This 1856 hotel provides overnight lodging in keeping with the town's historic flavor. A steep staircase leads up to the guest rooms at The City Hotel, where a large sitting room and outdoor balcony await. Spartan but comfortable guest rooms have high ceilings, sweet old-time wallpaper, lace curtains, worn wood floors, and are furnished with Victorian antiques from the collection of the California State Parks Department. They have no TV or phone, but do have free Wi-Fi. Each room has a private toilet and sink, but the shower is down the hall. To make the trek there more civilized, rooms are equipped with robes and a wicker basket packed with towels, soap, and shampoo.

The historic Fallon Hotel, dating from 1857, is beautifully restored to its Victorian grandeur. Many of the furnishings are original to the hotel. Several large second-floor rooms with balconies are perfect for families. The hotel is operated in similar style as the City Hotel and is under the same management.

Located in the rear of the hotel, the Fallon House Theatre has been operating since the 1880s. The second-longest continually operating playhouse in California, it stages both first-run and classic dramas and musicals and employs both professional and student talent. The semi-professional Sierra Repertory Theatre stages eight major productions each year.
