lee, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The grounds are stunning, the room was comfortable, but somewhat outdated as half the electrical outlets didn’t work. I’d stay here again.
Janette, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Northern Queen has seemingly a huge number of rooms! So it’s usually available, a quick hop to the town less than a half mile, a nice welcoming staff, clean and quiet rooms, and a good setting. On top of that, it’s very reasonably priced. I would be happy to come again.
William, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful setting. Large rooms. Enjoyed the stay very much.
Christopher, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The. Chalet and patio were spacious. Lots of room for a very reasonable price! The kitchen had nothing to use for food prep or serving. Breakfast on the weekend was solid and the grounds were scenic. Would stay Again.

Roxann, 1-night trip

Carl, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Pricing is super reasonable for the area, and the place is just beautiful nestled in the trees! I wish I had the need to stay over in Grass Valley more, I would stay here all the time!

2/10 Poor

It was not clean at all we checked out and asked for a refund we were very unhappy but staff was understanding and nice
Jennifer, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Lovely grounds and super close to town - nice easy walk. Accommodation was perfectly acceptable for what I paid - rooms are looking a little tired and could do with a little update - no issues here. However, I arrived a 2.10pm, after a 3 hour drive and was informed check in was at 3pm - parking lot had 4 cars - hotel was empty. For 27 ish bucks I could check in right now - my room was ready to go I was informed. I declined and waited outside for 50 mins. For this reason alone I will never stay here again! Other than that - the overall stay was perfectly fine

Waterfall and walking trail were nice extra.

Great staffing
Jerome, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The cabin was a little run down. Cobwebs, fire place was broken, blinds were broken. It was clean but did smell a little musty when we first got in the room.
Aimee, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This property is so cute. We've stayed here several times. Close to Nevada City, quiet and even has cute nature trail to the railroad museum on the property. Some of the rooms are a little older but I see they are actively replacing furniture and updating rooms since we've first started coming here. For the price it's excellent.
Dannielle, 2-night trip

It was such a cute area!
Cherish, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

The experience from check-in set the stage for the rest of the visit. Had to wait in line only to be told twice that the room wasn't ready. So had to check in an hour late. There was only one person working at the desk which seems ridiculous on a holiday weekend. The room was old dated and musty. The towels were like a motel 6 towel. There was no blanket in the room to use on the bed in the winter weather. The shower was difficult to turn on and off. There was no coffee pot in the coffee maker. The couch was stained and lumpy and impossible to sit in without sinking in the middle.This is basically a motel 6 in a very beautiful setting. Good for somewhere just to lay your head. And it was quiet.

Room was good, comfortable for just one night.
