Stage Coach Motel

If I could give negative stars I would. The most disgusting, disturbing, shady and unpleasant booking I have ever made. I was forced to stay for one night because everything else in town was booked. The next morning when we brought the bugs, yellow towels, tobacco smell and noise to the mangers attention she (her name is «Net» like fishing net?) tried to refuse to not charge us for the entire weekend. The woman is delusional. This is a low class, drug fiend infested stain on the map. STAY AWAY!!!

Lol. I slept in my sleeping bag on top of the comforter. I’ll post shower pics tomorrow morning. I’ve removed my shoes and I’m afraid to step on the tile barefoot.

Oh my god, this place is a shit hole. I booked a room because I had a wedding to attend. This was the only place with availability. Now I know why… The place has suffered years of neglect and it was just plain disgusting. Stains on the carpet, holes in the walls, the smell of the room, broken screen on window, electrical hazards, it goes on and on. Like a previous review said, free would be overpriced. I complained about the condition of the room once I returned from the wedding and the kid at the desk had no authority to refund my money so I returned the room key and left. Granted the girl at the desk who checked me in was really nice, it doesn’t make up for the fact that this place is a dump, DO NOT STAY HERE.

I had to book a room for a wedding. I search the entire town and this place was the only place that had availability. Now I know why. It is disgusting. Surrounded by tweakers. The room has suffered years of abuse and neglect. The girl at the front counter was nice. Everything else is horrible if you have another option use it.

If you are looking to stay in a hotel that is full of access to crank and/​or meth and are in Grass Valley than this is the place for you. Featuring heavily stained 30 year old carpeting, missing plate covers for plugs, the ever present odor of cigarettes with a hearty dash of butthole and near impossible to open shampoo and soap. They wasted no expense when it comes to towels, they really help shed all of that extra skin you have when you get out of the shower since they appear to have been made with pumice stone weaved into the fabric. Never stay here, ever. There was no where else to stay when I made the decision to book this room, in retrospect I would have just slept in my car or outside or just on the street.

Folks, if you’re smart enough to research your accommodations online, you don’t deserve to stay in a place this disgusting. Free would be overpriced. Dried blood on the towels, boogers on the walls, and the Jackson Pollock sheets made me go buy some new ones just to make it through the night. I tried to go elsewhere but I was stuck due to multiple weddings in town. Not a single room available anywhere else.
Guys, it’s really, really bad. The girl at the front desk was nice and the mandatory one star is for her.
This place is so dirty and gross that it’s actually humorous. I’m amazed they keep the place solvent.
Bottom line, don’t get a room here. Sleep under the overpass a couple blocks down the way. It will at least be cleaner!

A quaint little place, could have been a bit better maintained, the walls are a bit thin too. It’s within walking distance of the downtown district of Grass Valley. The shower was a bit finicky and there was not very many towels either. But overall, not half bad, but I would definitely not stay there more than 1 night.

After reading the reviews I figured I would give the benefit of doubt and I booked a room. It turns out the reviews truly are pretty accurate. First when we pulled in the office was closed with a note giving instructions to drive a half mile away to another hotel to check in and get keys. Once back to our room, I always check for clean sheets, maybe a bit ADD and found them to have visible stains. Checking the edge of the bed after that, several condoms (unused thank goodness) fell out of the mattress pad. There was a visible pair of dirty socks under the bed and the mini fridge had leftover ice cream in the freezer from the previous tenants. I guess sometimes the review process is 100% right and on this location that is the case. I will never be back.

This place is terrible! Avoid at all costs. I have to walk by it on a regular basis and have witnessed it going downhill for a long time. I don’t like getting too close because of the bad smell you get from some of the rooms– that, and the shady characters I constantly see hanging out in front.
Unfortunately, some of my out-​of-​town family rented a room there last year before they asked us where to stay. They later told us they would never stay there again– the biggest reason they mentioned was the bed smell. I wish I could have warned them sooner.

Beyond awful, I want my money back. DO NOT STAY HERE. After 2 nights, I have flea bites on my legs. The fridge was leaking water on the carpet, carpet wet and smelling of mold, exposed electrical wiring, no light bulbs in 3 of the lights, shower sounded a alarm system when switched on. A dirty chair that looked like rats had chewed on it. Oh… saved the best for last, human shit on the bedskirt. Absolutely disgusting. Dirty towels, not replaced by housekeeping. Grass Valley should shut this dump down. oh yeah — air conditioning went from 5 to 1 in within a 5 min period! This place is yik, yik.

Stay away! This motel is a dirty cess pit. Nothing but crackheads and vagrants, drunks, drug users, drug deals and fights. The place is a filthy mess, rooms are filthy, this palce should be shut down for health reasons alone. DO NOT STAY HERE! This place should be shut down by the health department and the police!

