I went to call the front desk only to find out our hotel phone had no plug. I had to walk down to the front desk for supplies. There was a moldy coffee pod in the machine and under the bed hadn't been vacuumed in months. Gross! Key cards don't work on side doors so staff props them open with rocks. Are room didn't feel secure. Housekeepers were wearing daisy dukes with their tees tied up expososing their whole mid-section. Completely unprofessional.

You would think that after two years of terrible reviews, the owner(s) would do something about the…read morestaff. This has been my worst experience with Best Western and I stay at them regularly for business. I have a shower at home so when I travel, I ONLY book hotels with hot tubs and a bathtub in the room. This BW had neither or at least could not accommodate. As disappointing as that was, no big deal. However, I did arrive a day early to finish my work in the business center like I have many times before. To my disappointment, the only computer they had was non-operational. The memory was so full it could not even open a web browser. I tried for an hour to make it work. At this point my dismay was obvious, and rather than suggest an alternative computer or a place that I could finish my work. The manager offered to cancel my reservation without charge but I declined. Things continued to go downhill from there... from foreign hairs in my shower to old coffee left in the machine. The pool being filthy with bugs inside and out of it. My friend skimmed the entire pool before we used it. I also got the eye roll when I asked for pool towels, and when I asked if they wanted me to leave them in my room or prefer the bin near the pool, the man at the front desk said they were not even aware there was a towel bin in the pool area. While we were swimming, a woman kept watching us from her window with distaste and talking to herself or on the phone. After swimming, that same woman banged on our floor (her ceiling) then called the front desk for a noise complaint when my nephew (who is five) fell off the bed and started crying. When they left, I went to the front desk to talk about it and the same guy refused to get up from his chair. He asked if I was checking in even though we had multiple conversations and when I said no, he asked what I needed.. while staying seated behind the wall. I told him I came to talk to him but never mind and went back to my room. He was too lazy to even stand at the desk to greet customers, let alone smile or have any personability. So far all the staff I have spoken to or observed are either ignorant or incompetent. There is of course more but this review too long already. The hotel is new so the decore and furniture is still nice but it's just not enough to come back. If you're staying in Colfax, save yourself the disappointment and go to Best Western in Auburn. To the owner(s), EVALUATE YOUR STAFF AND HIRE PEOPLE WITH PERSONALITY AND EXPERIENCE or your business will continue to disappoint and destroy the brand. You may be independently owned but you should still uphold the BW standards. **Update** It's been three days now. I have yet to receive any room service, not even fresh towels, and the trash cans are full. The power has also been off for a couple hours now and the back up generator is not working. My room is pitch back. On a brighter note, I finally met a member of staff that was good at their job and handled a tough situation with courtesy and professionalism. Savannah is delightful, knowledgeable, and experienced. They need to hire more like her.

Cute place that was probably great in its heyday, but now, it Needs Some Work!!…read more Our stay at Sierra Woods Lodge was...okay, but definitely not somewhere I would recommend in its current condition. We had contacted them ahead of time about a late check-in, and when we arrived, they had already made our keys and left them under the mat for us, which was convenient. They were extremely nice and friendly! Our room was all the way at the bottom of a rickety little boardwalk and down some old, shaky stairs. Which is okay, but made me wonder how the rooms were as clearly there had been no maintenance done on the outside of this lodge... As we walked down, we noticed that pretty much everyone had their windows open, and we could see directly into their rooms with people lying on their beds. Once we got into our room, we understood why...it was around 100 degrees inside! There was no air conditioning, just two fans running at full speed with the window open, and it was still unbearably hot. We could barely tolerate it. The carpet throughout the room was extremely sticky, to the point that I wouldn't even take my shoes off. The shower in the morning also wasn't very clean and was generally pretty gross...wore my flip flops in... I think this place could actually be decent with a few improvements. Replacing the old, sticky carpet with hardwood or another easy-to-clean flooring, giving the rooms a thorough cleaning, and adding air conditioning or even a mini-split...would make a huge difference. Unfortunately, as it is now, I wouldn't recommend staying here.

