The hotel was a lot of fun to stay in. Felt like we were back in the 1800s. Be sure to bring a book or games, or have a plan to drive somewhere. Not a lot to do around the hotel, but it's a great place to relax.

A treasure!

What a perfectly charming and comfortable historical gem! Very clean and comfortable with all the necessary comforts while keeping the nostalgia of it's younger years. Loved the common kitchen area and the homemade breakfast was a great surprise. Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend!

An Historical Hotel in a Small Gold Rush Town

the Dutch Flat Hotel is a rare chance to experience some 19th C California history at a reasonable cost. The new owners are enhancing the experience with additional buildings. It feels it is in transition still, but nonetheless I had a very pleasant stay, with friendly hosts and a delicious breakfast.

Cute but not to stay

The room was nicely decorated and the building was historical. The place is very cute, but I would probably not stay again. The shower had no pressure and the shower curtain inside the bathtub made you feel like you were suffocating in it. There was a pair of dirty socks between the mattress and the bed frame which made me question if the room was even cleaned. The floor is very loud which means you can hear everyone in the middle of the night getting up to use the bathroom.

This is a recently renovated Gold Rush era hotel, very quaint and authentic. The rooms and bathrooms have been updated to modern standards which is nice, but have authentic period decor/antiques. The town is VERY small and cute, extremely quiet (in general) and a walkable historic self-guided tour. It makes a great base of operations for exploring the area. A couple of things to know: it is 3 story, but because of the age, there is no elevator (typical with Gold Rush era hotels). They have one room on the ground floor for ADA compliance. The town is so small that they don’t have any other businesses besides a small general store and post office, so you must drive to find anything else to do. As of this moment there is no restaurant or bar, but the hotel owner is working on that and says that pending permit approvals, should open their restaurant and bar this year. During the week, breakfast is just self-serve coffee and cereal, but they offer more on weekends. Despite it being so quiet, there is an active train track not far from the town and although we didn’t hear it (the road crossing was far enough away), it’s worth noting. Most of the small Gold Rush era towns along I-80 have this issue, just be aware. We were thrilled with the experience and authenticity of it and will go again.

What a hidden gem, and such a value! And the Monte Vista restaurant a mile away is some of the best food I’ve ever had, from the New England clam chowder and crab cakes to the savory prime rib and the Carmel popcorn cheesecake!

We were going to be very late getting to the hotel and asked if that would be an issue with the self check in. The staffs response was absolutely not and since your coming in late we will turn the A/C on for you. The room was very pleasant when we arrived. As tired as we were, we took the time to take in all the old furniture and layout of the front lobby. We would definitely stay here again.
