Super nice staff/owner even at a late night check in. Everything was easy and really liked the room. Much better than the photos. He says he's redoing them. Highly recommend, I will be back.
Quick and easy check in. Nice clean room. Parking right in front. Within walking distance to Mill St and restaurants. I liked that they had a water dispenser in reception area to refill water bottles.
The room and staff were very nice, quiet sleep on a comfortable bed and nice amenities. However, I had no internet for 5 days. It was knocked out by a light rainstorm and they couldn't get it fixed. I was there on business, so that was highly inconvenient. But if you are there on vacation, it's very convenient to downtown, nice refurbished property, every room is slightly different, cozy and aesthically pleasing.
Room was extremely clean and comfortable, and it was very easy to check in, the lady at the front desk was extremely nice. It was an easy walk to everything we wanted to do downtown, and I will definitely stay here again when we're in the area
The cottage at Sierra Mountain Inn was great for us. We were traveling with our retriever, and the surrounding garden provided a peaceful area to walk her. There were also great dog walking options nearby. It was also convenient to nearby dining options on Main Street, the tables in the garden allowed us to have takeout there.
This was a lovely property in the cutest town. Everyone working there was helpful and kind. The inn is very cute. The room we had was clean, spacious, and nice. They were communicative from beginning through the stay to the end. If I had to choose anything to improve, it would be the mattress (time for a new one), and the initial cleanliness of the shower. Not exactly sure what happened there, but when we asked for room cleaning service, and we returned, the shower was exceptionally clean. We would not hesitate to stay there again if we were in the area!
This was very pleasant a great change from the chain hotels. Short 7 minute walk into the lovely town of Grass Valley. The accommodation was comfortable and homie.
