The hotel is very nice. Beautiful room. The restaurant appears to relaxing and comfortable. My Alfredo with shrimp was below par. Pasta was gummy and over cooked. The shrimp was rubbery and it too was over cooked. The favor was tasty but the presentation was not appealing. Would not recommend this dish. My wife's Ahi taco was okay but it too was over cooked. We will not be going back there again. The three stars were due to my dinner was subpar at best. read more

Beware: The cleaning staff steal guests' belongings. On June 10, 2026 I left a pearl gold necklace in the room. I knew exactly where I left it (hanging from the cosmetic mirror in the bathroom). Called right away. No luck. read more

Visited September 26th. I checked out this place because I have friends that have their kids enrolled at Chico State. Because they live in Southern California they wanted to have some options for all of us to stay at. This one marked off all the boxes! It was built in the 1904 with some original brick walls in the entry. Its a great location with parking garage next door and Walking distance to shops and restaurants! A real PLUS is they have a nice restaurant inside called The Grill with a full bar. Air conditioned rooms with free wifi and an elevator. Bank of America is across the street and the Rawbar is right next door! Great safe location! I can't wait to stay there with friends! read more

I cant wait to go back! Amazing location for a boutique hotel. Walking distance literally for all the shops, restaurants and bars. Comes with a continental breakfast. Bar and restaurant are located adjacent without having to go outside. (I did not experience either) The staff was very pleasant to work with dealing with a business credit card not in our name. The unique decor to each room takes me back to my childhood at my nanas house. The room was very dry but very clean. I was able to open outside windows to get some fresh air which was very nice. Over all would go back in a heartbeat simply for the location. read more

Nice hotel great location, they handled the graduation weekend very well, being close to downtown makes a great place wander from

As an events coordinator, I work with a lot of venues and teams -- and I can confidently say that Hotel Diamond stands out for their exceptional customer service and genuine care. We recently held our firm's retreat at Hotel Diamond, and I cannot say enough about the outstanding service and care we received from their team; specially Kate, Devon, and Nathan. From start to finish, the level of professionalism and attentiveness they showed made our entire experience seamless. Kate, the Events Coordinator, was an absolute gem to work with; organized, responsive, and always one step ahead in making sure every detail was handled. Devon and Nathan were equally wonderful, going above and beyond to accommodate last-minute changes, special requests, and our large group with such patience and genuine hospitality. The hotel itself was charming and clean, and a welcoming atmosphere that made our team feel right at home. Every guest had a positive experience, and the staff made coordinating an event for 20+ people look effortless. If you're planning a group stay, retreat, or event in Chico, Hotel Diamond should be at the top of your list. Thank you again, Kate, Devon, and Nathan, for making our retreat so special! read more

The staff is nice!! Reason I give it a two star because the beds are SO UNCOMFORTABLE!!!! The mattresses are definitely old and overused. I stayed two nights and both my husband and I woke up in pain and sore and had no sleep barely because of the mattresses. For $200 a night we expected a decent comfortable bed. Because of this I won't stay here again. read more

Hotel Diamond is the place to go choice while in Chico. Hotel Diamond is a boutique hotel with about 59 guest rooms so book now because they do sell out. This is an old hotel, but kept up perfectly. The rooms are not super fancy, just comfortable, clean and with everything you need. We stayed in a king room which was so nice with a little seating area, a HD TV, air conditioning (a must have in the summer), and a mini fridge. They also have free Wi Fi. We loved our room and just everything about this gem of a hotel. The hotel has a 24 hour front desk. We had complimentary parking. Now that is a treat being from LA and paying up to 80$ a night just to park your car. There is a lot to do nearby and their eatery is amazing. The service is great. We loved the maid service, so so clean, and the front desk staff was the best, directing us to great places to visit. If you are staying in Chico this is the only place you want to be. read more

Amazing hotel. Great staff located right downtown. Great room. Didn't eat there but menu looked great.

