"This was probably the cleanest motel I’ve stayed at in a long time. Staff incredibly friendly and check in was very smooth. I stayed during a busy time so the rates were a little steep but off-season this would be great value for money. I would stay here again. Some great little eateries nearby as well."

10/10 Excellent
"The room was spic N span! The staff was so helpful, courteous and accommodating. Due to no air conditioning & opening the window, the ceiling fan was just not enough for cooling. I would recommend making the wall unit a duel combo making it AC & Heat. Besides excellent lodging accommodations, the recommendations for restaurants were excellent - the Stonefly offers the best fine dining. For drinks and simple meals, the Cutthroat Restaurant offers very good food items. We experienced a great get-away for two nights in Markleeville and I highly recommend it to all travelers of all ages."

"We stayed on the second floor at a very hot time of year. The hotel itself was fine, the bed was comfortable, the bathroom adequate. But since there is no air conditioning in the building, the first two nights were really warm. Our room got up to 85 degrees during the day while we were gone. Fortunately, I brought a fan to put in the window, and that’s the only way we survived. The staff was great, quick to help. The wonderful part was having the general store, ice cream shop, and restaurants all within walking distance. I would definitely return - but not in August, lol."
