The Bodie Hotel

I love the idea of the old world charm but this was a bit disappointing. Know that it is basically self-service. It could've been better kept inside and out but was severely lacking. For the price we expected much more. You have to bring your dirty towels to them daily and ask for new ones which you have to get yourself, you have to take out your own trash, and in 4 days Noone even offered to change bedding or clean. The toilet is clearly linked to very old plumbing which is obvious by the brightly marked clean outs in the rear of the building yet staff will try to blame any type of blockage or problems on the guests. Staff was friendly until this review was submitted and come to find out they are extremely rude and unprofessional incorrectly commenting on clothing and cleanliness and children is absolutely insane! Be careful if you stay here as they are most likely listening through the walls and watching your every move. A bit creepy if you ask me. They also tries to come after us for plumbing expenses of $250 for their old plumbing clogging up lying about us flushing baby wipes that we have never done. All because we left a negative review. Owners that do this should never be allowed to run a business. Pretty sure dude was cracked out on some type of upper as well. Just read their response to my review and tell me if you would want to stay somewhere where they treat their customers like that? At the very least I should be owed an apology if not a refund!

My son and I just wrapped up a two night stay at The Bodie Hotel and what a pleasurable experience it was. We were warmly greeted by the owner, Jeff, when we arrived. You can instantly tell he loves the history of the hotel and town, as well as the area. His excitement is infectious! Jeff gave us a tour of the hotel and several suggestions of what to do in the area. We had the bunkbed room, which was a perfect space for my son and me. The parlour space allowed me to get some work done and the WiFi connection was solid. There is coffee downstairs and a Nespresso machine upstairs, as well as a communal microwave and refrigerator. The hotel is historic and the owners have applied a thoughtful approach to the decor in order to maintain the historic feel. I loved looking around at the many details. I definitely plan to return!!

This is an genuinely old building that was relocated nearly 100 years ago to its current location in Bridgeport. The old Victorian wood creaks a bit and you won't find as many outlets in each room as a modern hotel. This authentic piece of history is exactly what we were hoping to find and we're so glad that we stayed here. The feel of this hotel is warm and welcoming, made even more so by "Steve," who greeted us kindly, walked us to our room, chatted with us about the history of the hotel and even offered to help carry my bags. Conveniently located in the middle of this two block town and close to Bodie Historic State Park. We enjoyed our experience here very much.

Good base for Body, but rustic/basic. Good: service, comfy bed, historic hotel, close to restaurant. Not so good: no hangers or hooks for clothes, no desk or easy chair, no TV, closet-sized bath, room faced highway 395 40 feet away, no breakfast, 10 a.m. checkout.

I actually did not stay at this hotel so can't say how the rooms are. I see other reviews and they are good. I came to early for checking so I was advised to go next door to another hotel so I could check in, so, I did that.

Great friendly staff & cool history
