10/10 Excellent
"This place is a gem! Cool mid-century vibe with yellow single story buildings and brightly colored doors, clean rooms with retro fridge and microwave. Such a unique experience for our time in Auburn. Glenn was so welcoming upon check-in, and the morning coffee, bananas and muffins at the reception each morning were a treat. Unfortunately, we didn't have time to check out the adjacent bowling ally- next time. What a memorable stay- and they sell the logo mugs as a souvenir, too!"

"We loved the little scones and frittata every morning. We had been concerned that we would have to eat in the courtyard every day as we have a pup with us so we were pleased we could eat in the lobby where there was a table or sofas to sit at. Grass Valley is very dog friendly overall so it was easy to bring him with us to explore every day."
