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.
