“A bit dicey....”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed September 6, 2012

Ok well I am easy to please, and was just looking for a clean safe place to stay and cheap. Well it is cheap, but man it is way more 'rustic' than I thought it would be. The room was super small and very old, which is ok, and the usual paint coming off the walls and the lone light bulb hanging from a string from the ceiling was a nice touch, but the one window barely opened and you had to prop it up with some old plywood from the scraps just outside the window, it has no screen, and obviously no a/c or air movement whatsoever so it was really hot and gross. The window at night looked directly into another room about 6 feet away, so there was zero privacy and I had to use a blanket and rig it up along the window.......you get the idea. You will survive here, but it is a bit dicey.........I would camp the next time........

“Loads of character and good value”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed August 28, 2012 via mobile

There is loads of history and character here, and a nice change from "cookie cutter" motels. We stayed in an old style room with high ceiling and lace curtains, with a shared bathroom down the hall. A little worn and not to everyone's taste, but very cheap to stay and it met all of our needs.

“Visited hotel, only for a drink though”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed July 24, 2012

This hotel is rich in history. We had a drink in the bar. They also have a nice outdoor bar we could have used, but it had rained. Drinks are a bit pricey, but the view is nice and right off the Main Street. They have alot of different beers if you're interested in that. This is the oldest wooden hotel in the United States.

“The hotel itself could be amazing, but they're not even trying.”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed June 26, 2012

I have stayed here several times over the past few years. The first time was so awesome that it made the vacation, but that was ten years ago. Last night we paid $56 on.a Monday, had to walk room to room to find a.clean one...when we finally got a room, we settled in and then heard fighting in the hall. As it turns out, two of the hotels employees were staying in the room. Foreigners we could not.understand the language, but we could hear him slapping her. We told the ow.we who called off the police saying the girl was just homesick. The yelling.continued as did the.door slamming. Hot, stuffy dirty shower as.well. its sad, it could be.grand.
