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.

Shabby - shabby - chic Historic Pennwells.
Pros: Lots of character. Very friendly staff - but everyone is friendly in Wellsboro. Good restaurant and tavern on site. They share the same menus. The interiors of each are unique and terrific. The hotel is in the center of town and walkable to everything.
Cons: old and shabby - but it's a bit cool at the same time.

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.

Beautiful old historic inn. The lobby area was lovely. Breakfast was included which was a nice extra. There’s a spacious outdoor courtyard where we could enjoy happy hour. The downtown is cute and walkable with some nice shops and restaurants. Less than a half hour drive to the Grand Canyon of PA.
