We stopped in to the National Hotel to see if we could view a room for a future stay option. Our first impression… turn and RUN! The National Hotel appears to be held together with duct tape, plastic tarps and 1970’s wood paneling. What a dump. The carpets were old and buckled from wear. There’s no way we would walk... More

Rented a suite ($140) for the Mardi Gras festival. Was told by management on day of festival that we could not use the balcony. That was the whole reason we rented the room, which was disgusting. Heat comes on sporadically and makes more noise than the groaning frog living in the gutter outside the broken bedroom window. The bed is... More

We had dinner in the restaurant the week before Christmas. The restaurant was empty due to Grass Valley having a street fair. The service was great and the food was pretty good. The prime rib was cooked just as I like it to be cooked. There were five of us and everyone enjoyed what they ordered. There was an older... More

Horribly raw meat in hamburger that the bartender should have comped it was sooooo bad...My parents lived in Grass Valley from 1972 to 1999 and I have had many, many wonderful experiences here, so the return was purely nostalgic...It should have been a clue that we were the only ones there to eat, and only a few bar flies were...

During our visit we had to visit one of the local historic places for an adult libation and a snack and found ourselves in the bar at the National Hotel. Despite previous reviews we found the bartender friendly and accommodating. We were only there to catch a quick drink and have a shared meal and then continue on our quest... More

the bar was horrible, the staff looks like they were two breath away from a heart attack! They favor the regulars. 1 of the bartender said she was not going to make a Bloody Mary (twice) because she didn't want to! I asked the bartender for a jack an coke..she looked at me like i was stupid.. back to the... More

We only stayed one night and that was enough, wall paper torn, someone had vomited on our balcony it was not cleaned up. We had a drink in the bar the leg on the chair I was sitting on fell off the waitress was very upset still it was not good. I would say avoid this hotel very dirty and... More

I just spent 2 days in the old California gold rush. Well it felt like it. Old victorian furnishing everwhere with a great veranda over Broad Street. The bar is a real rush of the 49ers who it was built for. You have to be aware that this is a very old hotel and not perfect. But if you want... More

This hotel, we were told one of the oldest in USA, is worth a visit due to its charm. Nothing much has been done to it since it was new. Well, when color-tv was invented and AC was invented, they got them! Since then, nothing has happen! The room we stayed in was small and not nice, but still! We... More