Stayed 1 night here. Such a cute hotel! Nice rooms, comfy bed, restaurant was good too. Great food and drinks. Staff really nice. I forgot my necklace and they called to tell me I left it. Will stay here again. read more

The staff here are wonderful! I asked for a different pillow they brought me one. I asked to borrow a phone charger, no problem they had every kind. The server at the restaurant offered to change a dish to suite me and split the entree in 2 boxes for take away. It's a very charming property and the rooms are very nice. The people who work here, they are exceptional. Well done! Our stay was 9-23-25. read more

We stayed here for the first time on our most recent trip to Chico. It's a lovely hotel in the heart of downtown. It is a rebuilt version of the old building, which had once housed a hotel of this name, and the detail and care at recreating the style and decor of the early 20th century, inside and out, is excellent. It is classy, very clean, and comfortable. Service is great, and breakfast is available onsite, a continental breakfast during the week and a voucher towards brunch on the weekend. There is parking in the garage next door. It's a short, pleasant walk to anywhere in downtown or the university. The only negative points are that the shower, which has no hand-held part (all too uncommon in the US, unfortunately) is not very strong so showering is not ideal, and they provide only liquid handwash, not actual soap (also an increasingly common problem). read more

The Hotel Diamond is the only property I will stay at when visiting Chico. I truly love this property in the heart of downtown Chico. They have a lovely & quaint bar on-site, with awesome customer service & drinks from Shelby, the bartender. We didn't get to eat at The Grill (on-site restaurant) this time, but look forward to having dinner there next time. We stayed in the Alisa suite which overlooks Broadway & I'm in love with this room! I absolutely adore everything about Hotel Diamond. The customer service, the decor, the variety of rooms, the location to downtown eateries/stores/bars and being a close 2 blocks from the beautiful Chico State campus. I would like to commend the hotel manager, Devon Garcia, who I've had the pleasure of dealing with since 2018 when my son started attending Chico State. He is always friendly & ensures my husband & I are well taken care of when coming to Chico. Thank you Devon. I look forward to our next stay at Hotel Diamond. read more

Stayed at the Hotel Diamond over the weekend and had a fantastic stay. The hotel was sold out for the weekend with a large crowd for a 50th birthday and a wedding party. With all these people, the front desk staff was amazing and very helpful. The restaurant/bar was great---food was delicious and extremely inexpensive. Location was perfect to the campus and downtown---you could park your car when you arrived and not have to drive again until you left. Thank you Hotel Diamond read more

This was my third time staying here and this was my least favorite trip. It's the smallest room I've had here. The furniture is all janky and majorly knicked up so much it looks like crap. The door on the cabinet where the refrigerator is located does not stay shut and the knob is loose. The pillows were so thick I could not sleep on them. I ended up sleeping on the hard decorative bed pillow. When I checked in, the lovely gentleman at the front desk said the room they had for me was not ready so they were giving me another and nicer room. I'm wondering now what the first room was like. The hotel charges insane prices for massages that one would find in a big city. They also charge if you want an early or late checkout. I've never heard of such a thing in all my years of traveling around the world. Restaurant and bar are separate owners. We were here for a Valentine's Day event in Chico and only had cocktails in the bar, which the hotel provided two $15.00 vouchers. Each cocktail was $15.00 - very pricy for Chico. Both bar and hotel staff are very friendly. The Hotel Diamond needs a come to Jesus moment and realize Chico is not a big city and price gouging is not very welcoming. We will stay in an Airbnb next time. read more

We stayed here when my daughter toured Cal State Chico. I can't say enough good things about the experience. From the room to the staff to the amazing breakfast, we were so pleased. If my daughter chooses Chico state this will be our home base while visiting her. read more

I liked this hotel. Location is great, easy walking to shops, bars and restaurants. It was very clean, staff was pleasant and unlike some of the other reviews I found their beds and pillows comfortable vs hard like others indicated. The attached restaurant is nice and the breakfast with the vouchers was very good. Parking was included and very easy. The only negative was our view. It was the rooftop with the A/C. I mean someone has to have the view, and we made reservations same day so not complaining, just saying I can't give a 5 for that reason. read more

