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.

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.

Dear Tongming and Faith,…read more I am writing to express my sincere appreciation for the exceptional experiences we have had at Harmony Ridge Lodge over the past five years. Nestled in the Tahoe National Forest, your lodge remains our favorite getaway and truly feels like a home away from home. Every visit is spectacular, and the service we receive is always outstanding. We especially enjoy the serene atmosphere of the whimsical gardens and the comfort of the nine spacious suites. Having access to the entire lodge--including the front lounge and the kitchen for cooking meals and hosting karaoke--makes our annual two-night stay incredibly special and seamless. We are consistently impressed by your dedication, professionalism, and hospitality. You both go above and beyond to make us feel like family, and the intimate experience you provide is unmatched. Thank you for maintaining such a safe and pleasant retreat. We look forward to many more visits and will continue to highly recommend the lodge to anyone looking for a perfect venue for weddings, retreats, or family getaways.

The staff was amazing, from the venue tour to booking, helping with any and everything the day of and just all around amazing people that work there. They cooked breakfast for our whole crew both mornings and there was not one complaint from any of our guests. Lots of drink options which I love, they have coffee, orange juice, a huge variety of tea, milk, something for everybody. The day went on without one issue, I am very type A and their response time was amazing throughout the whole process and especially on day of! I can't recommend this place enough. We also went back and stayed the night on our one year anniversary and it was covered in snow, absolutely beautiful!

However, the detachment of the employees and the seeming inability to connect with guests is a little offputting for the price. The front desk staff rarely make eye contact and don't smile at all, but get the job done. Perhaps this is true to historic character? Our room had two double beds and was surprisingly large. We visited during the heat of the summer, but the air conditioning worked well and we were comfortable when in our room and throughout the hotel. However, there is no mirror in the bedroom - only the bathroom mirror and there is very little counter space, only the nightstand in the room. No counter space in the bathroom, either. If you would like ice in your room. You must go down to the bar and request it from one of the bartenders when the bar is open. Not very convenient. The hotel has wonderful historic charm with various sitting areas both inside and out. Along with the jurors c charm comes no elevators, so bear that in mind when packing. The parking lot behind the hotel enters on the second level, which can be helpful when checking in. I don't think we will stay here again, particularly for the price, but it was a fun experience for the "historical" setting.

I am giving it 3 stars because we rented a room for 3, and what we got was something barely big enough for two. Our room had two beds(one was tucked into the wall) with no closet, one small hook on a door and one luggage stand. Nowhere to store 3 people's stuff at all. There was a single chair, and two tiny bedside tables. No issues with the bathroom, which was spacious and nice. I was told it was "like a hotel room", but I don't agree. Awkward and cramped for 3 humans. Besides sitting outside, there was no literally nowhere for us to play cards, or eat takeout food. Nice place overall, but I felt a bit duped. We were literally instructed to not post to yelp unless it was five stars and to write them directly, but when I saw another review echoed my experience I just had to.

We booked Room 2 at The Parsonage expecting a traditional bed-and-breakfast stay in a historic…read morehome. The property is listed as a B&B on several platforms, the website features breakfast imagery, and the booking form asks for dietary restrictions, so we reasonably assumed breakfast and access to common areas were part of the experience. Instead, Room 2 functions more like a small private room rental with limited access to the house. We were surprised to learn upon arrival that we did not have access to the main house common areas. For us, shared spaces are a major part of what makes staying in a bed and breakfast enjoyable. The room itself was also extremely small. With a queen bed and a twin bed in the room, there was essentially no space to move around comfortably and no seating area at all. For three guests, there was nowhere to sit except on the beds, and simply walking around the room was difficult due to the tight layout. Breakfast was also not served. Two muffins were left for us despite the reservation being for three guests, and despite the booking form asking for dietary restrictions. We have stayed at many bed and breakfasts over the years throughout California--both coastal and wine country--and the experiences we've loved have always included warm hospitality, welcoming hosts, shared spaces to relax in, and memorable breakfasts. The common thread in these stays is that guests are encouraged to enjoy the home itself, interact with hosts, and relax in shared spaces. That sense of hospitality and atmosphere is the reason we choose B&Bs. While the building at The Parsonage is historic, Room 2 itself felt very modern and generic rather than reflecting the character of a historic inn. To be fair, the owners later pointed out that the website includes a detailed description and a floor plan showing the limited access for Room 2. However, we found the wording easy to misinterpret when booking, particularly given the B&B categorization, breakfast imagery on the site, and the dietary restriction field in the booking form. At approximately $280 for the night (including a $50 fee for a third guest), the experience did not match what we personally expect from a bed-and-breakfast stay. This room may work fine for travelers who simply want a small private room and plan to spend most of their time out in town. However, for guests specifically seeking the hospitality, shared spaces, and atmosphere that typically define a bed-and-breakfast experience, Room 2 may not meet those expectations.
