Housekeeping staff is very sweet. My room was still under construction and was pained a horrible color of orange. The bed was unbelievably awful. ##### Amy Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### William 4 Aug 2024 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities Not a lot of people carpet was really old and dirty ##### William Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Cynthia 16 Sept 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Disappointed Check-in was inconvenient. Had to go next door to check-in. Was informed by the note in the door ##### Cynthia Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### JODY 17 Oct 2022 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The reservation was for 4 adults we inly had 2 towels in room The shampoo left in room was opened and used there were spider webs from lamp to ceiling no extra toilet paper The room was old and needs a facelift no staff on site due to remodel you need to register at hotel up the road. ##### JODY Stayed 1 night in Oct 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### Monica 16 Feb 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great price but unsafe I was traveling for medical reasons. I needed a place to sleep for the night. I chose this hotel for the price and boy did I pay. In most ways this hotel was fine, but… I cut my foot badly on a staple sticking out of the floor in front of the bathroom door. There was black mold in the bathroom on the walls above the shower, and my coffee pot did not work. it still had the coffee and water in it from the person who was in the room before me and they tried to make coffee and it didn’t work for them either. I wish I had taken pictures now, but I was hoping to get a resolution from the owner when I checked out and I did not, so here is my honest review. ##### Monica Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Laurie 4 Sept 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities My reservation was at Mother Lode, but when I tried to check in, the office was closed and a note to call a number for assistance. The number was to another hotel up the road. I went there, had no choice but to check in. Rooms smelled so bad, electrical outlets in bathroom didn't work, no wi-fi, hardly any TV channels and no pool. Switch and bait!! ##### Laurie Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Stephanie 1 May 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I liked NOTHING about this property; in fact I am trying to get refund as we did not stay there. The room smelled of bleach and I'm immune comprised as I have cancer and could not stay there. The pool was not operational, the front desk person was rude; in fact we had to check at a different hotel as the office for this motel was under construction. ##### Stephanie Stayed 1 night in Apr 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Clinton 10 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Kind of happy but maybe not. The motell was under renovation and the office was closed. We had to drive to the other hotel up the road just a few feet away. When i checked in they did not have the King bed we asked for at the hotel i requested that was close to the pool but the offered us a room with two queen beds at the same price so we took that. The AC worked but it was realy loud so when it would come on every 10 minutes it would wake you up. There were construction workers staying there and at 5 am they were out side tallking very loud and they had their stereo up with the doors open not to mention the backup beepers. When there is a parking lot on the other side of the property the could make as much noise as they want. ##### Clinton Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Sierra 1 Oct 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Unfortunately we had to leave because the overwhelming scent of the cleaner/disinfectant that they used was making me feel sick. They claimed was using what they had to for the regulations, however they were using way to much...Ive stayed in motels before and after this and none smelled like this. Including the one we ended up staying at instead of. The room wasn't vacuumed good and there were crumbs in the entry. The curtain was broken and as I tried to move it I found the backside covered in dust and grime. The pillows were so wrinkly they looked like someone slept on them...its cheap,..for a reason. ##### Sierra Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### ken 30 Sept 2025 no computer charge circuits. only one bed stand, no clothes closet...it was bare minimum standards...some of the furniture very worn out, no cups or supplies for coffee, .... ##### ken Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vickie 24 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Nice updates to an aged property, nice pool too ##### Vickie Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Lisa 31 Jul 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### We left instead of staying a second night The office was closed for renovation so we had to check in at the property just up the road. The included breakfast was a stale, packaged pastry that I got at check-in. Booked a double queen room but the beds were just full size. Both my kids hurt their feet on the exposed tack strip on the edge of the threshold into the bathroom so we covered it with a towel. The shower curtain was on the ground, the shelf in the shower had been ripped off, showing exposed concrete, and the inside of the bathroom door was missing a bunch of paint (likely from a pet that was locked inside). We were planning to stay 2 nights but decided to just drive home after a long day of river rafting rather than stay a second night. I will say the grass area and garden are quite pretty. ##### Lisa Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Kelly 8 Jun 2025 Liked: Amenities The handicap room #1 is not very accessible. No room around the bed for a wheelchair. No bars in the shower. Shower head is on the opposite wall of the bench seat. There is also no removable shower head to wash person. The water does not even reach the person. Our second room a/c did not work. They brought in a fan and said that was all they could do. The staff was kind but the actual rooms were not great. One plus is the pool is clean and beautiful. ##### Kelly Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert 16 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Pleasant check in experience Small room but clean ##### Robert Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Komoki 10 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities We stay here every time we are in town.

