Cosy room and really friendly staff. Parking right outside of your room door too. Powerful shower.
Cheyene
Love staying there. The hotel staff are excellent and very helpful.an as well as I love the pool
Jason
The staff is very friendly as always.It is an excellent stay housekeeping very much on par. Overall great sleep
Brian
Great staff and great rooms. Beds are on the firm side and I had to get some extra pillows but overall a great experience. Hot water and great water pressure. Now if you’re expecting a 5 star resort go somewhere else. This is an old school motel. Single level with drive up parking right to the door. Only major downfall is the WiFi is slow and tv channels are finicky and sometimes non operational. But for the price it’s a great deal.
Stephanie
The smell of cigarette smoke in the room was awful.
Also found left over food on floor between nightstand and bed

Poor service and conditions.
Hannah
The room was clean very out dated the electrical plugs where burnt didn’t seem safe. I had a non smoking room and it smelled of stale cigarettes. The staff was wonderful though.
Tami
We booked here because there would be a breakfast every morning and they had a pool. I turned out that the pool was not yet open for the season... it would have been nice to know that.
Breakfast does not start until 8am. Which seems fairly absurd considering the main thing to do around here is outdoorsy stuff and people want an early start. We had to leave at 7:30 both days of our stay so we didn't get to enjoy that amenity either.
The room was fairly spacious but everything was pretty run down. The area behind the beds was not well swept. They do not clean the rooms every day which is another amenity I enjoy when staying at a motel so that was sort of a disappointment. The rooms do have a coffee maker, microwave, and good sized mini fridge.
The front desk clerk was very nice and helpful. She let me borrow a bottle opener for the night when I needed one. She got us new towels with no problem.
We were on a tight budget for this trip and you get what you pay for I guess. I just wish they hadn't advertised some amenities that were not actually available or were limited.

I understand that this motel was recently renovated, which we appreciated! Front desk staff were super friendly. The whole process was seamless. Free breakfast included milk, coffee, cereal, bread and condiments. We usually stay in an Airbnb for skiing, but since the power was out at many establishments in the Pinecrest area, we chose this motel and would come back if we don’t happen to have an Airbnb lined up! Sonora is a convenient location to the snow that’s not actually in the snow.

Quite & clean. Vintage motel, but worked well. Pet friendly.

It was a one night stay with my kids and husband on our way to Yosemite. We got there around 9 PM and saw four guys hanging out by the dumpster right when we enter into the parking lot of the hotel. The room was very basic which we were aware of. But the pungent smell wouldn’t go away for hours. And the middle of night they were you guys hanging outside chatting away. I couldn’t sleep at all. I will not recommend to anybody traveling with their family.
Gary
Older hotel with lots golf potential but needs a remodel. Lamp and nightstand were wobbly. Plugs didn’t work by bed.
Verified traveler
Checking in was great as we entered the room the smell was extremely awful. The room was infested with fly's and gnats. After speaking to the manager, she offered us a another room. The second room was just as bad. the stench was almost untorerable, the flys

Small dirty room. Definitely won’t stay here again. Almost asked for a refund to sleep in my car for the night. Yea that bad
Alexi
Convenient and cozy for how old it is. Nice location. Only issues were the bathroom was not the cleanliness and we found a piece of trash under the bed. Otherwise, it was nice stay.
Dana
Better Than Expected
Better than I expected. Older and definitely not fancy, but comfortable. I felt safe staying there alone. They were nice. It was clean.

Room and bedding smelled like cigarette smoke.

I was super satisfied with the staff here, they are all sweet people, and they have breakfast. I’ll definitely be coming back soon! Made me and my husband super comfortable and the bed was like being on a cloud! Thank you so much to the staff y’all rock
Angel
Mold in bathroom. Cob webs in room and all over outside of building. Yelling and fighting a few doors down. Complimentary breakfast was a joke. Was not worth $100 a nite!
Rosa
Our stay was great, the staff was great and friendly and we were welcome with open arms.

The staff is super! They are very kind. This place allows pets.Our lock on our door needs to be fixed. I had to jiggle the key over and over to unlock the room door.
Odelia
Exterior was unkept, trash at entrance walkway. Noisy, because of pets (dogs) barking and attacking other pets. ( Owner of pet appeared to not have pet under control). Guest knocked on door twice around 2-3 am. However, front desk service was very nice.
Iris
Older style hotel with actual key locks. The floor was filthy so no bare feet. Everything else was great.

