It was a good value and appreciated too.

It was clean, comfortable, adequate. No frills. It was fine for my stay. I’m not impressed by hotel/motels that charge exorbitant expenses for a shower and place to sleep. Thank you Mother Load Motel and Bookings dot com!

The show leaked out onto the bathroom floor.

Overpriced, but worked in a pinch

I had to stay a night in Placerville when Highway 50 to South Lake Tahoe was closed due to heavy snows. Given the situation the lodging served it’s purpose, but wouldn’t recommend it for anything other than a single nights rest in a pinch.

Definitely overpriced for what you get. Very basic roadside motel. Scratched/chipped paint on walls, broken lamp fixtures, etc.

Passable

That a room was available..because of the storm we didn't have a choice.

No hot water in the shower...The TV didn't work..the phone didn't work..and when reported nothing for compensation was given

UNSAFE ESTABLISHMENT

10 minutes after I checked in someone tried to open the door to my hotel room. I had secured it with a strap so when it turned the lock didn’t disengage. Distressed at this event I called the front desk. the clerk suggested I look out the window and tell them to go away or call 911 if i felt unsafe. but he would not change my room, would not offer a refund, and told me it was my problem If I felt unsafe. I argued with him because we all deserve to feel safe when traveling or at least feel like the staff are concerned even slightly. He said if I didn’t like it I could leave and hung up on me. I am appalled at this behavior.

Horrible please contact me I need to know how to protest this my credit card company is fighting it but I need to fight

Absolutely nothing, this was the worst property I’ve ever experienced in my 63 years of life. We did not stay the night because the rooms smelled of mold & cleaning products the rooms were misrepresented, you told us there would be no fee for a dog they told us $25. I called ahead & emailed ahead and asked for specific rooms in their separate motel up above the ones we were required to take & I was told they were available. When we arrived they said they were not available. I requested these rooms in the separate motel because many years prior we’d stayed and they were OK. The rooms they insisted we take, the rooms smelled of mold & cleaning products, carpets were filthy, the bedspreads had cigarette burn holes, two of our party have respiratory issues & we refused to stay and they refused to refund I am dealing my credit card company now. They stated they had no authority to waive any fees and we had to go back to Booking.com. When I read your site you said they had the authority. I didn’t know how to contact your company but something should be done to stop these people. Read the reviews they’ve done this over and over they are dishonest people they get your money then show you the horrible room. Stop this now. I will fight these people to the bitter end and will not pay the $540 they are insisting we owe. $100 of that was a dog deposit that was supposed to have been refunded when we left. These people are crooks. You should not represent them.

see comments above and I hope you pay attention and reply to this.

This room with two beds was awful. The room I had twice prior was fine. So I guess I have to take a single bed room???

Location, quiet, safe.

The room inside had gross neglect. missing drawer pulls, chips & missing paint on furniture, blood stain on lamp shade, no sink stopper, someone tried to fill spot in shower where a rather large fell out and looks like a three year old was allowed to “splatter”putty in it with their fingers, towel bar ripped off and under sink, sheets (flat on top and bottom) were for king and kept coming off. This is my third time staying. This time with two beds and a different room. This room was awful! The room I had the two prior times was much better. I can think of anything other than ants all three times. I know they are trying to update rooms and I’m trying to cut them some slack. However, I haven’t seen any changes in the last year.

Don't waste the money

Nothing

Broken sink and shower parts, terrible tube TV with xfinity, but there were no channels, and all the plugs were trashed. Also the mini fridge had no shelves.

Clean, nice staff. Nice pool.

Office under construction. Had to go to next motel to ask questions and the machines for drinks/snacks broken.

Just a regular motel. A place to lay your head down.

Location was convenient.

I didn’t like the loud water pump connected to the ac unit. It was very loud throughout the night. Also there was no continental breakfast. Pool should’ve opened a little early too.

Bad

Our room wasn't ready 2 hrs after check-in, they gave us a different room at their other motel next door, Gold Trail Motor Lodge. It was HORRIBLE!! The beds were uncomfortable, the toilet paper holder was broken, hanging off the wall, refrigerator was broken ac barely worked and there was NO hot water. I feel over charged, my body hurts from the bed, I will NEVER stay there again 🙃

If price and location matters this is a great place. Dont come here for comfort. Thanks

Great location, clean & quiet.

The beds are less than ideal. Only a thin blanket provided, no comforter in the middle of winter. Its clear they have done some renovations, new paint and the carpet was in decent condition but the mattresses were super old and even my light weight 12 year old could feel the springs. The handle was also missing a piece in the shower which made it challenging to use, but it did work.

Great experience in a very clean basic room that fit our needs perfectly.

Pleasantly surprised at how clean and nice this accommodation was. Chose it because of location to Apple Hill and low price. Didn’t expect it to be as charming as it was! Very pleased with our experience and would definitely be stay again!

Different accomidations next time.

We did like the location

When I booked it there was no mention of ongoing renovations. Had to check in at a different location. There was a stack of building materials outside our door. Office closed, no breakfast. The bed was uncomfortable. The mini fridge was noisy. The bathroom sink had no counter space. No place to hang clothes.

Hated every minute, will never refer and felt like I had to shower when I left.

The only thing I like was that it was near the venue we had to go to.

* cleaner, brighter, fresher smelling room. * give enough towels for two people without having to call for them * Don't make customers go to the next hotel to check in without any warning (especially when you get to your room and the key does not work and you have to return to the other hotel again. *When we got to our room the door was wide open which does not make you feel comfprtable *letting long term renters sit outside their room and spit all over the sidewalk is disgusting * broken hairdryer

Get what you pay for

It was cheap compared to other hotels in area. The room and it’s amenities reflected the lower cost.

In addition to the advertised rate, we were charged a $50 security deposit refundable after the hotel found your room undamaged. Says something about their usual customers.

I would have second thoughts about staying there again. There was only 2 motels,

the location was close to Highway 50 and the homes we were planning to visit.

Their air conditoner did NOT work well. The door latch did not work very well- we had to manually manipulate it. The security latch was nonfunctional. I made a reservation due to the swimming pool availability. They booked us in a room in the adjacent complex and I had to drive to the pool.
