Older property built about 1900. Well preserved and updated, but still has the feel of the early 1900s. Close walk to many restaurants and tourist shops. Very close to the Silverton train depot. We enjoyed the train ride very much. Only negative was a bar across the street that played loud music. We were there on 4th of July weekend, so that may not be a regular event.

The room was charmingly beautiful. Staff was friendly and helpful. We have never had such a comfortable bed, we didn't want to leave. We wanted something quaint and historical, it exceeded our expectations. But if you are looking for modern amenities like microwaves and refrigerators you won't find them. But there is water, coffee and tea on every floor with lovely balconies to sit and enjoy the scenery. We hope we can return soon.

We loved the hotel and location, however, we are seniors and getting our bags upstairs was difficult. We were in the rear building. We would stay again but make sure there was an elevator for us to take bags up and down.
