Only if you are a history buff.

Only stay if you want to be there for the fact that it’s really old and interesting. It is not a nice hotel it’s an ornate hotel.

Historic Hotel with ghost's

We've been coming to this property for over 25 years we love coming here every 2 to 3 times a year it's one of our main properties we stay at on our way to Wine Country if you're really into history and a unique experience I would highly recommend this hotel just be aware that it is older and it's not very modern but if you really appreciate history and antique Style decor and don't mind the rumors of having it being haunted you will love this place
