The Historic Bullock Hotel

I loved the historic aspect of the Bullock. For those intrigued by its claim of being haunted, that's an extra draw. Our room was spacious and comfortable, and when we first checked in, we had a prime view of the street shootout. The attached restaurant offered a nice breakfast.

My major complaints about the hotel have nothing to do with the hotel itself, but more its location. My family was underwhelmed with Deadwood. It was the kind of town we would have been happy to done a short day trip to, but it didn't hold enough draw to warrant staying overnight. The restaurant options were particularly limited. We wanted options other than pub fare. My only minor complaint with the hotel itself was the cleanliness of some of its common areas (a vacuuming was long overdue). And the casino was kind of sad. Only video-poker style games. No table games.

Loved that the hotel was in the heart of all the action

The room never really cooled off, walls were very thin

It's fun being right in the heart of Deadwood and being in an old hotel with a lot of history. The room was spacious and surprisingly quiet in the heart of town.

The haunting hype is just that...hype. Skip the ghost tour (my wife was really looking forward to it). It could be the lamest thing we have ever witnessed.
