The on site restaurant and bar are well liked, and free, easy parking in the adjacent garage is frequently highlighted.

Diamond Hotel is a great property. There are not many worthwhile hotels in Chico. This was probably the nicest. Good centralized location. Great steakhouse about a block away. Several boutique-type shopping stores are just around the corner. Multiple bars and restaurants are within walking distance. The hotel is quiet and clean, offering massages and a steakhouse on the premises, although we did not use either one. We will stay here next time we come through Chico.

The parking garage was right next to the hotel. There was easy access and it was well lit and clean. Parking was free for hotel guests, so totally a win!

We hit the bonanza in finding this hotel on a road trip home. Two other layover towns were a bust for hotel and steak house. Driving father north, we looked into Chico. We have never been to Chico but were looking for a nice steak house and hotel. We found the perfect restaurant with this gem (Diamond) of a hotel to stay that was only two blocks from the restaurant. Free parking and free breakfast were added perks. The hotel was very clean, classy and comfortable. It felt and looked like a vintage, antique hotel but with all the modern amenities. Crazy enough, we would divert from I-5 next time just to stay here. It's great to know that we now have a destination hotel when traveling between Oregon and southern California. We had a lovely dinner, then walk back to hotel for a night cap at the bar. A perfect evening.

The Hotel Diamond was very beautiful and luxurious. Our room was spacious and the bed was comfortable. The staff was super friendly and the free breakfast was a custom-made omlette with potatoes, fruit, and all the coffee and juice you care to drink. We loved being downtown within walking distance to all the great shops and restaurants. The free parking in the adjacent parking garage was an unexpected plus.

Our stay was excellent, the staff is friendly and the lounge downstairs food is great! The breakfast is grab and go, I wish there were more options for other than bagels and muffins. The location is central and if you are visiting for the holidays the decorations are beautiful, and Santa came to visit, for the Children I left my AirPods in the room and the staff mailed them to my house.

This grand old hotel has been completely refurbished and very well done indeed. The staff were always helpful and friendly. The room was impeccably clean. The location is perfect in the heart of downtown Chico. The only negative was the TV did not work properly. It was supposed to have the common streaming channels (e.g., Netflix) but even a staff person could only get network stations.

The Hotel Diamond was a great place to spend a couple nights. Staff at the front desk was courteous, the room was clean and comfortable, and the location can’t be beat. My only caveat is that a Saturday event hosted in the restaurant downstairs had loud bass and talking from around 8-11 pm (event ended at 10 pm) and the front desk didn’t have earplugs on hand. Friday night was very quiet, so weeknights are likely to be safer for early sleepers.

The hotel is wonderful. Clean, friendly staff, nice rooms, wonderful free omelette breakfast, very close to Chico State which was our reason for staying. It’s about a 3-5 minute walk to the college. Unfortunately there was one deal breaker-the bed was hard as a rock. I wish I could say I’ll stay here again, but I’ve already booked somewhere else for our next visit. Foam mattress toppers would probably make a huge difference. When I mentioned it to the front desk ladies, they were very empathetic and mentioned that the hard mattresses were brand new ones. And that the older mattresses might be more comfortable next time. (The ones where the springs were able to be felt on the surface of the mattress, they said) No thanks. I would LOVE to stay here again if they had better mattresses. My body is still recovering from the 2 nights I stayed! If you like hard mattresses, you will love this hotel. It really is perfect otherwise!

I had to request a change for my room. I was given a room on the 4th floor looking toward the garage. The a/c units were so noisy all night long even though I had earplugs. Definitely would request a room on a lower floor on the other side of the building where it is so much quieter! Breakfast included was ok. Nothing special. Liked the victorian decor and vintage photos in the halls.

It's a very stylish hotel with great facilities and excellent services of room and bar areas! Lovely decorated room. The only complaint is we were staying for a Friday night and there were some crazy noises on the main street at a very late time, like crazy people shouting and police whistles. Don't know what's going on.

The location was great! The building was cool, albeit a little old. The staff person on Wednesday night was awesome. The staff person in the morning had an attitude of “what do you want? I’ve got work to do.” Not good. When I was waiting in their tiny lobby she started dusting the stairs and pictures on the walls which sent dust everywhere and I have asthma. I’m used to more consideration at a nice hotel.
