We loved the room. It was nicely decorated with antiques. The bed was soft yet firm, the sheets were silky smooth and cool. The Grand lounge was beautiful, like something out of a movie set but not unapproachable. We hung out there.

Our stay was wonderful. The National Exchange Hotel is an historical treasure; it is updated without compromising its historical ambiance. Our room was clean, mattress was firm, water pressure was good, decor was a mix of antique and new. The garden-like back courtyard area is a wonderful place to enjoy morning muffins and coffee. We will stay there again.

The authenticity of this hotel and Nevada City itself brings you back in time. You feel like a wealthy person from the 1800s. Impeccably clean and well-appointed with all the comforts of a modern hotel, including robes. The sometimes crooked floors and steps, the huge moldings and wainscoting, the winding passages, and the antique furnishings add authentic historical charm. I think it might be haunted, but in a good way. Finally, the huge second story balcony overlooking Broad Street was the perfect spot to relax in the afternoon with a glass of wine.

I have breathing issues and when they saw that the third floor was to steep for me to go up, they switched my room to another floor immediately. I greatly appreciate the lady name Jenna that was so thoughtful in helping me with my bags an room change.

Very nice historical hotel and wonderful staff

We were in room 213 which is a really nice and spacious king suite over the hotel lobby. There aren't any bedrooms sharing a side wall with the room, but it does share a wall with the upstairs bar area and the common bathrooms. Pros: Spacious room with seating area with a couch and two nice chairs. Mini fridge, water kettle, 2 coffee cups and 2 water glasses. Huge shower with rain showerhead. Bed was quite cozy. AC worked well to quell the noise from the town at night. Dog friendly. Front desk was amazingly helpful. The downstairs restaurant has great food and craft cocktails. Veranda was a really nice feature. It was a great place for us to enjoy coffee or let the dogs out for some fresh air. Morning coffee & muffins in upstairs bar. Free parking. $10/day/credit for food Cons: No elevator. No room service or other 'resort like' amentities to justify the resort fee. No towels for the dogs, blankets, bowls, etc. Quiet time begins at 11PM and the upstairs bar area can be noisy until this time. Soundproof doors between the upstairs bar and the hallway that leads to our bedroom hallway would be great. Bar across the street closes at 2AM and was loud. Central vernada is accessible to ANYONE entering from the upstairs bar (hotel guests or not) Our first night, people sat out there talking loudly until about 10:45PM. Floors didn't feel clean. Veranda was a bit dusty and could use a hosing down or at least a sweep. In all a really nice place, but wish our room was a bit quieter.
