Myself and 2 buddies arrived in town and rented 3 rooms after being attracted to the historic hotel located in the heart of town. We ended up having to leave at 10pm after the owners did not seem to be getting along. Be careful if your staying here and the husband wife team which run the hotel do not appear... More

This is a funky old hotel, rich in history. The restaurant is very good - unique Croatian menu. This summer (2012) they have an outdoor music area, which would be attractive if the music was acoustic, and the singer had some talent. However, it is an electric guitar with the amplifiers set way too high, especially for the poor quality... More

Thiis is a historic hotel in a National Historic District that generally preserves the physical appearance of an old mining town. This building has a plaque that indicates that it was built in 1882, and appears to have been upgraded the last time in about 1955. It is authentic but really shabby, and way over-priced considering that there are numerous... More

We were hesitant to try the Forest Queen because we thought it had a bar downstairs. But, the bar has been converted to a restaurant. Our hosts, Vic and Elke, treated us like royalty -- custom breakfast every morning, fresh flowers, a surprise dessert and pot of tea delivered to our room one night. They are the friendliest, most attentive... More

Honestly, if you're looking for a decent place to stay and a great experience to boot you can't beat The Forest Queen. The rooms here have been updated but the place retains an authentic Old West charm. My wife and I felt like we walked right into Deadwood. I assume if you're looking to be left alone you will be...

This hotel is historic, but has been updated. The rooms are exceptionally clean with great bedding and pillows! Small rooms, but fine if you'll be out during the day hiking or biking. Ask for ROOM #6! It is right on the river so you hear the sound of the creek all night long. Breakfast is delicious with crepes, omelets, and... More

Back away from the Forest Queen. Their website and associate on the phone tout its remodeled/updated rooms, with a quaint feel of the 1800's. True story~~ we made our reservations one month in advance. When we arrived, the bartender checked us in, couldn't find the keys and although cordial, was less than welcoming. We gathered our luggage, walked upstairs (the... More
