Run down

The place seriously needs some work. Our room had concave floors. It’s very noisy. We booked the hotel because it had a kitchenette, but there were no pots, pans, forks, spoons, plates, etc. the stove and stove oven worked but there was no way to use them without pots or trays. The carpets were dirty. The bathroom ceiling is dirty. The bed was uncomfortable. The building is beautiful, even the elevator is charming. The lobby is lovely to stop into. But I absolutely would not recommend staying here unless it were renovated.

Good stay but upgrades needed.

Rooms are very very long in the tooth. They really need to do some basic maintenance & upgrading. We had a two bedroom, only one room had a lamp, the other an overhead ceiling light, weird. The toilet paper was so thin, you had to use 3X’s the amount. Holes in the wall, no stopper in the sink, picture frame & picture completely falling apart. We were on the street side. A lot of noise until about midnight, maybe some dbl or triple panes windows would be in order for those rooms. However, the bedding was super comfortable. I realize it’s historic but the upgrades and basic maintenance would be nice. Perfect location for everything right there on Main St. Staff very friendly. I stay there every time I’m in Placerville and that won’t change. It’s a good value but some basics need to be addressed.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
From the moment I walked into the room, the wobbly floorboards made me dizzy. The room was not quaint as advertised. The blanket had a vape pen in it, so clearly not cleaned. The staff was unresponsive at my concerns, claiming that "it was the most haunted of all the rooms." No one was available to help me with luggage, in fact the phone in the room had no dial tone. This was a huge disappointment and felt very unsafe.
