Very unique building. Very old but recent remodel made it quite charming. The room was fantastic, the outdoor patio area 2nd floor was great. Had dinner and breakfast in the restaurant and was quite good. Highly recommend

This was such a fun hotel! Great food, wonderful location… Everyone was very nice. This is my kind of place. So much history. It really has a vibe. The shower is awesome too!
We enjoyed the vintage vibes, the grand lounge, the patio, and the amazing dining experience at Lola’s. The food and drinks were excellent.
There were some pet hairs on our bedding upon arrival. The bathroom faucet had a minor leak. There was no microwave on the premises. The nude artwork was offensive.
Fantastic restored hotel, friendly staff, gorgeous bar with excellent cocktails. Right in the main street of this beautiful old town. There are no elevators and lots of stairs so be prepared if you have mobility issues. No TVs for those who care…
Lovely coffee and muffins every morning in the Grand Lobby.
Remodeled historic hotel. The rooms were small but clean. Just a little noisy from the road and the room above us. The balcony was our favorite place to hang out. Off season prices were about average. My wife and I have been coming to Nevada City for almost 50 years. This is the first time staying at the National. Check 1 off our bucket list.
The hotel is gorgeous! Their service was great, the room was clean and so pretty. The bed was really comfortable. I definitely recommend for anyone who live historical buildings.
