Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Léger
8304 Main St., Mokelumme Hill, California, 95245, USA
A rowdy gold-rush miners' haunt, this hotel anchoring Moke Hill's historic downtown contains rooms and suites decorated with a mishmash of Victorian antiques and utilitarian pieces. Ask about friendly ghosts and disreputable folks like Black Bart and Joaquin Murrieta who imbibed and played cards here. The courtyard opens to a garden with a pool and deck, and 150-year-old orange trees dot the grounds. The cozy restaurant, its original stone walls partially exposed, serves traditional American fare, from burgers and shrimp and grits to filet mignon. Dine on the patio when it's warm.
