10/10 Exceptional

Staff was phenomenal. Beds were soft and very comfortable. Heater worked well. Room was clean. Only downside because it is an older building the walls are fairly thin and you can hear louder cars and people out on the street.

8/10 Very good

Staff helpful, small room but clean . Nice continental breakfast. Only issue the room faces a busy street so a lot of road noise for us light sleepers

Historical Happy Hotel

We absolutely had a wonderful time at this hotel. We stayed there at the start of our trip. We liked it so much, we came back and stayed at the end of our trip. Great location. Walking distance from everything. Super cute historical hotel.
April, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Right in the heart of town. Nice breakfast. However the parking lot isn’t large enough if both hotel and motel are full. Still street parking is an option most days. We had a hard time and had to park several blocks away because it was a Friday night

4/10 Fair

People working there are the best. They are friendly and always provide excellent service. Hotel is old and smelly though. It needs a new carpet, or a good clean up.

Easy to get to fast check-in wonderful old building with lots of charm
john, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The staff were very helpful and friendly. Property, which we were told was recently renovated, did not meet the same standards. we had a room with cracked tiles in the shower, holes in the wall where the towel racks had been removed and you had to lift the toilet seat to close the bathroom door. Room was clean and had everything we needed. Maybe my expectations were too much for a “historic” hotel in an old gold rush town.
susan, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Love the gold rush feel of the hotel. Matches the town. The rooms are lovely with a quirk that makes the stay worth while. Bathroom was great (the door wouldn't close unless the toilet seat was up!!! - love old hotels) and shower was hot when I needed it. Didn't sample the breakfast but heard it was good. Easy check in/check out and staff was awesome.

warm and welcoming staff and atmosphere. Elevator worked 2 out of the 3 days we stayed there.
Vickie, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The property is close to many good places to eat and shop. The staff was nice and helpful. The property was in nice condition too. The only two issues we had were noise and lack of hot water for showers. The noise was due to our room running alongside the road across from a bar. Otherwise it was a nice place.
