Top Alta Hotel Reviews

Holbrooke Hotel

8/10 Good

"Hotel was beautifully appointed and extremely well situated so that we could walk to our concert, restaurants and a museum. Our room was in a separate building on the ground floor. Unfortunately, it was the first room next to the front door to that building and I could hear people going in and out. I could also hear noises from other rooms, including someone's alarm in the early morning. The king size bed was extremely comfortable. Delicious breakfast included."

Northern Queen Inn

8/10 Good

"Nice setting. Restaurnt not open/limited on site amenities"

Best Western Colfax

8/10 Good

"Our room had dirty sheets, the clerk immediately gave us a new room. Breakfast was not good"

Grass Valley Courtyard Suites

8/10 Good

"The hotel was quite cute. Remind you of a Hallmark movie we had trouble with the toilet, not flushing. They did try to fix it, but there’s no maintenance stuff till the next day could not take a bath or shower because the water was very brown. Kind of disappointing. We just managed through it. The rooms were quite clean and very nice. Breakfast was very good and the staff was amazing. We would definitely probably stay there again if we’re ever up in that area."

Best Western Gold Country Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay here. The best part was Tina at the front desk. There was a mistake made and she called me right to get it straightened out. Very sweet and helpful with everything. This place is very clean and the staff are wonderful. This place has all the convenient places around you. If you love bagles go to Bubbas Bagles right next door. They are the best."
