Located in downtown wellsboro within walking distance to shoppes and restaurants, this hotel is a throwback in a good way. The staff was attentive and pleasant. The lobby and rooms were clean and functional with modern amenities, but had the feel of another era, giving me a taste of what life might have been like in another time. Breakfast was good also, my kids loved the chocolate raspberry muffins.

Very Historic Hotel

We like to check out old hotels and tbe Wellsboro was a nice one. Previously stayed in the sister Wellsboro Lodge. Very unique, lots of history, artifacts and architecture. Free breakfast and parking in the center of town.

It was a challenge for individual room air conditioning to keep up when it was 95. Would have been nice for the staff to turn on the ac before we arrived. Lobby smelled of old fireplace smoke

Historic and in the middle of an amazing small town that offers more than bigger places. 1/8 of a mile out of town you are in some of the remote areas on the east coast.

Shabby - shabby - chic Historic Pennwells. Pros: Lots of character. Very friendly staff - but everyone is friendly in Wellsboro. Good restaurant and tavern on site. They share the same menus. The interiors of each are unique and terrific. The hotel is in the center of town and walkable to everything. Cons: old and shabby - but it's a bit cool at the same time.

The old gal’s got life in her yet!

This hotel shows its age with worn furnishings and grungy bathroom grout, but the bed was very comfortable and the room very quiet midweek. We walked the block + to the sister hotel, the Penn Wells Lodge, for the complimentary hot breakfast, which was tasty.

Classic old charm....and I mean lots and loads of charm. Decent free breakfast and on site dinning. In center of village so walking about is a must. We visited to view the stars at Cherry Springs which is 45 minutes away. The rooms are small compared to most hotels and our bed was a bit soft for me but just right for my partner. I will gladly take a smaller room just to stay at this hotel. The staff is soo friendly and helpful for directions and recommendations. Place gets a 10 .
