The Gold Mine Hotel

I stayed in a cute little new cabin, and that was the only positive thing about my stay. The cabin floor had a film of sandy dirt across it and the shower only has a tiny hot water tank under the sink so you run out of hot water about 4 minutes in. I stayed over a weekend and they had live music on Saturday night. Even with quality ear plugs and the fan turned on I could hear the band playing and singing until after 10:30. If I was staying there for a fun weekend and did not have to get up for work the next morning at 5:00am that band playing right outside my door might be less of a negative. The hotel does not have a front desk or lobby, so you have to go into the bar/restaurant to check in and out of your room. The servers and bar tenders are the ones checking you into your room. If the restaurant is busy it is very difficult to get checked in. My co-worker and I had a terrible time trying to get an online reservation modified so we could each pay for our rooms separately. There were many conversations via phone, text, and in-person before it finally was resolved. And then after my stay I requested a receipt so I could get reimbursed on my expense report and contacted them via email and phone many times with no response. My co-worker also had to go back to Idaho City to talk with them in person to get them to correctly charge her for her stay after multiple attempts on the phone failed and they never were able to provide her with a receipt and so she had to take a photo of their computer screen to use. I have stayed in many small town hotels and this management was by far the worst I've experienced.

We stayed 2 nights. Comfortable bed, smart tv, friendly service, clean room. Bathtub was very deep, would have loved to take a bath if we had more time. Only wish there was a microwave. The restaurant next door is very convenient and good food. 2nd time staying, will stay again!

Such a great place! New cute stand alone cabins and great food in the Gold Mine Saloon next door. Clean units, comfortable beds, plush towels, and friendly staff. In the summer, one can listen to live music from your cabin’s porch. The food next door at the Gold Mine Saloon is terrific. Try the French Dip and the espresso martini.
