Very nice historical hotel and wonderful staff

We were in room 213 which is a really nice and spacious king suite over the hotel lobby. There aren't any bedrooms sharing a side wall with the room, but it does share a wall with the upstairs bar area and the common bathrooms. Pros: Spacious room with seating area with a couch and two nice chairs. Mini fridge, water kettle, 2 coffee cups and 2 water glasses. Huge shower with rain showerhead. Bed was quite cozy. AC worked well to quell the noise from the town at night. Dog friendly. Front desk was amazingly helpful. The downstairs restaurant has great food and craft cocktails. Veranda was a really nice feature. It was a great place for us to enjoy coffee or let the dogs out for some fresh air. Morning coffee & muffins in upstairs bar. Free parking. $10/day/credit for food Cons: No elevator. No room service or other 'resort like' amentities to justify the resort fee. No towels for the dogs, blankets, bowls, etc. Quiet time begins at 11PM and the upstairs bar area can be noisy until this time. Soundproof doors between the upstairs bar and the hallway that leads to our bedroom hallway would be great. Bar across the street closes at 2AM and was loud. Central vernada is accessible to ANYONE entering from the upstairs bar (hotel guests or not) Our first night, people sat out there talking loudly until about 10:45PM. Floors didn't feel clean. Veranda was a bit dusty and could use a hosing down or at least a sweep. In all a really nice place, but wish our room was a bit quieter.

Charming perfection in the heart of downtown

The hotel was charming and full of character which was wanted. It didn’t dissappoint from a comfort level either. The bed and pillows were so comfortable we had amazing sleep. The location of this hotel is perfection. You never have to drive unless you want to check out the state parks. Restaurants and bars and shops are steps from the main entrance.

Go-to get away!

I love this hotel! Been staying here since before the renovation! The staff are super sweet and the vibes are cozy and vintage. The rooms are quite nice - much better than your average hotel. The restaurant has great food and the bar is perfect. They also allow dogs. We love coming to Nevada City in all seasons and will continue to stay at the National.

Not what you’d expect.

I won’t go back. The room was in the back, by the back door that was very busy. Bed was small. Walls were thin. You have to get all the way into the shower to turn it on, hoping it won’t be to cold or to hot. And worst of all there was a blue light near the ceiling that kept strobing all night.
