Right in the center of town.
It’s old build with small rooms but if you came to visit wellsboro then this old building is right up your alley!
Clean and nice staff
Located in downtown wellsboro within walking distance to shoppes and restaurants, this hotel is a throwback in a good way. The staff was attentive and pleasant. The lobby and rooms were clean and functional with modern amenities, but had the feel of another era, giving me a taste of what life might have been like in another time. Breakfast was good also, my kids loved the chocolate raspberry muffins.
Historic and in the middle of an amazing small town that offers more than bigger places. 1/8 of a mile out of town you are in some of the remote areas on the east coast.

It was a challenge for individual room air conditioning to keep up when it was 95. Would have been nice for the staff to turn on the ac before we arrived.
Lobby smelled of old fireplace smoke
This hotel shows its age with worn furnishings and grungy bathroom grout, but the bed was very comfortable and the room very quiet midweek. We walked the block + to the sister hotel, the Penn Wells Lodge, for the complimentary hot breakfast, which was tasty.
The staff of the hotel and the dining room were amazing. Always knowledgeable and helpful Fine old historic hotel with lots and lots of charm. The food in the dining room deserves five stars!
Very historic hotel. Very clean and employees are friendly. Wellsboro is a great place to visit with plenty of places to eat in walking distance. The surrounding area is beautiful.
