Welcome to Nevada City Inn
Nevada City Inn presents a charming and authentic lodging experience nestled in the scenic town of Nevada City, California. This modest, family-run inn stands out for its warm, welcoming atmosphere orchestrated by two diligent proprietors who pour genuine care into maintaining the property. The inn's location at 760 Zion Street offers convenient access to downtown Nevada City’s historic district, just a mile away, and the natural allure of Malakoff Diggins State Historic Park is within an eight-mile radius, making it an ideal base for travelers seeking both culture and outdoor exploration.
Despite its modest 2.9-star rating, the inn shines through its thoughtful amenities and the unique, homey layout of its guest rooms. Each room features a fully equipped kitchen, allowing guests the freedom and comfort to prepare meals on their own.

The accommodation is tailored primarily for solo travelers or pairs, delivering an intimate and affordable stay without unnecessary frills.
Guests benefit from free Wi-Fi, complimentary breakfast, and free parking, enhancing the overall value. Though the inn lacks luxuries like a fitness center, restaurant, or airport shuttle, it compensates by being pet-friendly and kid-friendly, embodying a true home-away-from-home. Its air-conditioned rooms further offer comfort in a picturesque, park-like setting off State Highway 20, inviting guests to relax and recharge.
In sum, Nevada City Inn embraces simplicity and sincerity. Its essence is found not in opulence but in genuine hospitality, cleanliness, and a thoughtfully personalized guest experience.

I really love this hotel. It's a very well-orchestrated "ma & pa" type hotel run by two really nice hard working dudes. The rooms are always clean and in good shape despite the 'short' staff and their layouts are very unique and homely. The rooms that I've stayed in are perfect for a solo person or 2 travelers and very affordable, which is always helpful for working people or travelers that want to enjoy this beautiful area of Earth on a budget. The staff are nonstop working to ensure a good stay for you and yours and do not hesitate to ask for extra towels or some ice on a hot day they will have no problems doing whatever you might require. My biggest gripe, if you can call it that, is that the check-in computer is older than my '04 Honda and doesn't always work perfectly, but rest assured the lads know how to work it so there's no glitches. An easy 5 in my book, these guys work hard to keep it really nice.