Bed was comfortable and they offered a breakfast but we didn't partake of it. We've stayed here before and have never been disappointed. ##### Robert Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marye L 17 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Remodeled room was beautiful and peaceful with view of nature and swimming pool ##### Marye L Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### KAI-YUAN 22 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Cheap ##### KAI-YUAN Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nathan 29 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Very friendly and welcoming place,i wouldn't hesitate to go back again ##### Nathan Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Kimpton Everly Hotel Hollywood by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Kimpton-Everly-Hotel-Hollywood.h17524828.Hotel-Information) > > [Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Diego-Hotels-Manchester-Grand-Hyatt-San-Diego.h12073.Hotel-Information) > > [Ocean View Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Ocean-View-Hotel.h19135.Hotel-Information) > > [The Godfrey Hotel Hollywood](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-Godfrey-Hotel-Hollywood.h32945867.Hotel-Information) > > [Biltmore Los Angeles](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Millennium-Biltmore-Los-Angeles.h25715.Hotel-Information) > > [Silver Lake Pool & Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Silver-Lake-Pool-Inn.h34504058.Hotel-Information) > > [Level Los Angeles Downtown - South Olive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Level-Los-Angeles-Downtown-South-Olive.h10649672.Hotel-Information) > > [citizenM Los Angeles Downtown](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-CitizenM-Los-Angeles-Downtown.h65299564.Hotel-Information) > > [Coronado Island Marriott Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Coronado-Hotels-Coronado-Island-Marriott-Resort-Spa.h25270.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Figueroa, an Unbound Collection by Hyatt](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Hotel-Figueroa.h8805682.Hotel-Information) > > [The Hollywood Roosevelt](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-Hollywood-Roosevelt.h34142.Hotel-Information) > > [W Los Angeles - West Beverly Hills](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-W-Los-Angeles-West-Beverly-Hills.h25974.Hotel-Information) > > [Mondrian Los Angeles](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Mondrian-Los-Angeles.h4798.Hotel-Information) > > [W Hollywood](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-W-Hollywood.h3084874.Hotel-Information) > > [Bahia Resort Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Diego-Hotels-Bahia-Resort-Hotel.h18241.Hotel-Information) > > [Kimpton La Peer Hotel West Hollywood by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Kimpton-La-Peer-Hotel.h18156733.Hotel-Information) > > [The Wayfarer San Diego](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Diego-Hotels-The-Wayfarer-San-Diego.h15555.Hotel-Information) > > [The London West Hollywood at Beverly Hills](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-London-West-Hollywood-At-Beverly-Hills.h21097.Hotel-Information) > > [Cornell Hotel de France](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Francisco-Hotels-Cornell-Hotel-De-France.h1222727.Hotel-Information) > > [Clarion Hotel Anaheim Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Anaheim-Hotels-Clarion-Hotel-Anaheim-Resort.h3893.Hotel-Information) > > [Disneyland Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Anaheim-Hotels-Disneyland-Hotel.h15276.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Caza Fisherman's Wharf](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Francisco-Hotels-Hotel-Caza.h38249309.Hotel-Information) > > [The Hollywood Franklin Hotel near Universal Studios](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-Adler-A-Hollywood-Hills-Hotel.h9761.Hotel-Information) > > [The Sun Rose West Hollywood](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-Sun-Rose-West-Hollywood.h57961536.Hotel-Information) > > [The Barnes San Francisco, Tapestry Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Francisco-Hotels-Villa-Florence-San-Francisco-On-Union-Square.h5425.Hotel-Information) > > [HOLLYWOOD VOLUME, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-HOLLYWOOD-VOLUME.h62585670.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton San Francisco Union Square](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Francisco-Hotels-Hilton-San-Francisco-Union-Square.h25622.Hotel-Information) > > [Homewood Suites by Hilton San Diego Downtown/Bayside](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Diego-Hotels-Homewood-Suites-By-Hilton-San-Diego-DowntownBayside.h13155016.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Francisco-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Plaza-Fishermans-Wharf.h24625.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Centric Fisherman's Wharf San Francisco](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Francisco-Hotels-Hyatt-Centric-Fishermans-Wharf-San-Francisco.h22500.Hotel-Information)
