"First, I booked via Expedia. I read an email from the hotel forwarded from Expedia but I failed to see there was an attachment. My bad. We arrived at the hotel around 5 pm. Everything was locked up. I called the hotel and was advised to use the keypad to open the building and again, once inside, to open our room. There was no staff on the premise. We thought we might be the only guests in the hotel but later bumped into a family staying on the floor above us. If I had opened the email attachment I would have been prepared for what we encountered. The person I called with when we arrived could not have been nicer. She even took the initiative to verify that the nearby Monte Vista Restaurant was open for dinner. The Blue Room (Big Four) was clean, had nice bathroom towels and amenities, and WiFi, the bed was comfortable. Once we got over the surprise of no staff, we got into the history of this 1852 gold rush relic and we began to really appreciate our gold rush adventure at the Dutch Flat Hotel."
