This was our second time staying at the National and we absolutely love it. We stayed her last when we celebrated our wedding in 2023, just down the road at Stone House, and wanted to return to the place where we celebrated our special day! It's great having Lola and the Nash attached to the hotel, and it's dog friendly, which makes it so great to be able to bring our dog with us. The only challenge we had during this stay was that our fridge began leaking water out of nowhere, and we aren't sure if anyone came to tend to the problem after we called to let the front desk know. There was still water when we returned from our day out. Outside of that, everything was great and we look forward to coming back!
Beautifully restored hotel, its historical integrity preserved. On the main drag in Nevada City, convenient to all. Superb restaurant. Among the best fried chicken I've ever had. Tastefully decorated with period antiques. In place of a TV, an old radio which you can tune to local station. Plumbing is temperamental and bathroom cold (winter), but these are minor concerns.
Had a great stay!
Customer service was exceptional as was the comfort of the room and bed.
The restaurant was delicious and so was the surprise of banana muffins in the morning.
Parking was a nightmare on a holiday Friday night and there were a few minor things overlooked by housekeeping but nothing too major to deter from the overall pleasurable experience.
National Exchange is gem in gold county. The rooms are amazing, the restaurant is fantastic, and the bar is legendary. The entire experience is worth the stay, I found myself constantly surprised by the quality of everything. The service, the coffee, everything is great. I believe this hotel will get a 4th star rating in the years to come.
