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!

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.

Nice hotel

The hotel is located right on the main strip. Plenty of places to eat and shop. Sister hotel has a pool to use. The staff is very nice and room was clean.

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.

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

Very Historic Hotel

We like to check out old hotels and tbe Wellsboro was a nice one. Previously stayed in the sister Wellsboro Lodge. Very unique, lots of history, artifacts and architecture. Free breakfast and parking in the center of town.

If you don't like cookie cutter mega chain hotels, this is a beautiful place to stay. Comfortable room. Historical hotel in a great area. Real room keys. Not a magnetic card. Nice lounge. Good breakfast buffet. The worst thing I could say is there are some cracks in the bathroom tiles. Doesn't affect the overall feeling of the place. Adds character.
