Josie, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

DO NOT STAY HERE! DISGUSTING!!

The room was absolutely disgusting! There was food in the fridge from previous people, the TV remote was sticky and coated with who knows what, insects in the bathroom and there was a smear of stool on the toilet seat. Almost everything in the room was broken. Drawers without handles and were literally falling out of the dressers, holes in the walls and the toilet paper holder was partially gone so the paper was just sitting on the top of the toilet. The Wi-Fi didn’t work and the beds and pillows were hard. Also, there was someone going up and down banging on the doors of rooms early in the morning making sleep impossible. My sister and I felt like we were going to get a disease staying in that room. Stay away from this place!!

Low budget hotel - you get what you pay for. It was clean, adequate furnishings and the manager was super friendly and helpful.

Great Staff, Nice Stay

This motor lodge offers a no-frills place to stay, with a great staff at a reasonable price. I would absolutely stay here again.

8/10 Very good

This is not a bad hotel, the comforter on the bed takes you bad to the 80s so it has that nostalgic charm, but the place is very clean and rooms are in a great renovate condition new paint, and so on. Bathrooms are nice and big and clean as well. dont let the exterior of this place fool you, for a motor inn, it is 8.5/10
Wess, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It's an old motel, but it is clean, in good shape, and relatively quiet. And to top it off, the bed and pillows were really comfortable.

Nice place to stay.

Nice little room, some minor repairs/updates needed.
Steven, 1-night trip

Great area not far from convenient stores and restaurants but just a little bit over priced for the room but not a bad place to stay
Rene, 2-night trip

Clean and Comfortable

We have stayed multiple times at this motel. It's not fancy, but it's very clean and comfortable. The staff is always friendly. The location is very near Apple Hill and it's always a fun place to visit
Kimberley, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff are very accommodating, VERY polite. Its an old school style motor lodge, so you park right in front of your room, which is great cuz Im disabled. The pool looked refreshing but i didnt get a chance to use. P.S. it appears they are
Kerry, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Check in was very easy. The lady was very nice at the front desk and when I had a little trouble with the lock, her husband was able to take care of it immediately. The place was quiet, clean a very comfortable. I got to park my truck right out front. The town was very close, if I had needed it, but, I had everything I needed with me. I love their set up of the yummy coffee, mini fridge, microwave and tv and definitely an awesome air conditioner!!! I stayed for 2 days and nights. I would definitely come back here next visit !!!
Addie, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Found it a wee bit tricky to find my room, but I got it sorted out easy enough. The area seems to be a little more sketchy than I'd typically like, but honestly it's not bad. It's right off of hwy 50, so it's amazingly convenient. The office staff were so polite it was refreshing. They do close the office at 11pm, so no late check ins. The room itself is very clean, and the bathroom is newly renovated and shower works great. The AC works wonderfully.
Melanie, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Bed was warped, hard, and really, really old. Holes in the paper thin walls. Windows didn't close fully, neither did the door. No towels. They charge a lot and are an ultra cheap hotel. Really wish I'd paid the extra $30 for the one down the road.
Samuel, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Hidden fees and double taxation

Rude customer service!!!!!

Rudest man working the front desk we arrived at 11:35pm rang the bell for front desk where a man came out and informed me there closed office closed at 11:30 refused to check us in. After complaining he rudely checked us in. It was no where posted that the office closes at 11:30. Will never stay here again!!!!
Kimberly, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nicely kept place, but problem with hot water

The Gold Trail and next-door Mother Lode motels are managed as a single property. Our room was in the Mother Lode motel. It was nicely remodeled, though in an older building. Two issues worth mentioning: we didn't get a written slip or "cheat sheet" with wi-fi password info when we checked in, which required a phone call to the office (at the other motel.) And getting password info by phone is difficult at best. I finally gave up and drove back to the office so I could get the correct password in writing. The other issue: I might have misunderstood how to use the unlabeled single control lever for the shower, but never could get any hot water. Didn't get any from the sink, either. Managed to shave with cold water, but had to give up on the shower.
