Not what you’d expect.

I won’t go back. The room was in the back, by the back door that was very busy. Bed was small. Walls were thin. You have to get all the way into the shower to turn it on, hoping it won’t be to cold or to hot. And worst of all there was a blue light near the ceiling that kept strobing all night.

Loved it! Will return.

A gorgeous historic hotel centrally located to shopping and restaurants. The hotel bar and restaurant were excellent. We opted for the King Studio and had a nice sized room. Others in our party had small rooms with queen sized beds. We will definitely will return.

I had a great big, nicely appointed room with an excellent bathroom. I would have liked a coffee set up in the room and a TV.( No TVs at NE). The restaurant was excellent, service was a bit slow though .

This is the largest, and probably best hotel right in Nevada City, on the main street. But it is far enough from any live music venues not to be bothered. A beautifully restored/refitted old brick nineteenth century hotel. I would definitely stay there again in Nevada City. That said, it does not have 21st-century innovations like TV or swimming pools! But if you want old-timey Gold Country charm, I recommend it. The hotel restaurant is good, too. And the staff was professional

Hotel stay was excellent, very clean, comfortable bed, and nice amenities. As for the restaurant the food was good. However, customer service could be better and the wait time to receive our food was close to an hour after sitting down and placing our food order quickly.
