Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had a quaint charm and was newly renovated, offering clean and cozy rooms. The service was outstanding, with friendly and accommodating staff throughout, especially at the restaurant. The location was excellent, being right downtown with easy access to shops and restaurants. The dining experience was enjoyable, and the facilities were well-maintained.
Staying at this gem of a hotel was a cozy and warm experience. The rooms, although still small, were clean and had everything for an overnight stay. The awesome corner balcony accessed with a sliding door and a separate bedroom added to the charm. The service was polite with a touch of alternative style, while the location allowed easy access to everything one could need within walking distance.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The rooms were spotless and cozy, capturing the charm of the early gold rush days, though not very spacious but had all the necessary amenities. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The location was fantastic, close to all necessities and historic sites, perfect for exploring downtown businesses. However, the dining options were limited, and the arena view from my room felt odd. Overall, a great value for the price paid.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms had an amazing 1800's feel with antique furniture but were super comfortable, especially the beds and the very modern bathroom. The corner balcony accessed through a sliding door was a highlight, although the noisy fans on the rooftop were a bit distracting. The separate bedroom was a nice touch.
I was pleasantly surprised by the rooms exceeding my expectations. The recent renovation added a modern touch to the space, though the temperature could have been a bit lower. The layout between the living room and bedroom was convenient. However, some noise seeped in occasionally.
The hotel offered clean and comfortable rooms with friendly staff, but the dining experience fell short with limited options. The location was convenient with close proximity to a casino, shops, and dining, though some extra charges like for toothpaste felt unnecessary.