If broken doors and loud crackhead vagrants are your thing then this is the place for you. If not, go elsewhere.
Awful, sketchy establishment. Booked a room online; found out when we got there that the door to our room didn’t properly close. When we reported this to the lady at the front desk, she was like, yeah, that door got broken a while back, but don’t worry about it.
Couldn’t sleep at night because all the other inhabitants of this establishment like to congregate in the parking lot area at night, sitting around in lawn chairs shooting the shit and smoking cigarettes (and who knows what else?!?) while chugging 40s and getting wasted. Real classy.
The bed was abominable, as was the bathroom… the carpet… the walls… Yeah, and pretty much everything else about this place. I’m not going to lie. If we hadn’t already paid for this place online we would’ve packed up and gone elsewhere after taking one look at the room. And we should have, because I’d actually pay money NOT to have to ever stay in a place like this ever again!

While I am no stranger to cheap hotel, this was one of the less pleasant venues. It’s typical to have an air conditioner adjacent to the bed, and it’s a necessity in the late summer months up there.
However, it’s really unpleasant if you can’t adjust the air conditioner and the only option is to run it at full blast all night long.
We’d have opened the windows if there was a way to do do it securely, which there was not.

We were in town for a wedding and had to stay here because there were no rooms available anywhere else in the area due to several weddings happening there that weekend. The room was oppressively hot and stuffy. The air-​conditioner worked if we propped the vent facing up. The sheets were so worn you could see through them. The queen size bed was concave, causing us to roll into the middle. The toilet seat had brown crusty bits on it, despite the paper across it stating it was clean. I cleaned all the surfaces, handles and doorknobs in the room with disinfectant wipes. The freezer portion of the refrigerator was very wet, and under it was a tray filled with putrid water and nasty white curdled stuff that reeked of rotten milk. We had to use the fridge to refrigerate our baby’s medicine, and every time we opened the fridge, the stink filled the room and was overpowering. We stayed two nights. Despite a sign in the room stating to leave towels on the floor if you wanted them washed, no one came to clean the room, provide additional towels, or make the bed.
I would not stay here again even if someone paid me.

This place would be better off to be shut down. It is rented by the month by some of the areas nasties. Drug dealers and thugs stay here. DO NOT STAY HERE!!!

I was pleasantly surprised by the Stage Coach Motel. I paid around $ 120 for a Saturday and Sunday night in August. I would recommend calling them to reserve your room since they had the best price of any online booking service. You can tell that there are probably several people living there, but it is a smaller motel, and on that particular night there were only 2 rooms available. The room was outdated, but it was clean, the bed was comfortable, there was a coffee maker, TV, hair dryer– your standard amenities. The only complaint I have are the thin walls– we had the unfortunate luck of having a couple in the room next to us who woke us up each morning at 6am with sounds that I would prefer not to describe, although I can leave it to your imagination. This was truly the only downfall, but it’s really not the motel’s fault. The location of this motel was great– walking distance to historic downtown Grass Valley. It is in a residential neighorhood, so we couldn’t hear any traffic. Overall, a decent stay for a GREAT price. It was literally ½ the price of less of most of the other hotels in the area.

If you ever find yourself in Grass Valley (I don’t know why, but it is a nice little town!), then the Stage Coach Motel is a great place to stay.
The rates are quite affordable ($ 85 – 125 a night) and the rooms are comfortable. They give discounts to AAA members, but unfortunately, I’m not one so I dunno how much I would have saved. For a two-​night stay for two people in one room with a queen-​sized bed in September, I paid $ 201. Not horrible.
What’s great about this motel is the fact that it was within walking distance of downtown. With a town as small as Grass Valley, walking is the best mode of transportation.
A weekend stay at the Stage Coach made our stay in Grass Valley quite nice. It’s pretty close to the Empire Mine State Park as well as the South Yuba River State Park. But then again, everything’s pretty close in small towns like this.
As for the rooms, they come with a microwave, refrigerator, coffee maker, TV (with cable), and a phone. As for bathroom amenities, if you’re particular, I’d suggest you pack your own shampoo and soap and a hair dryer if you need it. The beds are fairly comfortable and the blankets are soft. Sound does carry between rooms but it could just be because the people next door were watching TV loudly.
They also allow pets for an additional $ 10 fee. The woman who runs the motel is a sweetheart and if you’re lucky, you might be able to meet her lovely tabby cat, Dora, who sometimes frequents the front desk.
In the mornings, they provide some bagged pastries (meh!), cereal, milk, OJ and fruit. That’s what they mean by continental breakfast. But it’s definitely good eating on a tight budget.
Quaint, cute and cozy. It’s not the Hilton, but I don’t mind.
