1925 hotel with a wonderful charm and history. The rooms are clean with new beds paint and new bathrooms. The hotel is in restoration mode but closely done. Can't wait to come here again and see again. Kim was our hotel host. Amazing.

The room itself was extremely clean and the hotel was charming. Breakfast was very simple - coffee, granola and milk, fruit, toast and jam - but it was $8 so about right. I wish there were more amenities available. There was no ice, no refrigerator or microwave in room, no hair dryer available at desk or in room. They're obviously recently renovated and working their way up. So for the price point you get a nice place to stay, but don't expect a 3 star hotel.

What a gem! Very well restored, respecting the original character, peaceful and warm. Enjoy the comfortable seating of the welcoming common area or just sink into the high quality bedding and enjoy the views of the snow tipped Sierras. Ask about the unique suite with the soaking tub! Cody is helpful and knowledgable about this small town, it's history and attractions. Highly recommend!

This is a historical hotel and it is VERY cool, the rooms are great, amazing AC, very nicely repainted in such nice colors, the whole place is just really neat, there are no TVs in the rooms which I liked, it was like a time machine, sit down and read something instead of the TV, such a refreshing change, they did have wifi which was nice, the lobby was very nice and I highly recommend this lovely historical hotel.

We stayed here for 1 night. Felt secure enough with our 8 year old. We did see a massive cockroach in the bathroom. No TV, no problem we had phones and tablets. Great shower pressure. Lotion, shampoo, body wash, and conditioner good quality. The door code method they have makes it super easy to check in and come and go as you please. Bed was comfy. Pillows too thick.

The owners are renovating it to hopefully return it to its former glory. It is a work in progress. Certain expected amenities in the room were not there m, yet. This includes a room television and places like drawers and closets for your clothes.
