Lady at the front desk was very nice. The building is very old so don't expect it to be anything like a new hotel but it's nice for how old it is. My only complaint is that the bed made a lot of noise so moving around or rolling over in the night might wake up the other person.

Really enjoyed our stay at this historic hotel. The history behind it is very fascinating and the decorations went along with that. The front staff Carrie was so super friendly if we are ever in Placerville, we would stay here again.

I enjoyed my two night stay here, but the place is a little bit funky. The bathroom was clean and modern, but the rooms are kind of dated and getting luggage throughthe elevator is a wrestling match despite it charm of being so old. The building was built in 1857 and it’s an interesting place to stay. I would probably go back because the staff was great And it’s got a good location for what I do when I’m in town.
