Great place to stay,very unique and we love the back in time vibe
Very clean and staff are very friendly
Wonderful town to spend the weekend in,although most of the stores are closed on Sunday which we respected being a church town.
Great stay at the hotel over the holiday weekend. Right in the middle of town - walking distance to everything. Easy and free parking on site. Only "complaint" - water temp varies a lot in the shower! (but not enough to take away a star!)
Charming throwback with no downside even in a historic monument. Friendly staff, cozy room, full breakfast at the companion lodge. Perfect rest before a long bike ride through the nearby Pine Creek gorge.
The room lacked many of the amenities that I would expect, like a desk, microwave, mini coffee maker, AC, but the hotel is beautiful in its historic preservation.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Check in was easy and front desk(& other staff we encountered were friendly and helpful)
We took the room with the sitting area included. All in tip top shape.
The hotel is retro and quirky, which was charming. The staff overall were not friendly. There was no heat in the room. The plumbing was interesting, the toilet would “burp” when the room above us flushed and the sink drained slowly. Very limited hotel restaurant/bar hours, closing at 8PM.
The town was quaint, convenient to restaurants and cute shops. I liked the historic feel of the hotel and thought the bedding and bathrooms were clean. However, the carpeting in the room , hallway and stairway should be replaced. The appearance and staining took away from the otherwise tidy feeling.
Large number of broken tiles in bathroom shower sink also cracked broken chair in room hotel was listed as historic but more run down looking than anything else
This was such a great place to stay for our visit to the PA Grand Canyon. The hotel was very cool, the staff super friendly, nice breakfast included in the am. Wonderful dinner in the tavern inside. Parking right out back and everything in town you could walk to. I would return here in a heartbeat next time I come to Wellsboro!
This is a charming slice of history that is run by dedicated staff wo want your stay to be spoecial and comfortable. If you are used to spanking new hotels you will find some of the features quaint (instructions on how to operate a radiator valve on checking in) but the beds are comfortable and clean and the showers are great and hold a steady temperature. The various dining options should suit your mood - and if not, there are plenty of other options right outside the door.
