Beautiful decor, lovely that an actual hot breakfast was served buffet style, I don't recall reading that when I booked!
Room was attractively furnished with Long drapes and refrigerator and set at perfect temperature I never had to fuss with!

Absolutely loved this charming home. Very clean, comfortable and had a romantic vibe. The place is spacious, the property owner is very thoughtful, thorough, and helpful. This place is a hidden gem, and would book here again.

This victorian home is nicely renovated and offers clean and charming rooms. There is no receptionist or staff to greet you; you enter the home and room by a code that is texted to you. This unusual arrangement may be a carryover from the pandemic.
Located in Grass Valley, Sierra Mountain Inn features guest rooms with marble bathrooms. Free WiFi is included. Historic Old Town Grass Valley is 10 minutes’ walk away.

I travel to Grass Valley as a 100% remote worker who's company is located there - need a spot to park myself every 3 months or so - this was a perfect and affordable solution for an older solo gal traveler.
Located on 4 wooded acres, this Grass Valley motel offers a seasonal outdoor pool. It serves morning coffee and Danishes that guests can enjoy at the picnic tables outside.

A nice base for Gold Country exploring, easy town to get around with good shopping and lovely historic street and buildings. I actually liked GV better than Nevada City, though the latter had more historic buildings. Very good food on offer all over.
Was surprised that many restaurants, one brewery and some sights were closed not just on Monday (the norm) but also on Tuesday and at least one on Wednesday.
Good walking town, not too big. Friendly people.

Grass Valley( & nearby Nevada City)are charming small towns filled with wonderful history & excellent restaurants & shopping. Empire Mine State Park & South Yuba River State Park are a must to visit! The Nevada County Narrow Gauge Railroad Museum is another “gem” not to be missed! ( great for all ages)

Grass Valley is a sweet little town with fun shops and decent restaurants. It is a nice day trip or a good place to stay on the way to Reno or Tahoe. It is not far from Nevada City which is essentially the same as Grass Valley but a bit larger. The community is really nice and the area is very pretty. There is a mining museum in the area which can give you a good idea of how the area developed.

Going in April means most of the activities or attractions in the area are not open during week...just the weekends; parking is a major problem downtown after about 4 pm. Grocery and restaurant prices are high, but that is not unique to Grass Valley

I loved Grass Valley and felt I only saw a small part of it.
I loved Grass Valley and felt I only saw a small part of it. Town is quaint, quiet and safe feeling. Many places to eat and shop and many outdoor activities. The town is low key and comfortable. There is some non-covid compliance, but those establishments were in the minority and easy to avoid. The pasty shop is wonderful and all the restaurants we tried were excellent. Many wine tasting establishments and many breweries to choose from.

first room they gave me smelled of cigarette smoke. i requested another room, the front desk was very kind. Second room was better but still had a smell. the water pressure in the shower made loud noises when showering. The bed was comfortable and there was a microwave in the room. easy access to the freeway.
We did not eat the breakfast. Drove to a restaurant. Cleaning staff was very pleasant. Liked location of Golden Chain Motel. Near Grass Valley, CA. Off Hiway 49, up a steep driveway to enter parking area. Quiet. Would be good to install a vertical grab bar to the right of bathtub/shower for ease of entry/exit to the tub. Towel had an odor like perhaps they had not been sufficiently rinsed. Our room was the size of a small studio apartment. Golden Chain located in a forested area.
We would return.
The room was updated, the perfect mix between updated and classic historical. Absolutely gorgeous. The kitchen area surpassed expectations. At one point I had forgotten the code to our room, and the owner was super patient and kind. We can’t wait to go back! It’s a super short distance to downtown Grass Valley, and the updated shops and gluten free bakery were a big plus! Great location.
We really enjoyed our stay at the Golden Dreams Inn! Our room was large and comfortable and included a small kitchen with microwave, refrigerator and coffee. The location was awesome, very close to town. Staying here took me back in time and I loved learning about the history of Grass Valley. I would definitely recommend staying here!
I have stayed at this Best Western quite a few times, its always a good experience. The staff is always friendly and accommodating and I like that its always clean which is the biggest thing for me. Also the location is great centrally located near the grocery stores and places to eat and the grounds are very pretty
It’s a charming property with wonderful staff who go the extra mile to make you feel at home. There are so many little details that put this hotel over the top. We especially enjoyed the park like setting, pool and hot tub, local coffee, art, hot breakfast and happy hour!
The size of the room was spacious and nicely decorated as if it was someone's home rather than a hotel room. Spacious bathroom and living areas. I extended my stay by one night and the staff was very helpful.
The room was clean and recently renovated. The hotel is a 5-minute walk from the historical centre. A small park with chairs and tables in the shade of a large tree was the perfect place for breakfast.
Everything. Staff was awesome, room was awesome, location was great, happy hour & breakfast were bonus'. In general, we cancelled our reservation from another hotel when a room here became available.
It was a large room, pet friendly and the staff was nice. The surrounding area was a neighbor hood. But, walking my dog was great.. I will stay again if I find my self having to. The price was right.
Super clean! All what I need I found there. I liked very much” yellow brick road”-straight road from a hotel room to downtown, either shops, cafe, restaurants and so on. Highly recommended!
