    Historic hotel. Old but clean. Very intriguing. Love seating out on the deck off second floor to people watch. Lots of restaurants and shops around. Will go back.

    Old place with history - had to ride the elevator. It is not haunted;)

    Excellent location if you wanted to shop and eat without driving. Everything was literally in walking distance. We chose the location in the hope that we would be close to the casino. We were about a 10 min drive from the hotel to the casino.

    Great staff. Beautiful facility. Very historic. Very impressive lobby area. Room was comfortable. This hotel is over 160 years old; but in great shape. It is great to sleep in such a historic property.

    Cute hotel in downtown Placerville with surprisingly good food choices nearby and a fun historic vibe between the hotel and town.

    Great stay considering the Hotel has the label of being haunted. The hotel has been kept original (1857)and very clean. The Front desk went out of their way to check me in early and couldn't have been any more friendly. Highly reccomend!

    We were in room 305. It was the perfect size for me and my 2 daughters. Loved having the 2 bedrooms and the beds were super comfortable. It all felt so cozy and warm and I can't wait to come back!
