This was our second time staying at the Sierra Mountain Inn. The staff is incredibly helpful and the room is comfy and entirely sufficient for a long weekend at the Yuba. Like many small hotels, there aren't a lot of bells and whistles, but for the price and proximity, it's all we needed. We'll be staying here again next time we're in Grass Valley!
I stayed at Sierra Mountain Inn for three nights and had a great experience. The stay was very comfortable, peaceful, and enjoyable from start to finish. The property was clean and well maintained, and the location was perfect for a relaxing getaway. Everything went smoothly during our stay, and the overall atmosphere made it feel very welcoming. I would definitely recommend Sierra Mountain Inn to anyone visiting the area and would happily stay here again!
Clean and functional room, mattress was hard and uncomfortable for sleeping. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay!

The staff was very nice. The parking was difficult because the area is so small. It's on the main road so the traffic and the air conditioner were noisy. Our room was very small but everything was clean and the bed was comfortable.
Front desk helped with key to check in after hours and assured me we had a good size room for our family of 3. Cute rustic cabin style stay with wood slated walls and parking right out front. View of huge gorgeous redwood tree in the parking area.
Front office was friendly and welcoming. Room was clean and well furnished with everything I needed.
Grounds looked lovely and location was as convenient as could be. I look forward to staying there again

We enjoyed everything about our stay: cozy, clean room, nice neighborhood, close proximity to downtown!
Cute little cottage like inn. I had the one queen room attached to the lobby. It had everything I needed. The check-in staff was very nice and I enjoyed my stay. The little kitchenette was great.
Very convenient location. Easy walk to downtown. Hotel was clean and staff was very friendly. Would stay again.

We found the stay at the motel to be quite enjoyable. We had a room with a queen bed in the main section of the room and another room with a 2nd queen bed. The room had everything that we needed. It is in walking distance to the downtown are with many shops and restaurants. This is a really good value.

Second stay here in two years. Still rated good; not the excellent review before. Property still has the comfortable, relaxing curb appeal. Same location less than a mile uphill from downtown Grass Valley. Front desk reception is quality and freindly as before. Room was clean annd quiet.. Three strikes are: 1) Outer lid of smoke detector was missing showing the roof insertion. 2) Tile in bathroom vanity was missing below sink, exposing wood across length. 3) Hotel has dropped broadcast TV channels. This is helpful for a traveler wishing to see local news and weather. Hotel provided mostly movies thru Netflix and several other apps.
