Soda Springs Hotel Historical Marker

The Soda Springs Hotel in Soda Springs, California, has a rich history dating back to its opening in 1927. Originally built to cater to the increasing number of travelers with automobiles, the hotel quickly became a popular destination along Highway 40. With its convenient location near ski resorts and a railroad stop, the Soda Springs Hotel thrived until the coming of I-80 in 1960, which reduced the need for lodging in the area.

Owned by Maggie and Marvin Littenstein, the hotel has its fair share of interesting stories, including the time when their daughter was granted a pony and it was housed in the hotel's basement during the colder months. Additionally, during the prohibition era, the hotel's basement served as a gambling spot, while liquor was discreetly served upstairs. Today, visitors can explore the hotel's museum and learn about the area's history and artifacts.