I almost never give 5 star reviews, but I really have (almost) nothing negative to say or that I would change about my stay at Hotel Diamond this past weekend! Although, I didn't experience EVERyTHING the hotel has to offer (we didn't go to the bar or eat at the restaurant) everything we did experience was wonderful! Starting with the front desk staff (two young ladies on the evening of Saturday, Nov.) they were extremely friendly and offered up suggestions for places to grab breakfast the next morning). The hotel itself is clean and well decorated for the holidays! It's location is perfect if you plan on spending time in Downtown Chico. I've seen some yelpers complain about noise, but what do you expect when you're staying downtown in a college town? Our room was very nice (deluxe king room, I think). Very spacious, included a mini fridge with two complimentary water bottles inside, complimentary candy and nuts from Chico, and pretty much every other accommodation you would expect I. A nice hotel! If I had to criticize, I would say the bed was hard for my liking (not the best hotel bed I've ever slept in). Would highly recommend this hotel for anyone staying in Chico and hope to stay there again in the future! read more

The Honeymoon Suite has a small but powerful fireplace on timer, a third floor balcony with a table and four chairs, and a large comfortable bathtub with separate shower.

I worked with both Kate & Lauren to host a 40th birthday party. After listening to what I envisioned they helped me plan a cocktail party in the wine cellar. Space layout was more than enough for my group, use of tv's made it super easy to have a slide show going that everyone could enjoy. Food options were plentiful and delicious. The service was top notch, we had our own waiters going back and forth to bring drinks from the bar. Overall, I would recommend The Grill / Hotel Diamond for your next event. read more

I had the pleasure of being serviced by Steven and Aiden at the venue! From their interactions, very high customer experience quotient and great experience. Check-in was super smooth and every question I had was met with an answer. The bar ran by a more than capable manager--my guess on how he ran things--was impressive. I saw Aiden greet every customer that came in with a smile and the swiftness of Hermes (honestly, not an easy task), satisfied every person that came to get a drink, helped masterfully orchestrated the food process, gave space to individuals who wanted to have a drink and talk, and masterfully managed the room! Aw inspiring!!! read more

Hotel is dope. Great venue. Raw ass burger tho, but the fries r good. Staff is super chill too, gave me a to go box for my raw ass burger read more

Hotel Diamond - Hotels Near Me - CHICO, California

The bed is super hard and the "queen" is more like a full size. Terrible water pressure. Took 6-7 min for hot water to start. Strong acetone smell in lobby and on 2nd floor. Had a view of parking garage and it was quiet at night. We had vouchers for food at The Grill downstairs so I went there twice for breakfast which was absolutely delicious and the best part about staying here. I will say the decor in the lobby is cute and it looks like a nice place. But the bed really took them down a few stars since I'm mainly here to sleep and I couldn't do that very well. Service is friendly. Won't return. read more

Great place to stay. Clean nice staff great bar and restaurant!! Turn key deal walking distance from a ton of other things to do!!

The restaurant was exceptional - beautiful; in an old hotel, upstairs. They have an elevator! Wait staff were efficient, courteous, kind and responsive. The salads were AMAZING! I hope to stop in for more, when we return and would LOVE to have dinner there. Just SO WELL DONE! read more

Hotel Diamond - Cobb salad with homemade balsamic...they bake their breads, as well, from what I understand! - Hotels Near Me - CHICO, California

The hotel is really cute and unique. Parking is right next door and free for hotel guests. A voucher is provided for each guest to use for dinner or brunch at the restaurant, which is nice. The food we have gotten has been good. The location downtown is great. We have stayed 3 times and the beds are SO.INCREDIBLY.HARD. It feels like sleeping on the floor. Maybe it's because I'm getting older but my body is so sore after sleeping there. If a very firm mattress doesn't bother you, this is a great place to stay! read more

Great hotel. Very quaint and the staff is very helpful and friendly. I haven't been there since the restaurant opened so I can't comment on that. I'm sure it is good though. read more

