Although room was clean a paint touch up would do wonders. Markings on walls. The towels were thin. Had to move fridge to plug it in Cleaning people knocked on the door at about 8:45-9 am which was disturbing check out is at 11 am Able to park directly in front of room

They said the door "is a little sticky". No, it’s a big problem. Every time opening and closing the door was a major hassle. Staff were friendly and helpful.

It’s an okay place for what it is, but the TV stopped working and the owner couldn’t fix it while I was staying there, and after making coffee, and just before drinking it, I noticed that there were ants floating on the top of the coffee. So,…

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.

Their per policy is not listed on this site. I paid extra $25 a night but they told me upon check in that they have a strict no pet alone in room policy. So you pay and extra fee to have the dog in a supposed dog friendly hotel and then they expect you to take the pet with you every time you leave the motel. The place is also in dire need of repairs and renovations. It was not very clean and was damaged. Missing towel bar. Moldy strip at base of shower. Threadbare curtains. Doors damaged. Furniture aged and shabby. Mattress was very old.

The room was clean as far as we could tell there was only one wash cloth,the shower had plenty of hot water and pressure was great maybe to good it sprayed and splashed out of the shower which makes the floor very wet a few more towels could could help mitigate the wet floor. Overall it served the purpose the bathroom fan could not be run because it squealed so bad.still though for the price it will do.

The Gold Trail Motor Lodge and the Mother Lode Motel apparently now have the same owner. We booked with Mother Lode but ended up next door with a room in the Gold Trail Motor Lodge. For being so close to the freeway our room was remarkably quiet. The bed was comfortable, the shower was immediately hot and the water pressure wonderful. The place was clean. There is room for improvement-- dresser drawers needing handles, wall paper section needing glue . . . Would we stay there again when passing through the area? Absolutely. The room was definitely good enough. What was outstanding? The delightful couple who ran the place. They are friendly and a pleasure to deal with.

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 !!!

It was quiet until night time when everyone around you wanted to party. Got woken up at 3:00 AM to the next door neighbor partying loud and not caring what time of the night it was. Bathroom had tiny soaps to use that barley even worked. The sink and shower knobs turned around over and over until you got the temperature you needed.

Property appears to have been recently renovated. Our king bed room had the awful wall AC unit removed (they are always noisy and blow right over the bed) and installed an upper wall Mitsubishi air handler that was whisper quiet and kept the room very comfortable. A Kohler brand toilet in the bath with a soft close seat and cover that form over the seat to allow you to sit on it without the cover sliding sideways. Ammenities were simple, coffee maker, fridge, and microwave, wall mounted TV. Room was quiet, despite being near the freeway.

The staff was very helpful when we needed assistance and very polite. We had 3 rooms total, and Room 20 was very oddly small, A queen bed almost touched the dresser/TV and was diffcult to maneuver in the room, The highway is very noisy but uncontrollable we understand, but overall we had no major issues.

$25 for the dog to stay. $50 security deposit that would be returned in 7 days. The furniture in the room was in very poor condition. The room only had about 12 inches between the bed and the dresser. The door to the bathroom was in the way of walking around the bed. In the morning there were ants in the bathroom. Not very clean.

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.
