This was such a great place to stay for our visit to the PA Grand Canyon. The hotel was very cool, the staff super friendly, nice breakfast included in the am. Wonderful dinner in the tavern inside. Parking right out back and everything in town you could walk to. I would return here in a heartbeat next time I come to Wellsboro!

This is a charming slice of history that is run by dedicated staff wo want your stay to be spoecial and comfortable. If you are used to spanking new hotels you will find some of the features quaint (instructions on how to operate a radiator valve on checking in) but the beds are comfortable and clean and the showers are great and hold a steady temperature. The various dining options should suit your mood - and if not, there are plenty of other options right outside the door.

Parking was easy here, no problem. The rooms were nice and clean, beds comfortable. Staff was helpful when we had questions. We like staying in old, historic hotels because they are so much more interesting than the cookie- cutter newer ones.

This is a fantastic historical hotel. The charm of the old building, decor, and aesthetics was delightful. Everything was easy and there are some great staff members. Check in was AMAZING !!!!!! Dave was the nicest, professional, caring individual. It is rare to see genuine, natural, excellent customer service with an owners mindset.

Excellent friendly service but the property is very old. While very charming and very authentic as keys are still used, it is very dated. I felt very safe but it also had that “ shining here’s Johnny” vibe. The bed in room 231 is very comfortable I was very pleased with my stay

If you don't like cookie cutter mega chain hotels, this is a beautiful place to stay. Comfortable room. Historical hotel in a great area. Real room keys. Not a magnetic card. Nice lounge. Good breakfast buffet. The worst thing I could say is there are some cracks in the bathroom tiles. Doesn't affect the overall feeling of the place. Adds character.

In a beautiful town, and the building is historic and well kept. Very nice restaurant with indoor and outdoor dining. My only complaint was that there was no closet or even a clothes hook in my room. I had to hang clothes on the doorknob. The other thing, less of a concern, is the sink was an old-fashioned type with separate hot and cold faucets. Not that big a deal. Oops, one other thing. Don't touch the steam radiator valves until they turn on the boiler. I opened mine before that, and it was way too much and overheated the room. Staff was great. Very helpful person at the desk, who gave me a pitcher with water and ice and a glass when the vending machine upstairs was out. More than that, he was friendly and helpful throughout my visit, even recommending some good sites to see on a walk.
