We loved it! The modern upgrades were very pleasing, the room decor and the comfort of the bed were fantastic. The spacious lounge area on the second floor was very cool and it had access to the balcony looking over the main street. Lots of antique artifacts to enjoy throughout the building. The location could not have been better, right on Broad Street, chock full of great shops and restaurants. We opted not to eat in the restaurant, even though the decor was historical and really cool, the menu frankly did not look very exciting. We opted for a different restaurant around the corner, and then we came back and had a cocktail in the super cool bar. Do not miss the bar.

Every staff member provides superior service from check in, dining, filling ice buckets, check out, etc. The dining and bar were truly an experience that are memorable in the hopes to return to make more memories.

The National Exchange Hotel is a charming jewel in this historic and charming gold mining town of Nevada City. Obvious effort has been made to preserve the elegant feel of a fine hotel that benefitted from a very prosperous history.

We enjoyed the vintage vibes, the grand lounge, the patio, and the amazing dining experience at Lola’s. The food and drinks were excellent. There were some pet hairs on our bedding upon arrival. The bathroom faucet had a minor leak. There was no microwave on the premises. The nude artwork was offensive.

Fantastic restored hotel, friendly staff, gorgeous bar with excellent cocktails. Right in the main street of this beautiful old town. There are no elevators and lots of stairs so be prepared if you have mobility issues. No TVs for those who care… Lovely coffee and muffins every morning in the Grand Lobby.
