Despite being right on Hiway 49, the hotel offers spacious rooms with two comfortable chairs and a little table, yet the surroundings feel a bit like a swamp.

The location is nice with convenient travel distances to nearby towns and parks. It's not far from Grass Valley and offers a separate area from the motel section.

The dining options were very limited and overly priced. Breakfast was disappointing with no danishes as advertised, leaving room for improvement.

The hotel provides children's toys and leaves, but there are some areas that could be improved for a better overall experience.

The hotel was conveniently located right off the highway, making it suitable for our visit to see friends in Grass Valley. The rooms were expensive for what we received and never warmed up enough for comfort, but being right outside was convenient. The dining experience was limited to just coffee and a small prepacked Danish, which was disappointing, but there were gluten-free products available.

The service was a mix; they were gracious about letting my son back in after we checked out but also rude and verbally abusive to the receptionist who provided good customer service.

I found the hotel to be a bit of a letdown overall. The location was a highlight with its surroundings of trees, but the room I stayed in was far from pleasant and had a strong odor. The service I received, particularly with my late arrival, was very accommodating and helpful, which was a relief. Sadly, the dining options were minimal, and the breakfast did not meet expectations. Despite some positives, the negatives left a lasting impression.

Rooms

My non-smoking room was very dirty and had a strong stench. The beds seemed ancient, and the overall cleanliness was lacking. I would not recommend staying there.

The surrounding trees added a nice touch to the area, but the inconvenient access from the highway made entering and exiting a hassle.

The description of a continental breakfast was far from accurate; the limited offerings of just coffee and a small pre-packed Danish were disappointing. The absence of danishes during the indicated hours was a letdown.

The facilities did not stand out, but the location amidst the trees provided a somewhat calming atmosphere.

I have to say that my stay at this hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The rooms smelled like they had been smoking rooms for 50 years, had a microwave and fridge which was handy, but they were filthy with ancient beds and an overall stench that was off-putting. The location just off the highway was convenient, though.

Rooms
5.0
The rooms had a strong smell as if they had been smoking rooms for many years. The presence of a microwave and fridge was a plus, but unfortunately, the cleanliness was lacking with old beds and an unpleasant odor.
Service

The service was friendly and accommodating for our needs, which was awesome. However, the mattress was too hard for our old bodies to get a comfortable rest.
Location
7.0
The location was convenient to where we were staying, which was a plus. It had a rural charm that I really enjoyed, but the motel area being separate was a bit odd. Despite this, the travel distances to nearby towns and parks were relatively short.
Dining
5.0
The dining experience left something to be desired as advertised danishes were missing, and the pastry provided was underwhelming for a continental breakfast.
Facilities

The facilities were basic, and the wood sills and trim in the bathroom showed signs of wear and neglect.

The hotel had some positive aspects like friendly service and convenient location close to Grass Valley, but there were also drawbacks like outdated rooms and limited breakfast options. Overall, it was an average stay with room for improvement.

Rooms

Our room never quite warmed up to a comfortable temperature due to being outdated, but it was clean and equipped with fridges, premium cable TV, and WiFi.

The service was a mix of friendly gestures like folding my girlfriend's shirt, but there were instances of rude behavior towards the receptionist, which was unpleasant.

Breakfast was described as a continental offering but was limited to just coffee and a pastry in a bag. The quality fell short of expectations.
