This historic hotel in Wellsbro. It had a major hotel in the 1920’s and is ready for another one. It has a great history. The staff were excellent you just have to remember that it is a very old hotel right in the middle of town. Very clean.

Never been to Wellsboro but found it to be a wonderful town - and this hotel is right in the middle of it. If you like Old School this is it; the hotel has a history. Rooms are small - and well-maintained - but old. It was built when people were shorter (we aren't tall - 5-8 and 5-2) but had to reach down for the sink. At first glance, the shower looked like it might not be all that great but pressure was excellent; one of the better hotel showers we've had and we travel quite a bit. Speaking of which, the front desk clerk - Dave - may be the friendliest most well-informed desk clerk ever. Gave us great information on the area and restaurant recommendations. It was only a one-night stay to see the Grand Canyon of PA but we plan to return!

We were a little worried at first, the place is smaller than it looks it pictures. The hallways are a bit narrow however when we got to our room it was roomy and neat. We soon fell in love with the charm of the hotel, the nostalgia. Our bathroom had a tile with a slot to discard used razor blades. All the doors and moldings are original and kept well. The staff was pleasant and attentive when needed. If you want a more modern feel 200 ft down the block is the Penn-wells Lodge which amenities can be used if desired from either place. The Mary Wells Restaurant was the best we found in town, it was fine dining which was impossible to find anywhere within 25 miles of town. It was fine dining also without the price tag, our meals were reasonable. The hotel also has music softly playing from a bygone era which adds to the feeling of going back in time.

Charming throwback with no downside even in a historic monument. Friendly staff, cozy room, full breakfast at the companion lodge. Perfect rest before a long bike ride through the nearby Pine Creek gorge.
