Air conditioning is a boon for a hot weekend in the Sierras. Room is large and fairly clean. It's a decent comfortable stay. The property is well maintained.

This is the epitome of the old fashioned motor lodge i remember from childhood. If you're looking for a concierge or a Marriott you're in the wrong place. The real draw here is the price. For a clean room with a good size fridge and microwave, you.pay less than $50 per night.

Quaint hotel from the 50’s the freeway is right close but the place has been updated with double pain windows. The whole town is a short walk from the hotel, TJ’s is on the same lot and has great food.

I often drive between the Bay and Reno NV for work and personal reasons. Last night I was too tired after a long day of working and stopped off as Colfax is about midway. I was pleasantly surprised, quick check-in and a comfortable bed. Good night sleep made the morning drive a breeze. Will stop in again when traveling if needed.

Theres no continental breakfast., no swimm8ng pool for hot days. negative ... but there are places to eat breakfast. Dine and dash you need to get in your car, but TJs Roadhouse is 100 ft away. Other small places to eat across the street and downtown. Mama's kitchen downtown for quick breakfast like muffins, pastries Very pet friendly. Extra charge of course. Small outdoor area with table & chairs. Its a very old motel but comfortable. Have stayed twice.

Super helpful staff. Clean room and premises. Everything worked as it should have. This is a very reasonable older single story motel that is well kept up and managed very well without those ------- resort fees for nothing. Very reasonably priced in todays market. A lot like the 40's, through 60's motels found along Route 66 across the Southwest and Route 99 in the San Joaquin Valley. For the traveler who wants a good nights sleep in a clean room at a great price without all the fancy design, furniture, and crap - THIS PLACE IS GREAT!

This motel is very nice. Its simple and works well. You have restaurants close by across the street along with a grocery store ...starbucks close and gas station. All within walking distance. Very convenient. I stayed for 2 nights. Staff was very accommodating and friendly. I would plan to stay there again. The downside is that the freeway noise is loud with the big trucks in the middle of the night. But theres nothing anyone can do about that. Its on the interstate 80 corridor. Nice little town. Thank you staff. It was nice for me MB
