Excellent Hotel Stay for a Couple

Highly recommend staying here with its central location in the downtown and nearby hiking and adventure sites. The room is fine for a couple, but somewhat long and narrow. The AC cooled the room well and was not in the bedroom which kept the noise down. Bed was comfortable. Strangely the front desk staff had a pattern of being distant or grumpy, but not that important an issue. Overall, this was a perfect place to stay after a late night concert at Ironstone in Murphys.

Liked: Staff & service
The staff were very helpful and friendly. Property, which we were told was recently renovated, did not meet the same standards. we had a room with cracked tiles in the shower, holes in the wall where the towel racks had been removed and you had to lift the toilet seat to close the bathroom door. Room was clean and had everything we needed. Maybe my expectations were too much for a “historic” hotel in an old gold rush town.

People working there are the best. They are friendly and always provide excellent service. Hotel is old and smelly though. It needs a new carpet, or a good clean up.

Online said that the pool was ready and it being a very hot weekend was the main reason we chose that place AFTER check in we were told that it was in fact not ready and was told that my room was nonrefundable and I had to argue to get refunded due to the amenities they said were available were in fact not.

Wouldnt recommend this hotel to anyone. Some rooms have no windows. We checked out for a day (though room was paid) and went camping because room was terrible.
