We've been waiting for the perfect time to visit this historic hotel from the 1860s and were finally able to make our dream come true this summer! This place was definitely the highlight of our trip. If you don't book a room here and have a family-style dinner with the other guests, you haven't experienced Silver City--especially when you can't go inside most of the privately owned buildings. So book a room and plan on staying overnight! We indulged in a delicious tri tip dinner on a Saturday night, followed by a homemade slice of peach pie. We called ahead of time and reserved our dinner spots when we booked the hotel stay. Everything you buy at the hotel, like meals, snacks, and drinks are put on your room tab and settled upon leaving. We loved how friendly and knowledgeable the hosts were. Roger and Jerri were down-to-earth and respectful to every guest there. Upon arrival, we received a brief tour of the second floor where our room was located, including the shower and toilet rooms which were clean and up to standards. The third floor is off limits, due to the gradual collapsing of the hotel. Yes, the hotel is in its original state, which means there's peeling wallpaper, old-fashioned decor, crooked floorboards, and doors without locks, but we felt this added to the true western experience. Our room window could not be closed so we did hear travelers and guests talking outside and pulling up to the hotel in ATVs, but we didn't care. We were having a blast! I would not recommend this hotel to snobby, city folk who need modern amenities. This is for thrill seekers and adventurers who are laid back and relaxed, with an appreciation and respect for history. As far as this hotel being haunted, we did not feel any supernatural presence. There were a few guests who were psyched out before they even went to their rooms, so the dimly lit hallways added to their paranoia. This hotel is solar powered, with one outlet in the entire hotel, so don't come expecting to use electronics. It's a good idea to bring extra water and snacks for those in-between meals munchies. The dining room boasts a good-sized menu for breakfast and lunch, but dinners are by reservation only.…
