What guests think

Reviews of Alta Sierra Village Inn describe a rustic, budget-friendly stay with scenic lake and wildlife views and a quiet, tranquil setting, but note dated rooms and a mix of experiences with comfort, maintenance, and basic amenities.

Several guests praised friendly staff, early check-in, and the spacious, cabin-style units. Common complaints include uncomfortable mattresses and heaters or AC that are hard to operate or ineffective. Cleanliness and upkeep were inconsistent, and some rooms had unreliable Wi-Fi or TV and missing basics like lamps or phones, with a few reports of billing or deposit problems. A practical choice if you want basic lodging and can tolerate some quirks.

The room was very clean though barebones and the location was fine. However the room was freezing cold and the heater, installed near the ceiling, barely warmed the room. The bedding was nonexistent, just a thin polyester bedspread and flat stained pillows. We were just there for a quick overnight, so not worth complaining, but it just seems like common sense that there should be extra bedding in the room and working heaters that the guests can access without teetering on plastic chair to reach the controls. Won't stay here again.

Reserved room with 2 beds, got 1 queen. There were no lamps, only bright overhead lighting. Tripped on broken stair leading to room. Tub not too clean. Heater only blew air although it was so high on wall that you couldn’t read the buttons or knobs. I’m 72 and not able to climb on a chair to read it.

Our first impression was that we had arrived at camp and were staying in cabins. We loved the atmosphere. The room had extra amenities-coffee maker, microwave, refrigerator, etc...Two things that kept us from rating a 5: the corners of the room could have been cleaner (cobwebs and dust) and the heating/cooling wall unit was very dusty, which led us to not turn on the heater (in all fairness, we had arrived at a time when the weather is changing from warm during the day and very cool in the evenings (we were cold during the night). If a person is open to a "rustic" type of stay, then this motel is for you.

Only stayed one night. Room was clean, air conditioner worked well, and I was greeted by a beautiful cat when I checked in. Friendly and they let us check in early. I liked the idea of a deck with chairs, but they need to clear up the view. Only downfall, there was a small view of the lake, but there was a living room lounge chair and poop trucks as part of the view from the porch. Room 4

1. AC/Heating not working 2. Tub drain working poorly, ankle deep water 3.Bathroom door broken, unusable 4. No TV working 5. No WiFi working 6. Towels smell like cheap perfume and are a dingy and stained 7. Tried to close screen door to let in cool air ….. no screen in the door 8. Got cold in the night, no blankets just thin bedspread 9. Front door… no seal, air and bugs move in and out freely 10. Language barrier management can’t understand English when there’s a problem. Undoubtedly the worst lodging I’ve had in my adult life. I would never stay or recommend this place to anyone. It may be good for camping out, but not worth the price of a lodging establishment.

This place could be very charming. The rooms have amazing views. The layout of the rooms are great. The mattresses were horrible. I overlooked a few things because the price was so low. The bathroom door was broken but that doesn’t bother me. The mattresses need replacing and it would increase the rating of the room tremendously. I would go back every time to the location if they replaced them

I need to travel to grass Valley for two months for my nursing program. I found this hotel and decided to book it based on the price and was not expecting much because of the price. I was pleasantly surprised! The unit is very big. When you first walk in, you have a bathroom area to the left and then a fridge and microwave on the right and then you walk down a few stairs into the actual room which is a very large space. It doesn’t come with a lot of extras, but it was definitely worth the price and the surrounding area is quiet and pretty. I liked it so much that I booked it out every week for my clinical rotation that I am there.

Cabin feel on a golf course a couple miles off the Hw 49. Safe and very family friendly. Lots of kids running around having fun. Quiet after dark. Beds were bouncy, a bit noisy yet comfortable. Price was right. Expect clean and rustic and you will not be disappointed.