Pros: The motel is kitschy, rustic, and a decent value for the price especially compared to everything closer to the ski resorts. The junior suite was spacious and well equipped. Beds were comfy with a heavy comforter Heat was sufficient Back yard area has a fire pit (not for winter) and seating, lots of snow for the kiddos There's a restaurant attached but it's just ok - still, a major convenience if the weather is rough Cons: Parking lot and walkways were pretty covered with ice and not shoveled out well - I know they had a big storm the day before but it was hard to park and get small kids down to our room which was down a few flights of outdoor stairs One of the sinks had weird tasting water - the other did not, so I don't think this is just the local water Upstairs noise from footsteps or plumbing is very apparent - light sleepers beware.

Happy vibes here with an outdoor garden area and lots of seating even lounge chairs. In front of each room is also a table and two chairs for dining al fresco. Pretty spot though you hear the traffic going by when outside. Inside the room it is faint. I liked that my room was one level (nobody upstairs). However, I had a neighbor in the next room who got up at 5am and was heavy footed and had a dog. The noise they made traveled into my room. They woke me up and kept me awake way before I planned to get up. Noise level depends on who ends up next to you. Luckily they were not there for my entire stay. The room was just right and I like the way it looked and the covenience of a kitchen with a full size fridge and stove top and microwave. I bring my own pans. I am glad because I didn't like the pans in the room. I appreciated that the fridge didn't make hardly any noise. Less than mini fridges in most hotels!! Bed was comfortable and management was reachable via text message and provided information via texts that was helpful. Beautiful trees on property and I liked that behind my room was left unmowed-good for nature and made it private. I also loved that the windows opened (four windows in the room (on both sides). I'd definitely stay at The Pines Inn again.

Upon first arrival we saw the place had festive Halloween decorations, which I love. Tony immediately came out and greeted us, then directed us to where to park. He then gave us a quick tour of our room, then gave us a tour of the rest of the outside areas. I love how personal Tony was and his genuine enthusiasm in showing his establishment. After we had settled in, we were able to inspect the cottage and it was ideal for two people. Everything was exceptionally clean. The kitchen had utensils, dinnerware, and cookware. The bathroom was also in good condition. The only inconvenience encountered was from my husband (as he is a tall individual) that the toilet area was slightly cramped. We were told that our rooms bed was just upgraded to a king size. Let me tell you, that bed was big and ridiculously comfortable. We both slept so good, we couldn't stop talking about how comfortable it was. As we left for dinner the ambiance of the place was truly enchanting. The beautiful lights created a magical environment, and the canopy with the projector added to the inviting atmosphere. He had kindly opened some wine for us, and we helped ourselves to it upon our return. Tony asked us before he left, what we would like for breakfast. I opted for toasted bagel w/ cream cheese & honey yogurt. My husband asked for avocado toast with fresh fruit. The next morning, he delivered our breakfast to our room. To say we were shocked at how good and fresh everything was, would be an understatement. We certainly plan to visit again in the future. Thank you, Tony, for your wonderful hospitality.

The gentleman who checked us in was pleasant and humorous. The small garden, fountain, etc were wonderful touches. While it's probably only a shadow of its former 50's road trip glory days, it was a welcome surprise to find it well cared for. The only issue was that the window above the bed had no window screen and the window in the "kitchen " alcove had no window covering. A street runs right outside this window thus a privacy curtain is needed. A very easy walk to the old town center with lots of tourist trap shops and a few nice eateries.

The room had everything we needed, including fresh-ground coffee to brew--not the typical packaged hotel coffee--which we really appreciated. And the complimentary breakfast was amazing! Fresh-made omelets with real eggs and your choice of delicious ingredients like bacon and fresh vegetables, along with an impressive selection of fresh fruit including bananas, kiwi, and grapefruit. There were also plenty of breads, oats, cereals, and other breakfast choices. We were only able to stay for one night, but we honestly wished we could have stayed longer. The Courtyard Suites was comfortable, welcoming, conveniently located, and exceeded our expectations.
