“spent a night in the off season, waste of money”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 January 2012
2
people found this review helpful

We stayed at this hotel thinking it would be really cool to stay at an historic hotel and we are big into staying at family run smaller places and B&B's when we travel. So we thought hey this looks nice, mind you it was off season, January. We show up in the evening to a dark locked hotel, we called the owner, she showed up and let us in. We were the only ones staying in the whole hotel! No lights on, Heat wasnt turned on for us and we stayed in one of the rooms with the shared bath down the hall. Not even a mention of upgrading us to the suite rooms since we were the only people in the hotel! So needless to say we were cold all night (old heating system) and not only that we had to walk down a freezing hall to the bathrooms that were freezing too. Would it have been too much to say hey youre the only ones here tonight, why dont you take one of the rooms with the bath attached? Enjoy your evening. Totally not worth it, room was dingy, needs upkeep all over and we never got warm the whole night. Owners seem to put more effort into their jeep business, nice enough but come on upgrade your only customers to a nicer room. Maybe its different in the summer months there, but for your money go down the street and stay at a place that has comfy beds(hard as a board) and heat.

“One night stay in an authentic place!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 November 2011 via mobile

This hotel is really nice! It is like travel to old times! It feels really authentic! We were the only guests and we got the king size bedroom with private bathroom!
The only disappointing thing is that the bathtub was quite old and not heated enough.

“Honeymoon”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 August 2011

Loved this hotel....the staff was friendly and willing to help out with anything. Loved the old west feeling with no phone or TV in room. The claw bathtub was cool, too.

Room Tip: If going to stay at this hotel around 4th of July.....get room #9.

“In Need of Repair”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 July 2011

Maintenance of the hotel needs improvement. The blinds were broken and fell out of the window, and the shower curtain was secured by a piece of plastic wrap. My biggest concern was the smoke alarm sitting on a shelf without a battery. This historical hotel has potential if more effort was placed into maintenance and restoration.

“Family rum”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 June 2011
1
person found this review helpful

I am staying here for one week and have two nights left. The owner and his family have been great, they are very willing to please. The only thing I would like is WIFI, there is access from down the street, but it can't be counted on. Next door, Switzerland of America, wouldn't give me access to theirs. Also, this hotel offers tours to just about everywhere desired...it is not advertised well.
