Quaint and beautiful historic hotel! Right in downtown Placerville. We loved strolling from the hotel to all the cute shops and antique stores along the row. Hotel itself was clean, well managed with friendly staff. Shower was hot with great pressure! We loved the antique look of the rooms. Bonus: if you like ghosts and spooky stories, this hotel is great! We loved watching the Portals to Hell episode about the hotel… in the hotel! Overall, fantastic experience. We would stay here again if we found ourselves in the area.

This is a 170 year old hotel with an elevator from the 1920's and it does show its age but it's conveniently located right on the main street going through the tourist destination of Placerville. Acceptable cleanliness and staff was very friendly and helpful. The decor and carpeting and fixtures showed a significant amount of wear. If you're looking for the fun and the ambiance of the town it's good - if you're looking for a hotel comparable to Marriott or Hyatt it's not in that category.

This hotel is a must stay it has so much history and the elevator is so awesome it’s a piece of history! The staff is amazing and so friendly and knowledgeable about the history of the hotel ! The only negative is there is no air conditioning but they will give you a powerful fan for your room and the windows open to let fresh air in ! If you are traveling thru the area please stay here !

Parking is a little restricted, they have a back lot that you can stay in for free, but it’s a city lot with businesses so it can fill up during the day and then you have to go farther away to get parking. The hotel itself is great! clean room, a little worn but it’s really old in a very cool way. Lobby is fantastic. Help was really good, No complaints.
