Great location for essentials shopping, dining and easy access to grass valley. Tamara is a great manager and the staff was absolutely fabulous. It was nice having the exercise room available 24/7 and the breakfast was a real meal. The room was clean and appeared to be recently upgraded, I rate it 5 Stars for a reasonably priced hotel.

There was a dirty diaper under one of the beds in my work and then crayons and other things under the other bed. My sheets were a little dirty and had some stains on them. I had a friend who stayed in another room and there was a huge hawaiian role that had been under the bed for who knows how long.
