Uncomfortable

The room was small and had a ceiling that was caving in. The shower head was broken and a table was broken. It was overall pretty uncomfortable

The guy on reception was friendly and helpful at check in even though he wasn’t there when we arrived, we had to call him. We got to the room and it wasn’t the cleanest. Lots of dust and sticky surfaces, mold in the shower and stained towels. We had to ask for a clean towel and we had to call the guy on reception yet again as no one was around. In the morning we went for breakfast at 7.30 as he said it would be open. There was no one around. Another guest called him and he said he was on his way. We had to leave as we had a booking so had no breakfast. He knew we had a booking and told us breakfast would be open. The website states breakfast opens at 5am which confused other guests staying.

Very Comfortable Hotel

I already look forward to my next stay at the Gunn House Hotel again. Very nice staff, really good breakfast and cool AC for the hot days. The location is very near restaurants, convenience stores and bars. We had a great time. It's rustic, but quite comfortable.

Didn’t have any problems, hotel staff were very nice. Very good price for two nights. A little outdated, but that is understandable as the building is a historical original building.

We were excited to stay at the Gunn House, but sadly, the reality of our stay fell far from our expectations. Firstly, as my husband is mobility challenged, I asked for a ground floor room ... which we were given, but they failed to tell us that the car park is down quite a few steps, that the pool and breakfast salon are on the 1st floor up very steep and rickety stairs. So, to begin with, for anyone who has issues with stairs, I would not recommend it. Our room... where do we start.... the door was very stiff to open, and had no security from the inside at all... it had obviously swollen or twisted as each time we opened or closed it, it was a fight to do so. Although the window had curtains and blinds, the door just had nets that didn't black out any light, and the nets fell off at the slightest touch. The edge of the window where the glass meets the wood was covered in a thick film of dirt, and it was old dirt... not just a bit of dust from the previous guest. The room smelt musty to begin with until we eventually managed to turn the air-conditioning on...to achieve this, you had to stand on a stool... as the unit is so high, you cannot reach the controls. The A/c unit also extremely dusty and filthy, and it looks like the filter has never been cleaned. The floor of the room isn't flat at all, and the furniture, although picked to look antique, was falling apart, trimmings coming off the upholstery, the marble top coming away from the dresser. We had 2 queen which

Walls are dirty, bed spread was stained, huge bugs in the shower, WiFi was inadequate, not enough shower pressure to take a shower, no hot water in the shower. I was literally shocked at the condition of the room. If it wasn’t for the fact that we had a long hard drive to get there, I would have gone elsewhere but it was only one night so we roughed it. If I was the owner I would be embarrassed to have people stay in that room.

The Gunn Hotel was such a joy to stay at. It is a historic building in a California gold mining town, and it embraces that fact. My wife & I werent the only ones taking pictures around the hotel & its grounds. The staff was friendly and I really appreciated their dining recommendations

Older historical hotel from 1850’s. Old antiques and decor all over the rooms and hotel. If you enjoy taking a step back in time, you’ll love the place. If you want modern amenities, this is not for you. They offer a nice free breakfast in the old Parlor room. We stayed here on a Monday for only $65 so it was very affordable for a quick trip to Yosemite only 1.5 hours away. It’s right in the middle of town. We really enjoyed our stay.
