The room was awesome. Service was great. The price? Let’s say it was a total value and eateries were very close! Good continental breakfast too. I’d gladly stay there again!

8.6/10 Excellent! (101 reviews)
While the hotel itself is very charming and does boast great amenities such as a cold plunge and sauna. But the walls are extremely thin. You hear everything even with the provided earplugs they give you. For the price you expect to sleep peaceful and it was no where near that. A dog was left unattended in its room and barked until 1 in the morning along with hearing everything going on in the room next door. I would highly suggest only staying here on the nights where it’s priced reasonably and you’re ok with little to no sleep.

Empire Mine State Historic Park protects the largest, deepest, and richest mines in the California Gold Rush period and operated from 1850 - 1956. It produced 5.8 Million ounces of gold that was extracted from 367 miles of passages. It also houses the exquisite "Cottage" built between 1898 and 1905 with beautiful extensive stately formal and informal gardens with fountains surrounding the home. Although the grounds, Cottage, and Mine are impressive, the picture shown stands out in the photos of the garden. #Nature
