We absolutely had a wonderful time at this hotel. We stayed there at the start of our trip. We liked it so much, we came back and stayed at the end of our trip. Great location. Walking distance from everything. Super cute historical hotel.

Right in the heart of town. Nice breakfast. However the parking lot isn’t large enough if both hotel and motel are full. Still street parking is an option most days. We had a hard time and had to park several blocks away because it was a Friday night

Not rustic charm, truth is maintenance just not performed. Windows broken (won't start open and won't completely shut). Bathroom sink water faucet and shower run (won't shut off) and diversion valve for shower broken so more water flows to tub than shower head. Tub and sink old and stained, carpet worn, towels and sheets are well beyond their service life. "Upgraded City View" room is on the street with windows that don't seal making the noise defining - and there's no "view" because the windows are so dirty you don't need to use the drapes for privacy. Overall, a bargain $50 motel chain provides a similar experience. One positive point, staff very polite.

Love the gold rush feel of the hotel. Matches the town. The rooms are lovely with a quirk that makes the stay worth while. Bathroom was great (the door wouldn't close unless the toilet seat was up!!! - love old hotels) and shower was hot when I needed it. Didn't sample the breakfast but heard it was good. Easy check in/check out and staff was awesome.

Liked: Staff & service
The staff were very helpful and friendly. Property, which we were told was recently renovated, did not meet the same standards. we had a room with cracked tiles in the shower, holes in the wall where the towel racks had been removed and you had to lift the toilet seat to close the bathroom door. Room was clean and had everything we needed. Maybe my expectations were too much for a “historic” hotel in an old gold rush town.
