“The hotel's 1857 origins are immediately evident, from the antique furnishings to the uniquely memorable elevator; I found this historical immersion a compelling aspect of the stay. Rooms have a distinct, individual character, and the inclusion of complimentary wine from a local vineyard struck me as a particularly gracious touch. Its downtown Placerville location makes it a worthwhile choice.”
