It serves its purpose as an affordable place to crash when skiing for a night or two.

You get what you paid
You get what you paid… maybe a little less. The room is ok and there is microwave, coffee machine and mini fridge,. The heater was working fine and the receptionist is helpful and very polite.
However we got a non smoker room that was smelling like a cigarette. The towels also had a very strong smell of cigarette and bathroom floor was dirty. Didn’t expect this kind of basic issues in a motel and the experience was upsetting

cheap but dirty
the trash in the bathroom hadn't been emptied and it looked like there was a used adult diaper in there. I used the bath mat to dry up water in the main room from my boots and the mat came up solid black. the floor was filthy.
The walls were paper thin and even though I only shared a room with one other unit I could hear them talking very clearly all night.
Somehow there was a road immediately in front of AND behind my unit and traffic went up and down them all night long too.
The heater in the room couldn't keep up and the room was cold my whole stay.

Twain Harte visit.
Motel is typical of homes in the area. Old,rickety but quaint. Owner is very friendly. Room has all amenities such as microwave, Krueger coffee maker and frig as well as TV. Bathroom has very dirty rug and cabinet drawers dirty. But rest of room is clean and was sufficient for my 1 nite stay. Price was good. Overall i would stay again.

We checked in and were put in room 3. It was not acceptable so we asked front desk for a different room. They were polite and quickly gave us a new room which was more acceptable. The place is a bit old and run down but all in all it served its purpose for the price. Twain Harte is a cool little town, make a visit to Pinecrest Lake if you’re looking for some fun.

Cool vintage motor lodge. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Beds were comfortable enough for one night, but probably wouldn’t stay longer. Room was clean except for the floor… good Wi-Fi and very thankful that they had a generator since the power went out all night!

The desk manager was rude and yelled at a guest, and overcharged for the room, and charged a $100 deposit that was not listed or discussed until they charged the room on my card.. There was no mention that they were remodeling and walkways were taped off, and workers were making noise ourside early morning.
