Guest Reviews
Charming! Historic! Haunted?!?
It was unique. Loved the big copper bathtub. The bed was quite comfortable though could improve on the pillows. Great location in the heart of old town.
The manager, Dee was wonderful. He even let us hang out past checkout to accommodate our noon train departure.
The electrical outlets were inadequate. The only one in the bathroom didn’t work. There weren’t any in the second bedroom in our suite. There were two functional outlets in our bedroom but no mirrors making it challenging to dry and style hair.
Location was great. I liked that the check in was so smooth and the historic building was pretty cool. My room was decorated in a way that made me feel like I was back in the 1800's. Charming.
The room had a weird smell that I didn't care for. Bed had a plastic cover or something that made it very hot to sleep on and kind of uncomfortable. Period furniture pieces were stained and unattractive. While the room was charming, I would not stay again because of the 2 things I mentioned.
Everything was wonderful from check in to check out. Dee is a fantastic host, got me checked in a little earlier than usual because I had flown in and needed to drop my luggage off to explore Old Town. The free coffee and pastries was an unexpected perk. I slept really really well in my room which was number six. I loved my stay so much that I am returning later this year for my birthday.
There was nothing at all that I didn't like. Excellent property to stay at when visiting Old Town.
Room was nice, bed was comfy. Lots of character.
Staff had contacted me in advance to ask what time I would arrive - I told them. On the day of arrival they called me, we talked and confirmed my arrival time (via train). They asked me to call when my train arrived or if my plans changed. My plans did not change. I called when my train arrived (on time) - straight to voicemail. The hotel was closed when I arrived, called again - straight to voicemail. I was very lucky we found a gentleman was leading a ghost tour there (not an employee). He let us in, left his tour group, got us to our room and returned to his tour. By his actions it was VERY obvious he had taken care of their guests before. There was no hotel staff on premises. I have not heard from the hotel to explain what happened or to apologize. This hotel is sitting on a goldmine, I reckon, with their adjacency to a major transit center plus free shuttles (every 20 minutes) to the airport so I do not understand this behavior. Very, very frustrating.
I loved the old vibe. The customer service was excellent. The area was quiet at nite.
The bed was somewhat uncomfortable.
The hotel is in an ideal spot Close to the shops, restaurants, and the trolley stop. The hotel was a step back into time. No television, radio or clocks in the room. It was a very relaxing place after a day of a sightseeing. The scones and croissants were delicious.
It would have been nice if the bar would have been open for Happy Hour during the week.
The history and the beauty. Dee welcome you and is a great person there. Great job Dee and thank you again
That we had to leave this beautiful place
HVAC didn’t function and staff never got back to me about it
the shower!
no wake-up call option
Location good for my trip needs.
A plus would be its quaintness...but I do not need quaint.
I did not know there was no TV. Location was central, but noisy, No hangers for clothes, only hooks. Bed too soft (but that is personal).
Woman serving coffee in the morning was nice, but WAS NOT GOING TO SERVE ME UNTIL 8a.m. All I hoped for was a cup of coffee, but she does not understand the "guest" thing, only her job thing.
Dee was an excellent host and it was a fun experience!
The sink hot water had low pressure but the showers worked great. No other issue and wasn't even a big deal.
Hotel was as beautiful (if not more) inside as it was outside. Staff was very kind. Appreciated that there was designated parking for hotel guests as Old Town parking can get very packed and hard to find. Definitely would stay here again.
I liked that it is a historic hotel in a historic location. The rooms were decorated according to the time period & warm and cozy with a balcony with tablle & chairs. Dee was very friendly and helpful. There were scones & coffee for breakfast. There were also main rooms downstairs with interesting displays & signs about the history of the hotel. I love having stayed at a motel where people who rode in stageccoaches stayed, and that there were both Californio (Mmexican) & American owners.
