Fodor's Expert Review Gold Miners Inn

Just off Highway 49 and superbly run, this Ascend Collection property provides a comfortable experience, with art and artifacts reflecting the area's mining heritage gracing public areas and guest rooms. All the rooms are equipped with microwaves, refrigerators, Keurig coffee makers, and flat-screen TVs. Accommodations in the Grass Valley Suites category, good for families or other small groups, contain these amenities plus sleeper sofas and wet bars. A generous full buffet breakfast is served in the lobby.
