Top Nevada City Hotel Reviews

Sierra Mountain Inn

Sierra Mountain Inn

8/10 Good
"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."
