. Highly recommend. ~ Brittney G

Would definitely stay here again. Room was small but nice with interesting books and art. Breakfast was ordered the night before and very good-try the blue corn pancakes. Doesn’t look fancy at the front but once you get to the back it’s an oasis. Hospitality was great, very helpful and enjoyed the conversations very much. ~ Sandy Killough
