Let me start by saying, The holiday lodge was my home away from home when we would come visit Nevada city. Unfortunately with this last stay my home turned into an extended stay third world lodge. First the vanity lighting in the bathroom did not work , then we found a baseball size blood stain on are sheets, then to top it off the bed and pillows were so out dated. I’ve stayed in many of hotel rooms, but by far this is the worst and most uncomfortable room my wife and I have ever stayed. I Don’t usually write reviews. But for the price of the room the standard was far from being met. Honestly not even close. I will never pay to be UNCOMFORTABLE at THE HOLIDAY LODGE EVER AGAIN… I had good memories but this last stay really showed the LACK of CARE and PASSION for the once well respected lodge.

I was a bit concerned when i pulled in because there was only one other vechicle in the parking lot. But once I saw the room i relaxed. It was clean and had everything I needed. The lot eventualy filled up in the evening.

Water not hot enough for a shower

We didn't need much, just a clean, basic place to stay. It was clean enough, and quiet. But after the water ran for a LONG time it got barely lukewarm, and never hotter than that.

I reserved for 3 people, we only had 2 towels. The hotel charged me an additional $35.00, we were out if there by 11:05am. Why would I have an additional charge beyond the amount already paid. The lady at ck in did not indicate an additional charge.