Last minute work trips can be uncomfortable. I was expecting to sleep in my bed last night but duty called and I had to go to Chico with little notice. So happy I got to stay at Hotel Diamond, which made my unplanned night away from home comfortable and pleasant! In a world of AirBnbs and mega hotel chains, there's very little in between. I usually find myself either staying somewhere impersonal or a bit too personal. Hotel Diamond had the cleanliness and comfort of a big hotel chain but had such a cute, old-timey vibe to it, playing off of Chico's flavor and making it feel like more of an experience than a big hotel. The location is stellar. It's right up in the action near the CSU, lots of bars and restaurants, and a downtown plaza area. It was really nice to be able to have so many options to unwind after my day within walking distance. Although, had we had to use the car, parking is a breeze at the hotel. You get a pass and can park in their large garage with ample spaces. The people at the front desk were friendly and helpful, and breakfast was lovely. My room came with a $10 voucher for breakfast, so my colleague and I only paid $12 for a nice breakfast between the two of us. Service was a little on the slower side, but nothing excesive and the wait staff was friendly and apologetic, so we didn't mind too much. I highly recommend this place if you're in Chico! My only real complaint is that the room came with a fridge but no microwave, forcing me to eat my late night fries cold. But then again, maybe I shouldn't be eating fries right before bed. So perhaps this was a good thing. read more

Beautiful renovation of a historic building. Very clean, fresh paint and linens. Aveda products. On a scale of 0 to 10, noise level of 3 from hall and rooms above. I'm sensitive to noise, someone else might think it was 100% quiet. Easy free parking right next door. Nice breakfast in the restaurant, they gave us $10 vouchers towards the meal. Beautiful restaurant and bar. Location right in downtown Chico, what a cute town. The hotel staff showed us real hospitality on Christmas- thank you! I also thought the price was right. read more

Hotel Diamond used to be one of my favorite places to stay away from home. It is clean, staff is nice and the reservation/check-in process is easy. It's been about 6 years since our last stay though, so when a work trip had me in Chico, it was an easy choice on where to book. I am just waking up from a night here and my goodness the beds are like sleeping on concrete. Unfortunately, this will be the last time I stay here. Comfort and cleanliness are the two things I'm looking for out of a hotel. 4 stars for cleanliness and 1 star for comfort here. read more

very disappointed. Had two adjoining rooms but only one bed each. We had to bring in a rollout bed which really cramped the already crowded rooms. We arrived too late to find someplace else and had plans for the two next days that kept us busy, no time to shop around for another room. they never offered to adjust the price, Motel 6 would've been more accommodating.. will not go back when I am back in Chico read more

The Hotel Diamond is the ONLY place to stay when in Chico! My husband in I work in Chico about once a month and we always stay at the Hotel Diamond. Gorgeous historic hotel with friendly and accommodating staff. The managers Devon and Lexi are wonderful and always welcome us with open arms. The location is right in downtown where all the restaurants and bars are so we walk everywhere. The food in the area is amazing and we haven't had a bad meal yet! Last weekend we celebrated our 23rd wedding anniversary there and had the best time! Thank you Hotel Diamond and all the staff who always make our stay a perfect getaway! read more

I've stayed here several times during the past five years and always have enjoyed staying at this property. That said, I'm docking them 0.5 points for still not reopening the restaurant and 1 point for suspending room service. Come on. That's just shabby cost-cutting at this point. Reduced services at the previous price? Nah. read more

Incredible, professional, above and beyond and exceptional staff and accommodations! I organized renting out the hotel for our AGD Reunion at Chico State and staying at the Diamond was the perfect place. I worked with Devon on the accommodations - he was incredibly helpful, polite and patient with our group of 80+ women. From the reservations, to changes all the way through check-in and check-out. Thank you Devon! We enjoyed the bar every night and the manager there (sorry didn't catch name) and wait staff went above and beyond for all of us. Michelle was a server and was delightful! I HIGHLY recommend staying at the Diamond Hotel. Truly a gem in downtown Chico. Thank you! read more
