Our stay was wonderful. The National Exchange Hotel is an historical treasure; it is updated without compromising its historical ambiance. Our room was clean, mattress was firm, water pressure was good, decor was a mix of antique and new. The garden-like back courtyard area is a wonderful place to enjoy morning muffins and coffee. We will stay there again.

Charming perfection in the heart of downtown

The hotel was charming and full of character which was wanted. It didn’t dissappoint from a comfort level either. The bed and pillows were so comfortable we had amazing sleep. The location of this hotel is perfection. You never have to drive unless you want to check out the state parks. Restaurants and bars and shops are steps from the main entrance.

Go-to get away!

I love this hotel! Been staying here since before the renovation! The staff are super sweet and the vibes are cozy and vintage. The rooms are quite nice - much better than your average hotel. The restaurant has great food and the bar is perfect. They also allow dogs. We love coming to Nevada City in all seasons and will continue to stay at the National.
