Small but Clean

The place is easy to find; rooms are simple, nothing fancy but clean. 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.

The shower was really nice! You can tell it's an older hotel, but they've definitely put a lot of work into updating things.
Morgan, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

Staff wasn’t the best, there was also a language barrier, it was also said breakfast was included but they said they don’t have that service.
Jessie, 3-night trip

Clean basic lodging
DAVID, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

We were worried it would be loud because it's close to the highway but we were pleasantly pleased that when we closed the door to our room it was very quiet. It's a simple little place but it was very clean and quiet. We would recommend this motel.

anthony, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great stay! We wanted an affordable place to stay after having a full day at apple hill and this place delivered. It was clean, comfortable and straight forward. The check in is at the motel next to it but it was super easy and literally right next door. Would recommend to friends!
Kara, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

I would not recommend this place. If Expedia wants to stay a reputable place they need to let this place go.
Teri Maria, 1-night trip

Old time motel! Swimming pool! In the mountains! Close to DT Placerville!
Derrick, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Nice older motel in very good condition. Very nice pool. Management was stingy regarding towels, pillows which seems quite unnecessary when you are paying more than $100/night.
Thomas, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Woman who checked us in was very polite. She even called us the next day after check out because we left our house keys in the room. I think we stayed in one of the newly renovated rooms which was clean, and comfortable. We come every year mid october. We will be back.
Felix, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

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.
