We stayed in room 11. The mattress was too soft. Could hardly turn over. I saw a previous review where the guest complained about this particular mattress and the response that the mattresses had been replaced recently with pillow top mattresses. Even so, I've never encountered a mattress this soft. The bathroom tiles are cracked. The bar between the bed and the kitchenette takes up so much space its a little hard to get around. The staff was very good, friendly and courteous. I would recommend anyone booking a room here to ask for a room away from the main road and sit on the bed before tucking in for the night.

Host/hostess was very welcoming during check in and check out. The room was perfect for 2 people. We would have enjoyed having bar soap and better quality paper products but overall it was a nice setup. We stayed in #10 but unfortunately each morning we were rudely awakened at 6 and 6:30am by the loud music from the RV next door.

My stay was very peaceful. The grounds have seating to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful trees. If there is anything I would change it would be larger parking spaces for oversized cars, maybe street parking was an option.

We enjoyed our stay in this quaint inn that is also close to downtown Grass Valley, Empire Mines State Park and the surrounding freeways. Staff was very responsive and we appreciated the end room which felt very peaceful and private. Bathroom and kitchenette were somewhat recently remodeled and very comfortably practical. So they have AC because we were there during an excessive heat wave. Would stay again, but probably not during a heat wave if I can help it.

Nice little property with assigned parking. The staff was friendly and helpful. The room was clean and orderly. Easy check in and check out process. Room Key process was very easy to use. Couple small issues would be if you have a large car or truck it would be difficult to get in and out of the parking spaces. So be prepared for that and may have to park on the street. The bed was a little too soft for my liking but may be ok for others. I just found myself sunk in a little too deep in the mattress as the night went on. Lastly, the street the hotel is in a residential area of Grass Valley but the street is pretty busy and you hear a lot a road noise. In the morning as people are going to work. All in all I would come back to stay here again next time I come and need to stay in Grass Valley or Nevada City areas. It’s a quiet, cozy property and reasonably priced and quality compared to other properties in the area.

The Inn is old but charming. Staff was very friendly. Only issue is the HVAC was so loud and noisy it kept me up the entire night, going off and on every 20 mins. Its in a great location. Be aware that what they consider a 2 bedroom is actually a one bedroom, with an added bed in the living area of the room.
