"I am 75 and have traveled far and wide and can think of no finer Inn that I have stayed in. We had a large room with a large enough balcony for a table with 4 chairs. the variety of buildings are two stories and there are no elevators so be advised. Lovely breakfast included, not the the standard Holiday Inn buffet but a real continental breakfast along with made to order omelets. Sorry that we couldn't stay an extra day. In downtown Grass Valley. Walk to everything."

"What a sweet place and a far cry from cookie-cutter low end motels. Beautiful location, nice rooms, and a very nice restaurant on premises. The motel is a project of a recovery program called Teen Challenge so it's a bonus to support them but the motel stands on its own as a 'find' off Highway 80. Highly recommended"
