We stayed here during the town's Gold Rush Festival, and the hotel's location was perfect - literally feet away from the main square. We were told the hotel had been recently renovated, and it was done nicely. Not only was our room attractive, comfortable and large, but little extras like a corner coat rack/shelf and two chairs (not just one) made for a very convenient stay. The only negative was parking. We were given a parking pass for Friday and Saturday but the festival ran through Sunday afternoon. On Sunday, we had no pass, and given the large event, parking was scarce and patrolled. We had to move our car to a garage further away, when just another 6-8 hours on the parking pass (still well before the next guest check in at 4 p.m.) would have allowed us to stay put.
