Wonderful
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
Rooms were very spacious and clean only thing I would’ve changed was it smelled like cury in the room( can’t blame the hotel that’s a hard smell to get rid of)
Had a great time. Rooms are comfortable, staff are very friendly. Breakfast is basic but some cereal and toast was perfect before a busy morning of hiking. Coffee was Great. If you need some protein they sell some Jimmy bean breakfast sandwiches that you can microwave.
I would highly recommend booking a gold mining tour with Rattle Snake Randy. We had a great morning with him and found some gold.

For breakfast, we had to go to the office across the street. We were on the ground floor and people above us were very noisy all through our stay.
Rockerville was an enjoyable stay. The room was clean, nicely maintained and I loved that it had a full kitchenette including a refrigerator with freezer, which was helpful to get my cooler packs frozen again for a long drive. The room was comfortable, check in quick and easy and I liked that parking was right in front on room (room was one flight up but not a problem). The property is about a 12-15 min drive into town and not too far but the terrain does make it feel a little bit longer than it actually is. All in all and really nice comfortable place to stay. I was only there for one night but it would have been great to stay longer given the comfort of the room.

Disliked: Amenities
It's a two story building. Do not stay on the bottom floor! You can hear everything from above. They leave ear plugs on the night stand for this reason.
Very friendly people and an enjoyable stay. The continental breakfast was more than adequate and greatly appreciated.
The divided site with the highway between makes things tricky, so care must be taken.
I really liked the history associated with the place also.
Hard to access office and breakfast - involved cutting across a busy highway. Nice kitchen facilities but only futon to sit on which was very uncomfortable! No soundproofing - could hear every movement from upstairs.
Would stay here again! Staff was friendly, room was clean. We had a kitchn and everythin was provided and in good shape. Convenient to everywhere we wanted to go tom
