Great stay at the hotel over the holiday weekend. Right in the middle of town - walking distance to everything. Easy and free parking on site. Only "complaint" - water temp varies a lot in the shower! (but not enough to take away a star!)

This was such a great place to stay for our visit to the PA Grand Canyon. The hotel was very cool, the staff super friendly, nice breakfast included in the am. Wonderful dinner in the tavern inside. Parking right out back and everything in town you could walk to. I would return here in a heartbeat next time I come to Wellsboro!

The room lacked many of the amenities that I would expect, like a desk, microwave, mini coffee maker, AC, but the hotel is beautiful in its historic preservation.

Parking was easy here, no problem. The rooms were nice and clean, beds comfortable. Staff was helpful when we had questions. We like staying in old, historic hotels because they are so much more interesting than the cookie- cutter newer ones.

Excellent friendly service but the property is very old. While very charming and very authentic as keys are still used, it is very dated. I felt very safe but it also had that “ shining here’s Johnny” vibe. The bed in room 231 is very comfortable I was very pleased with my stay

The hotel is retro and quirky, which was charming. The staff overall were not friendly. There was no heat in the room. The plumbing was interesting, the toilet would “burp” when the room above us flushed and the sink drained slowly. Very limited hotel restaurant/bar hours, closing at 8PM.
