Winnedumah Hotel

This historic Inn has comfortable beds, is very clean, helpful & friendly staff. Bagged breakfast was very good.

My husband and I had driven by the Winnedumah on our way to Tahoe. We finally had the opportunity to stay here. We really enjoy older hotels and Bed and Breakfasts so this is right up our alley. We loved lounging in the lobby and talking with Robert, Cindy and Derrick. We look forward to the “Reincarnation “ of the Winnedumah!

This hotel per the sign outside was established in 1927. Since I am a historian I appreciate a piece of history. It was interesting to stay in a hotel built so long ago. The Innkeeper in the morning was a lovely lady, and mentioned the hotel is in the process of being restored. It was nice to have a real fire place with a fire lit in the evening. The bed was comfortable with soft sheets and blankets. In the morning, the breakfast was brown bag due to Covid, but generous with breakfast for two and I had snacks for the rest of the day. If you love old things and appreciate history, this is a place to check out. The hotel as the Innkeeper said, is a Grand Old Lady, and I would be interested to see her restored to her former glory.

Summary: This is such a cool old building! It needs to catch up on maintenance and repairs. We had an issue and the management was unhelpful unfortunately. Recommendation: The owner is planning renovations and repairs in 2022. Perhaps this will mean a more comfortable stay and better hospitality in 2023. I will avoid the hotel until then. Issue details: The shower head was missing the faceplate and would just do an intense jet stream. We explained this to the manager Cristy. She responded by saying that it's an original fixture and that's the way it's supposed to work. She proceeded to explain that my expectations are off because I'm from a younger generation. She also said she could help us if we had booked directly booked with the hotel instead of a third party site. I assume this is because her profit margins would justify the effort/expense.

This was such a unique stay! Loved the lobby and how they kept the historic quality to the entire location. As an interior designer I loved walking throughout the space and admiring the architecture of the location. The staff was wonderful and helpful. Great amenities in the room. My only issue to the location was our bed. The bed had a vintage squeak to it but on the one side it was horribly squeaky. Getting in and out we were worried we were going to wake the whole hotel. Great pillows and blankets but not the best sleep for us.

Dirty, Old, No Micro, No hair drier, Unclean restroom- Disgusting. Even Expensive. Nothing to use ..Worst Hotel. Not Hotel but just Barn.

Such a unique place,it was like staying in an old west hotel. With it's squeaky wood floors,long hallways and with views of the mountains

Interesting antique room. No blow dryers or ironing board/iron because it stress the older electrical wiring, I was told. Plenty of hot water, tough to get upstairs if you have luggage due to no elevator. Breakfast was cold served in a sack, so not a true bed and breakfast. Interesting history.

This historical hotel was clean and quiet and had a certain charm. The rooms are on the small side, as rooms of that era are, but it had enough room and the bathroom is also big enough. The beds and linens are high quality. Best of all the staff was extremely helpful.
