Didn’t have any problems, hotel staff were very nice. Very good price for two nights. A little outdated, but that is understandable as the building is a historical original building.

We were excited to stay at the Gunn House, but sadly, the reality of our stay fell far from our expectations. Firstly, as my husband is mobility challenged, I asked for a ground floor room ... which we were given, but they failed to tell us that the car park is down quite a few steps, that the pool and breakfast salon are on the 1st floor up very steep and rickety stairs. So, to begin with, for anyone who has issues with stairs, I would not recommend it. Our room... where do we start.... the door was very stiff to open, and had no security from the inside at all... it had obviously swollen or twisted as each time we opened or closed it, it was a fight to do so. Although the window had curtains and blinds, the door just had nets that didn't black out any light, and the nets fell off at the slightest touch. The edge of the window where the glass meets the wood was covered in a thick film of dirt, and it was old dirt... not just a bit of dust from the previous guest. The room smelt musty to begin with until we eventually managed to turn the air-conditioning on...to achieve this, you had to stand on a stool... as the unit is so high, you cannot reach the controls. The A/c unit also extremely dusty and filthy, and it looks like the filter has never been cleaned. The floor of the room isn't flat at all, and the furniture, although picked to look antique, was falling apart, trimmings coming off the upholstery, the marble top coming away from the dresser. We had 2 queen which

Walls are dirty, bed spread was stained, huge bugs in the shower, WiFi was inadequate, not enough shower pressure to take a shower, no hot water in the shower. I was literally shocked at the condition of the room. If it wasn’t for the fact that we had a long hard drive to get there, I would have gone elsewhere but it was only one night so we roughed it. If I was the owner I would be embarrassed to have people stay in that room.

The Gunn Hotel was such a joy to stay at. It is a historic building in a California gold mining town, and it embraces that fact. My wife & I werent the only ones taking pictures around the hotel & its grounds. The staff was friendly and I really appreciated their dining recommendations

Older historical hotel from 1850’s. Old antiques and decor all over the rooms and hotel. If you enjoy taking a step back in time, you’ll love the place. If you want modern amenities, this is not for you. They offer a nice free breakfast in the old Parlor room. We stayed here on a Monday for only $65 so it was very affordable for a quick trip to Yosemite only 1.5 hours away. It’s right in the middle of town. We really enjoyed our stay.

I was charged before I even arrived at the property, and if I had been allowed to arrive in person, I would have cancelled my reservation and stayed elsewhere. The condition of the bedding, the pillow cases and sheet was ripped, had black marks all over and looked like it hadn’t been washed ever. There was one working outlet, the toilet paper left in the bathroom was close to being empty with only one roll extra. When I arrived, later in the night to check in, the door was wide open but nobody was at the desk. I had to call the employee to come man the desk so could check in. This was one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve ever had. I did not feel safe, clean or relaxed during my stay.

A total mess

They were doing repairs in rooms and materials were everywhere including many strips of wood with nails. Dirty carpet padding was thrown all around their propane tank outside. There was a plastic bag floating in their gross dirty pool. They should not have been open during this.

Property is going through renewal which is alright but not being transparent to customers is not good customer experience. We got to know about it after we reached at the property. Sadly owners are charging with full price (We paid 120$ for king suite) even if room we received doesn't even worth 60$. We could have easily found better rooms in other hotels if we had known before hand on room condition in this hotel. Notable points: 1. Room wall had molds in multiple places 2. Room had single light and no night light 3. Hot water tap in Hand wash basin wasn't working 4. We can not lock the front door of the room :o 5. Poor quality bed.
