The checkin process was simple. That's where the good experience ended. The room we were given, Room 106, was located downstairs from the main floor, in rhe back of the hotel. The windows could not be opened either for light or fresh air, as they were located directly on a busy downtown sidewalk. The room was overcrowded with large furniture and, consequently, claustraphobic, stuffy, and uncomfortable. The bathroom sink was knee-level and there was standing water in the tub/shower. We had reserved 2 nights, but only stayed for 1, since it was so awful.

More of an experience to stay here verses comfort. It was fairly expensive compared to other hotels that offer more amenities. Beds were fair as far as comfort, bottled water is not available. Bathroom was small. It is a pretty hotel though and convenient location. I would recommend staying elsewhere and just visiting the lobby and the saloon.

The reason we stayed at this hotel is because we wanted to experience time in the 1800s. There was a bag time pianist in the restaurant and bar. That was really good. Prices were reasonable, and we were offered complementary beverage. We were able to leave our vehicle in the parking lot while we took the Silverton train, and everything was within walking distance.
