Gold Miners Inn Grass Valley, an Ascend Collection Hotel

8/10 Good
"Hotel was great, largest TV we've ever had in a hotel room. Someone recommended the hotel so I did not look to see if they had a pool. They did not. Also love when a hotel has a nightly managers reception but their appetizers were chips and salsa, a little underwhelming. Staff was all great."

"Great place in the trees. Beautiful! Room was good. Just no counter space in the bathroom. Small. Could be different in other rooms. It was hot while we were there. So not having air conditioning in the room was rough. Hard to sleep. Even with windows open. Then we could hear the Highway. It would be better during cooler months. Having the restaurant on premises was very nice. And good food."
