DO NOT STAY HERE! DISGUSTING!!
The room was absolutely disgusting! There was food in the fridge from previous people, the TV remote was sticky and coated with who knows what, insects in the bathroom and there was a smear of stool on the toilet seat. Almost everything in the room was broken. Drawers without handles and were literally falling out of the dressers, holes in the walls and the toilet paper holder was partially gone so the paper was just sitting on the top of the toilet. The Wi-Fi didn’t work and the beds and pillows were hard. Also, there was someone going up and down banging on the doors of rooms early in the morning making sleep impossible. My sister and I felt like we were going to get a disease staying in that room. Stay away from this place!!

This is not a bad hotel, the comforter on the bed takes you bad to the 80s so it has that nostalgic charm, but the place is very clean and rooms are in a great renovate condition new paint, and so on. Bathrooms are nice and big and clean as well. dont let the exterior of this place fool you, for a motor inn, it is 8.5/10

We have stayed multiple times at this motel. It's not fancy, but it's very clean and comfortable. The staff is always friendly. The location is very near Apple Hill and it's always a fun place to visit

The staff are very accommodating, VERY polite. Its an old school style motor lodge, so you park right in front of your room, which is great cuz Im disabled. The pool looked refreshing but i didnt get a chance to use. P.S. it appears they are

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 !!!

Found it a wee bit tricky to find my room, but I got it sorted out easy enough. The area seems to be a little more sketchy than I'd typically like, but honestly it's not bad. It's right off of hwy 50, so it's amazingly convenient.
The office staff were so polite it was refreshing. They do close the office at 11pm, so no late check ins.
The room itself is very clean, and the bathroom is newly renovated and shower works great. The AC works wonderfully.

Nicely kept place, but problem with hot water
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.

If you're looking for luxury, this is not the place for you. The rooms are TINY. The carpet and furnishings are completely old and outdated, and the rooms reek of old cigarette smoke. The bed is really hard and so are the pillows. There's also the bonus of having some resident crack heads in the room next to you, there's a sign taped to the door telling you so. The floors in the bathroom were filthy, i used a towel to wipe up some water, and towel turned black. Also there as no breakfast as advertised, and the ice machine didnt work If the place were cleaned up, carpet ripped out and replaced with LVP and old furnishings tossed, it could be a really cute inn to stay at. The price was good and it was located close to my destination. The ower/staff very friendly. But to have to climb over the bed to get to the bathroom is a lottle ridiculous.
