Hotels near Malakoff Diggins State Historic Park

"This hotel is conveniently located to the hwy, downtown, and is safely walkable. I grew up in Grass Valley and was visiting family; I chose this hotel because it’s the perfect place to stay if you want a nice, practical, safe, clean place to stay. The parking is free and easy, check in was fast and the staff is welcoming, they offer coffee and breakfast in the early morning, the room is even set up in an efficient and useful manner. Shower had nice pressure, bed and linens were comfortable, and it was quiet despite being close to hwy. It’s older just like everything in town but it’s clean and feels cozy and nice. I’d stay again and recommend. "

"I LOVED my stay at the Pines and wish I could have stayed longer. Already planning another trip that way next summer and will for sure stay there again. Tony was nothing but hospitable and provided so many nice little touches to the service. He sent suggestions for places to eat, brought donuts in the morning and went around to each room in the evening with a little tea light for the porch. Having the outdoor space to hang out in was perfect and the room was comfortable, clean and the bed was super comfortable. While it is true that the location is just off a Main Street, the sound of any traffic wasn’t bothersome. Highly recommend!! "

"This is a recently renovated Gold Rush era hotel, very quaint and authentic. The rooms and bathrooms have been updated to modern standards which is nice, but have authentic period decor/antiques. The town is VERY small and cute, extremely quiet (in general) and a walkable historic self-guided tour. It makes a great base of operations for exploring the area. A couple of things to know: it is 3 story, but because of the age, there is no elevator (typical with Gold Rush era hotels). They have one room on the ground floor for ADA compliance. The town is so small that they don’t have any other businesses besides a small general store and post office, so you must drive to find anything else to do. As of this moment there is no restaurant or bar, but the hotel owner is working on that and says that pending permit approvals, should open their restaurant and bar this year. During the week, breakfast is just self-serve coffee and cereal, but they offer more on weekends. Despite it being so quiet, there is an active train track not far from the town and although we didn’t hear it (the road crossing was far enough away), it’s worth noting. Most of the small Gold Rush era towns along I-80 have this issue, just be aware. We were thrilled with the experience and authenticity of it and will go again. "

"Great place, nice restaurant attached to hotel. Very peaceful and serene place. Very nice place to stay for a night or two, really good place. "

"This is the second time we stayed here and really enjoy the stream, the patio, the area and Priya is a delight! We were here on July 4th and didn't hear one firework go off all night! What a nice escape from the Bay Area. Thank you!"

"Great place! "
