We found the stay at the motel to be quite enjoyable. We had a room with a queen bed in the main section of the room and another room with a 2nd queen bed. The room had everything that we needed. It is in walking distance to the downtown are with many shops and restaurants. This is a really good value.

We had the quaint 2 bedroom family room. The place was a nice surprise clise to downtown. We had a comfortable sofa, dining table with chairs, as well as a couple of counter stools at the kitchenette. It was equipped with glasses, cups, bowls, dishes, flatware, a toaster, coffee machine, electric kettle, microwave and mini fridge. Beds were comfortable. Bathroom was clean. Would definitely return.

This place is a basic motel, clean and serviceable for an overnight stay, but not very pleasant to hang out in. It does not look as nice as the photos online. The desk staff was friendly. The positives are that the location in Grass Valley is convenient and the price is very reasonable compared to many of the lodgings in the Grass Valley/Nevada City area.
