Really enjoyed our stay at this historic hotel. The history behind it is very fascinating and the decorations went along with that. The front staff Carrie was so super friendly if we are ever in Placerville, we would stay here again.

I enjoyed my two night stay here, but the place is a little bit funky. The bathroom was clean and modern, but the rooms are kind of dated and getting luggage throughthe elevator is a wrestling match despite it charm of being so old. The building was built in 1857 and it’s an interesting place to stay. I would probably go back because the staff was great And it’s got a good location for what I do when I’m in town.

Cute Victorian lobby

Very pretty Victorian hotel. Very convenient to walk and stay in town. The lobby is lovely. The room wasn’t keeping with the theme. The beds were fairly comfortable. There was no microwave. There was a small stove but non pots or any kitchen accessories, so no way to warm or cook anything. The room was very clean, the receptionist was very. Ice and helpful.

This was a great unexpected stay with inclement weather after a long day dictating I not drive through the pass. It’s right downtown. Unfortunately most places were closed that day or closed early so by the time I was settled it was tough to find food. Not the hotels fault. All in all a great place to rest up. I’d stay again.

Very kitschy but safe. Only one guy on duty at night and he was not exactly welcoming or courteous. Rooms had very usable kitchen. Bathroom was bigger than expected. Bed was very old. All furniture very old and cheap. Things are in decent condition but they really are leaning on “historic” to not spend money updating basics. Everything just felt like it was last updated in the 70s or 80s. Old time elevator was a fun trip into the past 😀
