Staying downtown in old historic Placerville in an old historic hotel is a kick. Makes your stay in Placerville a memorable experience. Parking is provided in a convenient adjoining lot. Lots of good fun place to eat. Enjoy breakfast at the Buttercup Pantry - try the biscuits, a milkshake at Mel's, but the pie is blah, and dinner at Bricks. Check out the shops with tempting goods of all types at tourist trap prices.

No complaints. Fun place to visit in the motherlode.

"Historic but facilities were limited."

Very Good

7.0

Staff, views, town setting, history.

It had a kitchenet; however, nothing to cook with, no where to eat or anything to eat with, no table to work at, and breakfast never happened before we left (really just wanted a decent cup of coffee). I get better water pressure from my camper for a shower.

"Wonderful old fashioned hotel."

Exceptional

It's comfortable and I love the old fashioned decor. It got a little hot because we didn't know how to set the thermostat. We should have asked. We had a two room suite. It was perfect. My teenage granddaughter had her own room and tv.

It got a little to hot the first night but they helped us fix that.

6.0

The staff both evening and morning were lovely, and the lobby decorated for Christmas was charming. Bed was quite comfortable.

Suite furnishings were shabby and dirty - more '70s garage sale than "antique." Sitting area chairs and couch need a good scrub, or better yet, replacing. Rooms were stuffy and too warm. Windows looked out on a brick wall.