Chirping from a smoke detector all night and construction started in the room next to me first thing in the morning. I have stayed here almost every week for a few months and never experienced this.
Sai Chaithanya
Cleanliness is not there , no housekeeping. breakfast is average. Needs renovation . can hear neighbors voice.
Joann
Room 15
Need to replace brown cabinet in room. Toilet seat needs to be tied down. Bedspread has to be replaced with one with no holes in it. The room smells like smoke.
Bryon
The staff was great and the room itself wasn’t bad at all. Except the heater was very very old and didn’t really work. But the outside the problem. There a front and back to this place one long single story motel. Front is ok but the speedbymbs will mess your car up should put better ones in .the back tho is long row of bushes and all inside are numbs just living there.and nobody cares . Overall ok place to stay. But lock your car and don’t leave your room unlocked
Gene
Some units need maintenance (Shower, Toilet).
Chris
This property is nothing like advertised. It is run down dirty and falling apart. The area of town is less than desirable. I am suprised Expedia lists this property
J
The community of people in the area are very friendly, it was safe and a quiet place to sleep. Local food spots were close by and areas we visited where only 30mins away. Perfect place for our small family to stay.
Daniel
Would stay again
Was a nice quiet place for the night
Katherine
We used the room for the groom and his groomsmen to get ready for a wedding. The location of the wedding was the fairgrounds and this motel was perfect (across the street). It is an older motel, but was clean.
raul
Noisy. Second rate motel with extremely cheap furniture, amenities.
Greg
There was garbage and old furniture just sitting in the parking lot for everyone to see and it looked like it had been there for a while and water drips got on the floor from the shower and when I wiped it up the towel got gross from the dirty floor.
Jess
Run down accommodations
The room has no available outlets except one in the bathroom which will not hold a plug, the plug just falls out.
The shower head is on a hose and there is no holder for it to be on the wall.
The sheet had cigarette burn holes in it, no mattress cover underneath.
The air conditioner was a mess, had to fiddle with it several times to get it to work, then turn it back on again and again.
Bugs in the bathroom, no counter at all.
Front toor had light shining through the sides and bottom, was really hard to open and the lock was finicky.
Window shades did not give privacy, you could see out and see in.
The hotel is pretty rundown, hate to give negative feedback but it’s accurate.

My pup had a small round blue pill in her mouth..glad I saw it immediately! No telling what it was! No hair dryer. Stale pastries.
Lotsa homeless and drugs all around. Looked like most live there on the premises…

Get away trip.
Nice and cozy, comfortable, very quiet, some minor issues but it got resolve immediately. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Melissa was AWESOME 👍. Clyde to main attractions, shopping and dining.
Robert
2 refrigerators in room and only 1 worked. Phone wasnt plugged in but wires everywhere. View from bathroom window was a junk yard. Bathroom door shimmed oddly and didnt fit door jam, and door was stained badly. Big holes in wall. Graffiti on ground near front door. Plugs didnt work. Exposed fuses from open sub panel. Ice cream left in fridge from previous guest. Looks to be a place for illegal activity based on guys on bicycles going in and out of property. Staff was friendly, cable TV was great, and bed was comfortable. Not recommended.
Verified traveler
Homeless, people hanging out on property, smoke alarm beeped constantly, lots of garbage and abandon vehicles on backside of property. When 1st drove up property looked cute, went around back and was disappointed.
Victoria
Good AC but difficult to reach AC unit. Room # 40. Faucet wouldn’t turn off easily. No hot water in sink. Cigarette burns in the sheets. Vagabond camping out In parking area with 3 barking dogs that terrified my dog. She was an awful nuisance but clearly having problems. Way overpriced given poor condition of rooms. Won’t stay there again.
victor
Extremely dirtry, a lot of people just standing outside doing drugs. Once I drive to my room a few strangers followed me to my room. I decided to cancel and a couple that was standing in the front started using profanity and tried to pick a fight for no reason
Doreen
Nice, helpful staff. Bed was uncomfortable. Lots of transient people hanging around.

Dirty
The bathroom floor, walls and shower looked really dirty. Wall A/C covered in dust. So hot in room but didn’t turn it on. No screens on windows so didn’t open or bugs get in. Unpleasant stay. Left early. Showed and wash all my clothes when I got home. Felt dirty.

Klasse Motel für die Durchreise, nette Managerin, die sich beim Frühstück noch dazu gesetzt hat und für einen kleinen Plauderei Zeit hatte.

The air conditioner didn't work and there was a couple of burnt Stuff the plugs didn't work either

Awful dirty noises dump
Shanna
The bed was comfy and the sheets were nice, the staff friendly. That’s all that was good.
Ryan
Get what you pay for.
The staff was friendly. And that was about it for the good. The internet is horrible, the clear coat on the floor was peeling up everywhere and ended all of my things. Just everywhere really, a bunch of Druggies hanging out and being loud during the early AM hours.(12-3) people fighting outside. If you’re out there Methin around. It may be the spot for you. But I would never stay there with my family.
Chris
Great ppl n great service.
Michael
OK Could've been better.
Was warm and comfortable. However, I am tired of hotels not cleaning rooms on a regular basis. After working hard all day and into the evening it was a hassle to go and ask for clean towels. The office was not open in the morning early enough to make the exchange before heading out to work. I really it would have been nice to have cleaners come in while we are at work to do all this rather than expecting their customers to be unpaid labor.
Stephanie
The staff was great
Wendy
Terrible experience
The room smell was overwhelming when we opened the door. It smelled like cigarette smoke. We asked for another room and that one was even worse. We opened all the windows. The bed and pillows smelled of smoke. It was awful. We did not sleep well. The bathroom sink was kind of clean.
Marylou
It's an old kind'of establishment but it's well-kept and and comfortable to stay and the best part is the who I think
Bernard
So,so conditions.
My face cloth was dirty, room had no heat at all. Bedside lamps did not work. Doors had no weather stripping cold air leaked in,
Jim
The check-in person was not experienced and did not know how to check us in. And then they ended up keeping our deposit as we had put the deposit in cash so they ended up keeping all the deposit would not recommend this for anyone at all. Wanted to speak to the manager, but there was no manager on duty at 11 AM..
