I would still recommend this hotel, just be aware that they do not do room service unless you are there 3 nights and every 3 nights from then on. Staff was nice and helpful and breakfast was a full breakfast that was decent, great waffles though. I just think that it got boring after 2 days because it was all the same stuff. although there was some variety. My only complaint would be that it was very hard to get towels, toilet paper and trash liners from housekeeping. Mostly had to ask several times and end up hunting them down to get what was needed. Staff was friendly and mostly helpful, room was clean especially the beds, however beds were way to firm for me. Weekend price I believe is to much, but weekday prices are OK, just be aware that prices change by the second so if you see a good deal jump on it quickly. :)

My son was getting married nearby and my family rented a total of 6 rooms. We were all pleased with the good quality of the motel (some Best Westerns aren't so great). The rooms had been refurbished fairly recently and were clean. The extensive grounds of the motel were nicely maintained. The breakfast was hot and tasty. We would come again.

Overall this place is adequate. The staff were friendly and the breakfast was good. For the price, however, the value isn't great. There is a fair amount of noise from the nearby freeway. The wall unit heater/fan is very loud. The furniture is somewhat worn out. Nothing egregious, but not worth the $160.00/night that I paid. Overall, it has a lower-cost budget motel vibe with the price of a more expensive chain hotel. Accross the street there were people sleeping in old cars and bombed-out RVs. Grass Valley is going downhill in general. At the gas station I saw a meth addict yelling at the gas pump. That isn't the fault of the Best Western, but the general feeling in the area is one of decline and desperation. The lodging options aren't great unless you want to spend well north of $200 dollars/night.

I recently stayed at this poorly run hotel. I should have left when they told me the pool was closed, they were pre-bagging breakfast with egg burritos and that they didn’t have a deluxe room for me but were charging me full price anyway! I understand Covid prevents them from serving a full buffet breakfast but the grab and go food was kept on a counter for hours at a temperature that was not safe for consumption. I understand the pool being closed but other hotels allowed people to reserve time in the pool to avoid covid spreading, why was the spa running all day if the pool was closed? Why not drain it? I understand they didn’t have a deluxe room but why did they charge me for it anyway! Then the next morning the hotel had a water leak and we didn’t get showers and couldn’t flush the toilet. Additionally the owner stated they would give me a discount and didn’t. Don’t let the name fool you like it did me! This best western is not run by the company! This is an independently owned hotel that is gouging people who want to flee the city during covid for a little peace on the river and they could care less if their hotel is clean, or that patrons experience issues with basic services like a running shower. Next time I will just camp out by the dumpster with the homeless people who seem to live there as well..,,
Worst western!

This was one of the dirtiest hotels we have ever stayed in. And we only stayed here because options were limited. The outside needs to be pressure washed, garbage picked up, and repainted (with some care). There were beer cans in the bushes and TONS of cigarette butts all over. Pretty gross. The room next to ours had something splattered on the door that looked possibly like vomit.
The carpet in our room was absolutely disgusting. There were huge cobwebs in the corners. The sheets were dingy. The bathroom must have been painted by a blind person. And then to top it all off, no coffee maker in the room. We went to the lobby for coffee and they didn’t have any either. This was pretty disappointing all around and Best Western should really put the owner of this hotel on notice. It is a a real disservice to the brand.

When we returned to the hotel after a long day, we noticed several people sleeping in their vehicles. At 4am, we received a call from an outside line, asking for the wifi password to the hotel. We suspect that someone sleeping in one of the cars was attempting to connect. We did notice at check-in, a security vehicle was on property, however, we did not see this vehicle drive around the property. We felt the need to constantly check our car to make sure nothing had happened to it. The other thing that made us a little unhappy was that we had booked a room with 1 king bed and a sofa (their deluxe king). When we checked in, the agent was nice and friendly, and advised that they had A room ready, but did not mention it was not the same room type that we had booked. Our son had to sleep with another family member at a different hotel (as they happened to have an extra bed.) The lobby and room were clean, however we did find 2 used condoms outside of our door the morning we were checking out.

This is an old, old 1 star motel without daily housekeeping services. You'll need good pantomime skills to get fresh towels from the non-English speaking front desk employees. For $200+ (average) per night you should be able to get a nicer place with real service.

My partner and I just stayed here (06/2021) and had a great time. The location is excellent, right near the highway and about 5-7 minutes from the downtown areas of Grass Valley and Nevada City. Directly across the street is a CVS and Safeway so anything you need for your room is super accessible (stock up on water to put in the mini fridge if you're coming in the summer!)

We looked at several hotels in the area and are so pleased we picked the Best Western. It's an excellent value compared to the more boutiquey hotels, plus a frosty AC, endless ice, a great shower, and cable. After a day of hiking or walking around town, it was the perfect respite from the heat wave. We were able to stay longer and have more time in the towns because of the price too! Plus the staff was nice and it was pretty quiet, even given its proximity to the highway.

We loved our time here, thank you!

ugh. TACO king bed, air conditioner as loud as a diesel truck passing you on a freeway, ANTS in the bathroom sink! Staff was friendly. bagged breakfast with complementary breakfast burrito the first day, they ran out the second day, bagels with cream cheese, yogurt muffin, water and coffee. Used the gym and that was good

The most despicable and appalling treatment I’ve ever received from a hotel. We booked our room several weeks in advance and confirmed it the night before we arrived, only to have the hotel “cancel” our reservation without telling us and deny us our room when we arrived, telling us they were full and kicking us (a family of 4 with 2 young kids) out in the street with no accommodation at 6 pm on a busy summer weekend. We scrambled to find another hotel in the area and were only able to do so at more than twice the price. The front desk clerk was beyond rude, telling us it was not her problem that they gave away our room, refusing to accommodate us in any way, and telling us that there was no manager or acting manager we could talk to. Then, to add insult to injury, the hotel had the gall to bill our credit card for the room they didn’t let us stay in (we’re of course fighting that charge, but it’s not yet resolved). Something is seriously rotten in the management of this place, and I would avoid it at all costs if you can.
