Good stay but upgrades needed.
Rooms are very very long in the tooth. They really need to do some basic maintenance & upgrading. We had a two bedroom, only one room had a lamp, the other an overhead ceiling light, weird. The toilet paper was so thin, you had to use 3X’s the amount. Holes in the wall, no stopper in the sink, picture frame & picture completely falling apart. We were on the street side. A lot of noise until about midnight, maybe some dbl or triple panes windows would be in order for those rooms. However, the bedding was super comfortable. I realize it’s historic but the upgrades and basic maintenance would be nice. Perfect location for everything right there on Main St. Staff very friendly. I stay there every time I’m in Placerville and that won’t change. It’s a good value but some basics need to be addressed.
Beautiful little downtown area. Really Historic and the Hotel was pretty Cool haunted and exciting

My dog and I had a very pleasant stay at this hotel. Friendly staff and a quaint room. Very old fashion, almost to the point of going back in time. We will definitely be staying there again
From the moment I walked into the room, the wobbly floorboards made me dizzy. The room was not quaint as advertised. The blanket had a vape pen in it, so clearly not cleaned. The staff was unresponsive at my concerns, claiming that "it was the most haunted of all the rooms." No one was available to help me with luggage, in fact the phone in the room had no dial tone. This was a huge disappointment and felt very unsafe.
