A mile south of town via NV Hwy 342, the cool Gold Hill Hotel & Saloon claims to be Nevada's oldest hotel, and feels like it, with a breezy, old-fashioned charm and atmospheric bar featuring a great wine and spirits selection. Some rooms have fireplaces, original tubs and views of the Sierras.
The owners have worked hard to make this place as welcoming as possible, and they've certainly succeeded.
