They told me when I checked in that I would get room service every 3 days. I did not get any room service the whole week that I stayed.

So, first off, I slept well and the place was quiet. The staff was kind. The place looked great from the outside. It was also close to the downtown area, which was nice. Our room smelled. It smelled like smoke and smelled like old funk. To be fair, the staff did offer another room but we had already settled in and were very tired from a 12 hour drive. We stayed two nights and it always smelled. Also, it wasnt super clean. There were stains on some of the walls and ceilings. The bedding was clean. There are some chairs in our room that should be tossed. They're gross. We planned to swim as it was very hot but they said the pool was being repaired or renovated. It didnt say this when we booked the room and we should have been offered at least a discount or somthing for that but weren't. We were disappointed with that. The AC was good, though it smelled at first. The water pressure in the shower was good and the water nice and hot. Overall, it's not the worst place but it definitely could use a major remodel. But if they can't afford that, they should definitely take the time to deep clean their rooms. The previous hotel we stayed at was similarly old but it was so clean, it immediately made a great impression. Disappointed by the pool issue. You pay for the room and the amenities. It feels a bit like a bait and switch.

We were really surprised at how uncomfortable the pullout couch was. Not to mention it was incredibly dirty. There was even a cigarette butt under the couch which we discovered when pulling out the bed. The main office for checkin also smelled like an ash tray.

Bed was bad

The cabin was awesome. We loved the balcony the most. However, the was supposed to be a queen size but felt like a double. Also the bed was just awful. Everytime one of us moved the other bounced on it which kept us up most of the night.

Unfortunately, The Northern Queen has fallen into disrepair. I stayed in a chalet and it was nasty—there were gross stains on the couch, the carpet felt so dirty I didn’t even want to go barefoot, the whole place smelled of old cigarettes, the walls were dirty, the upstairs bathroom door barely closed, the deck was falling apart. The staff were apologetic and sweet, but the place was awful.

It was quiet around which was nice! Had a nice balcony with a good view! Wish there was a store on site, but it was ok it was nice to go out and see the area. Ended up at the Nevada City Farmers Market! Room was a little musty but once we open the doors and windows we got some nice fresh air in! I’d definitely stay again!!

Yeah.....No.

Got there 20 min early. Made us sit in front of them at the desk for 20 min because if they checked us in "they'd have to charge extra". Ok. Maybe it's a computer thing. Room was gross. Stains of who knows what everywhere. Couch, chairs, carpet, walls. I don't even want to know what it was. Molding hanging off counters. Sliding glass door off rails. Smelled like cat piss and cleaner. So I guess someone tried at some point. Patches holes in walls with random paint colors over them. Like I don't even know what they're doing with this place. Not a single thing about it was acceptable except the staff were pleasant. Oh also the garbage truck bouncing the dumpsters around the parking lot at 7am was a nice touch.

Nice bed

The bed was comfortable. I have a lot of back pain so that’s always a bonus for me. The only problem was the bathroom window didn’t lock. The area felt safe but still it made me uncomfortable to leave my stuff the room. Besides that everything was clean. and I would definitely stay there again.
