National Exchange Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Unforgettable Stay! The National Exchange Hotel completely exceeded my expectations. The hotel itself is absolutely stunning—beautifully restored, elegant, full of character, and one of the most charming places I’ve ever stayed. What truly made this an unforgettable experience, though, was the incredible staff. Every single person we encountered went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. A special shoutout to the front desk team for their warm hospitality and professionalism—they made us feel at home from the moment we arrived. The restaurant staff also deserves recognition. Whether it was brunch or dinner, the service was exceptional. The waitstaff was attentive, friendly, and genuinely cared about making every meal a great experience. It’s rare to find a place where both the property and the people are equally outstanding. Thank you to everyone at the National Exchange Hotel for making our visit so memorable. I can’t wait to come back and will recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Nevada City!"

Grass Valley Courtyard Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Grass Valley Courtyard is the best place we have stayed while visiting our family! They have beautiful grounds, plenty of shaded places to sit and relax . The rooms are clean and maintained, the amenities are wonderful such as coffee pots that hold more than a cup of coffee and the coffee is from a cute little coffee shop called Caroline's Coffee."

Yuba River Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful cabins clean and well equipped, quite a nice setup for a cabin in the deep woods it’s quite a treat. Very nice area to chill, and many places to explore , north Yuba river easy access everywhere on 49 and wild plum rd beautiful river access right by the inn. 5 minutes to Gold lake highway , numerous lakes and spectacular views of the north sierra butte. So much to see and do. No tv but who needs it, the only thing to be aware of is that the closest big grocery store is far from sierra city so pick up stuff b4 you start climbing the hills."

The Dutch Flat Hotel

8/10 Good

"First, I booked via Expedia. I read an email from the hotel forwarded from Expedia but I failed to see there was an attachment. My bad. We arrived at the hotel around 5 pm. Everything was locked up. I called the hotel and was advised to use the keypad to open the building and again, once inside, to open our room. There was no staff on the premise. We thought we might be the only guests in the hotel but later bumped into a family staying on the floor above us. If I had opened the email attachment I would have been prepared for what we encountered. The person I called with when we arrived could not have been nicer. She even took the initiative to verify that the nearby Monte Vista Restaurant was open for dinner. The Blue Room (Big Four) was clean, had nice bathroom towels and amenities, and WiFi, the bed was comfortable. Once we got over the surprise of no staff, we got into the history of this 1852 gold rush relic and we began to really appreciate our gold rush adventure at the Dutch Flat Hotel."
