Overall it was a great experience. The hotel is in a great location, although parking is a lottery. The room itself was lovely but stuffy and the air conditioning was not helpful. It was also in the back building and a little awkward to access. The continental breakfast was generous and the staff was friendly and welcoming. This is my second stay and I would stay again.

Nice Hotel, Rich history, good drinks, and friendly staff. Breakfast was coffee, tea, water and a small pastry. No fruit,juice, cereal. After 9 am there was a hot egg dish that was really good. The coffee was strong and fresh. A two item continental breakfast, With such a nice hotel I was disappointed, considering that they charged $20.00 for the amenities. I would recommend this Hotel. It had zero musty smell for such an old building. Very clean and well kept. Parking was tight for a Sunday arrival.

The hotel decor was perfect for the historical aesthetic and the room, itself, was comfortable. However, it was at the back of the hotel right next to the outside generator which hummed all night long. The morning coffee was weak and cold and the scones and fritatta were inedible. They consider the \"free\" breakfast as an amenity but you pay for it as part of the \"resort fee\". Aside from that, the service was very good and the food in the restaurant was quite good, as well.

The bar was very well stocked and had anything one would want. I was disappointed that this time on Taco Tuesday, they were unable to make me a vegetarian taco like they did last time. I went looking forward to it, and went without dinner. :-/ Luckily, I brought a few snacks. The scones and frittata at breakfast were very nice! Parking is hit or miss. I suggested they give guests a pass to put in their window to prevent non-guests from using the lot. Next time, I'll arrive well before check-in to see if I can get a spot.

It is hard to imagine a better hotel to stay in for your Gold Country vacation. This is a historic property in the heart of old Grass Valley. The property is very well kept up - possibly even beyond its original splendor. The on site restaurant is probably the best in the area - - we tried several, but none were as good as The Golden Gate Saloon (full bar, lunch and dinner). A reasonable free continental breakfast was served buffet style in the morning. Because it is a historic property, you wont find things like swimming pools here - - but that's no big deal, there are lots of opportunities for swimming on the Yuba River and local lakes - - in fact, I'd rather be in that natural setting for a swim. There is also a fine public pool in Grass Valley at Memorial Park. Downside issues: We were always able to find parking in the hotel's parking lot, but it was sometimes tight. Getting ice is a bit of a hassle - - there is no direct access to an ice machine, one must ask for ice at the kitchen door of the restaurant. There is no in-room coffee, but there is free coffee available in the morning in the downstairs continental breakfast. And this one is personal to me and may not apply to you: the mattress on the bed was too firm for me, causing me to have some modest pain in my hips after three days of sleeping on it. I'd still go back to this hotel.

Loved our stay at the Holbrooke Hotel. Highly recommend.

Pros: Our room was clean, comfortable and simple, across from restaurant / bar; Food and libations at the GoldenGate was exceptional; service at both hotel and restaurant was outstanding. Frittata, scones and coffee were fresh and delicious the morning of departure.

Cons: Walls are thin and you can hear your neighbors in the hallway. No closet, no dresser, no wine glasses, no robes, no TV in room; although, you can request most of these items from the front desk at no additional charge.

I had been wanting to check out this historic hotel for a long time, and I am so glad we did. Everything from the check-in process, to the restaurant food and the rooms was absolutely perfect. It is such a charming property with great amenities. They have done an amazing job of preserving this property. Every finish, fixture, piece of furniture and artwork is so perfectly curated to reflect the history of the town and hotel. But what really stood out was the staff! I had to leave very early for work after my stay, and they went out of their way to prepare coffee and fresh baked scones for us ahead of their normal schedule. It was such a great stay! Thank you to the amazing, thoughtful staff. We will be back!

Parking says guest parking only but we couldn’t find parking in the lot during the day and once we had a spot felt like we couldn’t leave or we wouldn’t have a spot when we returned, in the evening half the lot was empty leads me to believe anyone can and does park in the hotel “guest” parking during the day. The bathtub/shower tipped back and forth like a seesaw while taking a shower. They charge $20 “amenities fee” but there are no amenities to speak of. Restaurant couldn’t get a burger order correct.

The complementary breakfast was delicious, and the the vibe and bluegrass music in the \"Saloon\" was so fun and lively. Also, Kim, who greeted us at the front desk, is such a helpful, delightful person.

We stayed at the Holbrooke for a birthday/Valentines getaway weekend and were thoroughly impressed by the service and the amenities! The tasting menu special dinner course was phenomenal and one of the best meals we’ve ever experienced. The ambience of the hotel and the local area was so charming and unique. The only minor hiccup we had was the original room we were placed in was right next to a side exit door that slammed very loudly whenever someone entered or exited. Because of that, we slept very poorly the first night due to guests going in and out at all hours. When we asked the front desk the next morning if there was any possibility to change rooms, we were at first told the hotel was fully booked so they were unable to move us. We asked once more after dinner if there was anything they could do and that time we were told they actually did have another room, but it was an upgrade from our current room and we would have to pay the difference in price. We were admittedly a bit disappointed to have to pay to change rooms, especially after the front desk disclosed they hear the complaint about the slamming door fairly often from guests placed near it. But upon checking out, we were very pleasantly surprised to hear we would actually not be charged for the room change so we have zero complaints overall! We will definitely come back and stay at the Holbrooke again! Thank you for an amazing experience and the wonderful service!

There was no bar. No closet. No place to store clothing. The room was tiny. The sink was at the foot of the bed, not in the bathroom. When we checked in, I happily mentioned that I was familiar with the hotel as I had several very nice previous stays, and Kim, the receptionist said, “we don’t know who you are and we don’t keep track of who stays here.” This was on Christmas Day! The next day, it was raining heavily, and when I asked for a hotel umbrella, another receptionist told me they don’t have umbrellas “because people would steal them.” Hello, here’s a missed marketing opportunity and a guest insult all at once. My daughter owns a ranch in Penn Valley and I live in France, until this visit, the Holbrooke was my go to place to stay when I visit. Not anymore.

Not a whole lot to do in GV, but we stayed at the Holbrooke as my wife is a fan of anything paranormal. The hotel is immaculate, well-kept, and worth staying at. The only downside to GV is that everything closes early. 9 PM is the last call for dinner on a Friday night, and we ended up with pizza, which was very good. There are a few bars that stay open later. Funny thing, our room had an old radio on a table. After check-in, when we got to the room, I turned on a radio that was on a table and tried to tune to any station, and all I heard was static. We went out and returned to our room at about 1 AM. When we opened the door, the radio was playing like old 1920s music, clear. Also, there is a tall dresser with four books on it. In the morning, one of the books was pulled out. We will stay there again.

Don’t stay in room 22

The historical ambiance and restaurant/bar here is wonderful but we were given what has to qualify as the worst room to stay in. We got room 22 in the carriage house which is right inside the front door and the windows overlook directly onto the front porch where people sit and gather. If not for the curtains we would be on full view - and the curtains didn’t fully cover the entire window so we had to be creative to keep it covered completely. The front door did not close softly and we heard slams throughout the early morning and late evening from the other guests coming and going. We were not getting a good nights sleep so decided to leave a day early after being there for 3 nights. Unfortunately due to their policy, we got no refund for that last night so they were able to make double on it I’m sure, with a replacement guest.
