This was our second time staying at the Sierra Mountain Inn. The staff is incredibly helpful and the room is comfy and entirely sufficient for a long weekend at the Yuba. Like many small hotels, there aren't a lot of bells and whistles, but for the price and proximity, it's all we needed. We'll be staying here again next time we're in Grass Valley!

The staff was very nice. The parking was difficult because the area is so small. It's on the main road so the traffic and the air conditioner were noisy. Our room was very small but everything was clean and the bed was comfortable.

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.

Second stay here in two years. Still rated good; not the excellent review before. Property still has the comfortable, relaxing curb appeal. Same location less than a mile uphill from downtown Grass Valley. Front desk reception is quality and freindly as before. Room was clean annd quiet.. Three strikes are: 1) Outer lid of smoke detector was missing showing the roof insertion. 2) Tile in bathroom vanity was missing below sink, exposing wood across length. 3) Hotel has dropped broadcast TV channels. This is helpful for a traveler wishing to see local news and weather. Hotel provided mostly movies thru Netflix and several other apps.
