Key Highlights
-
Worth the Price
This place provides outstanding value for a two-star motel. Its cleanliness, pool, and in-room amenities all far exceed what one might expect at such a low price.
-
Service Quality
Friendly, efficient service in an unpretentious way, like an adequately family-run motor inn would have offered a pleasant, hassle-free check-in.
-
Location Quality
Great location if you are driving, very easy to find your way to Placerville, Apple Hill or base camp to the surrounding Gold Country.
-
Area & Access
The location is along some other highway businesses, so there isn’t much in the way of charm, but it’s safe and convenient.
-
Clean & Tidy
This motel carries one of the best reputations for cleanliness among lodging properties.
-
Breakfast Quality
Only a breakfast “to go” is somewhat mentioned, but it’s far better to be prepared to either make some coffee in the room or to visit one of the diners nearby.
-
Bed Comfort
Beds were clean and comfortable; all a road tripper needs to get a good night’s sleep.
-
Wi-Fi Experience
Free Wi-Fi in the room and around the area which actually is useful when planning your local sightseeing.
-
Interior Freshness
It has an authentic retro-Americana charm, and it’s not a slick, modern styled hotel but an older property that’s been pretty well kept.
-
Noise Level
The property is feet away from the highway, so they’re fairly quiet rooms, although very light sleepers may wish to stay in a room at the back of the building.
-
Long-Term Livability
Great value and proximity to local attractions make this a solid choice for multi-day stays, especially during the Apple Hill season.
-
Parking Convenience
Free, safe, and convenient park-at-your-door service is a welcome amenity that epitomizes the classic “motel experience.”
