Nice, clean place
We enjoyed our stay. Our room was nice and clean. The room was a little tight for 4 with the 2 queen beds but everything was comfortable and the room felt like new even though it has been a few years since it was renovated. Definitely worth the price we paid.

Nice motel. Clean and updated, safe area. Comfortable beds.
We needed a quiet place to stay after a concert in Lincoln before we continued to our next stop, a wedding in Tahoe. Foothill fit the bill. Close to the freeway but quiet.
Perfect place and reasonably priced.

Great Remodel
Very clean and great remodel! Perfect stopover for visiting friends up north. You can tell that they really did a thoughtful remodel: fresh paint and simple touches. Pool and bowling alley are added benefits. You get 10% off the bowling alley, food and drinks.

Good for a short stay.
For a short stay, the accommodations were great. But the walls were too thin. Our neighbors checked in after midnight and their conversing was too loud for us. Having light sleepers was in conflict with the loud talking. And having to get up in 5 hours was an effort in lost sleep even if the beds were comfy.

Stayed as a family of four for a quick overnight trip. The hotel has been recently remodeled and is a really cool mix of retro-modern. We really enjoyed this hotel and the onsite manager was super friendly and helped us out with what we needed. We will absolutely stay here again.
