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.

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.

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!

Welcoming staff but the property has not be upgraded since built in the 60's. The bedsprings were severed so my husband slept in a mattress bowl. Handprints on the doors, grime and just very dirty. I am disappointed but it happens.

Shower did not have hot water because handle was broken. Beds are so thin you can feel the springs. It's a tiny town so it's about as "motel" as it gets. The owner was nice.
