This was our first time to Grass Valley and the Holbrooke Hotel. It came highly recommended by a friend. The property, amenities and restaurants/bars were great! Onsite staff were also wonderful! From the check-in to room requests and the interactions with servers/bartenders - all were wonderful! The only complaint we have is regarding the room temperatures/thermostat. You can't adjust the temperature in your room as there was no thermostat. Nor were we able to open our windows as they were painted shut. It was very hot in our room and due to this we didn't get much sleep. In addition, all should be aware about booking through a 3rd party. In booking our reservations through a third party, we were placed in the Pursell House and not the main Holbrooke building. This is not something that is correctly described when booking on 3rd party sites. It is correctly described on the Holbrooke's website. In addition, you are charged a $15 amenity fee onsite if booking through a 3rd party which adds to the cost. Best to book directly with the Hotel!
