Burn mark on bathroom counter

DO NOT STAY HERE! I have stayed at many motels over the years when needing a cheap place to stay, but this was NOT worth our money. We stayed in room 7, which is a tiny rectangle of a room right next to the storage room. You can see daylight under the door, and it snowed. Very cold! We were afraid to use the space heater because there was no smoke detector or CO alarm. The tv was tiny and best viewed from the toilet. Speaking of the bathroom, black fingerprints and smudges all over the walls and ceilings and towels... and it had this sickly sweet chemical smell the longer we stayed in there. Is this what meth smells like?! The woman at check in was pleasant enough, but I should have known walking into the office and being confronted by old stale cigarette smoke that this would not be a clean and safe place to stay. We stayed two nights and kept getting awakened by noises from the neighbors and cars coming and going all night. Heard a car speed away at 4am and we ran to the window to make sure it wasn't our truck being stolen! Dirty, thins sheets, squeaky spring mattress.. it was not a good weekend. The bed spread has weird black hairs all over the foot of it... I slept in my clothes! I think this is the kind of place you go if you have no other choices. Maybe all of the good reviews here are because this was a better option than outside?! Do yourself a favor, stay somewhere else! We could have had an air bnb for the same price, but we wanted to support a local business... Never again!

Proof of my MIL payment shame on them

I was really hoping to not have to take it to this level, but the management at this establishment literally just told me that they had no intention on even following up with me about this situation.. so... Terrible stay! Reserved for August 3-5th for my MIL to celebrate her birthday after my hubs and I had had a semi-decent stay there for one evening, short notice, previously. Given that the place was kinda cute, clean, and relatively inexpensive, when she mentioned she would like to see the local Elvis impersonator for her birthday, I quickly obliged her and set up to have her stay two evenings at said establishment. She checked out, on her own accord, on Sunday evening, a full day before she was supposed to. She said it was not a friendly or safe feeling establishment and that she was extremely uncomfortable from the front desk manager. Back story in a nut shell: I scheduled this two weeks in advance of the reservation via Expedia.com (as I previously had used) and paid with my card as a birthday gift. Her only obligation for the weekend was to be the $100 refundable motel deposit. Not only did they insist on taking payment in full from my MIL ($199.34 + additional $100 deposit), but also DOUBLE charged my account! When I spoke with the mystery front desk woman (she literally NEVER states her name nor does she wear a name tag... but was very happy to let me know that she has been the manager for the past 6 years) she told me that there was no record of payment on her side. I offered an email confirmation to show the not one, but two pending charges from my account for $199.34. She received it, was absolutely lost for knowledge of what to do (she even told me that this has "literally never happened before") reasonably embarrassed, and requested she contact her manager. I stated this was acceptable so long as my MIL did not have a problem checking in as it was very important to me that she go there to RELAX and have a nice 74th Birthday. Not so nice. After I was assured by mystery staff manager lady that there would be no problem with her checking in, I requested she leave me a detailed message upon call back if I did not answer. It was Saturday night and I was busy, understandably. Fast forward 5 minutes and I receive the call assuring me my funds would be back in my account by Monday (today) and I let the issue go. I receive call from MIL around 9 pm, at which time she informs me that the front desk manager girl only let her Checkin by paying in full, even though they already took payment from me x 2. So here it is Monday and this total of $398.68 is still pending on my account (see photo that the establishment apparently isn't educated enough to understand) and anyone who uses checking accounts knows a pending transaction comes out of your account until reconciled by the banks. So basically they have stolen almost $400 from my account - without even receiving a credit card authorization form from me that the rude ignorant front desk lady said she must get from me prior to charging.... ? So why then did I get charged at all in the first place?? The owner can't even take the time to call.

The "HELLDORADO MOTEL" is the most filthy and disgusting motel I have ever stayed at in my 69 years on earth!! I booked 3 rooms for Saturday 03/09/24 as I had a construction project I was working on nearby. One room for my son and his wife and one room for my 2 workers.. I decided to stay in Twain Harte one day earlier, 03/09/24, than everyone else in my crew so I could ready things for the construction project. Friday, when I walked into the room I saw the walls had not been painted in years and the drapes were old and worn. I also saw the room was heated by a plug in space heater. That didn't bother me too much at the time so I decided to make the best of a 2 night stay. That evening I took my shoes off to prepare to shower and beneath my feet I felt a dirty gritty feeling beneath my feet on the floor. I walked around the bed and to the bathroom and I felt the same gritty feeling all over the room. I grabbed a towel and dry wiped the floor shaking the towel contents into the bathroom sink (photo 1). I then wet the towel and wiped the floor with photo 2 showing the results. I had to wipe the entire motel room floor 4 times rinsing the towel each time to remove the dirt and filth from the floor. As I wiped the floor, I looked under the bed and photo 3 shows what I found beneath the bed!!! So at 10pm I go to the office and speak with the male manager to tell him about the dirt covered floor and filth I found under the bed. He apologizes and promises the room will be cleaned and will be spotless for my next night stay. Suspicious about the rest of the rooms cleanliness, I started to look for more filth and grime. Photo 4 shows the dirty microwave which had some sort of uncleaned spillage. Photo 5 shows liquid marks on the nightstand from someone else's previous stay. Photo 6 shows the disgusting and filthy shower!! In addition to this dirt nightmare, I plug in the coffee maker to make a cup of coffee and a fuse blows due to the over loaded electrical circuit.. Now I am in darkness!! Another trip to the office to have the manager reset the blown circuit!! After all this I crawl into a bed with a worn out mattress that has springs you can feel on your back and squeaking noise each time I moved!! No refund or offer to change the room was ever made and please read about my son's experience, Matthew M. In my opinion, the Heldorado Motel is unfit for human habitation and should be closed down. I have seen cleaner homeless encampments than the Helldorado Motel!!

queen bed blanket

If this is a 1 star hotel then would have given it a 3 star review. Unfortunately, the 'superior family room' should be labeled "inferior". 1. Famil with child, 1st time stay 2. Request a unit closer to the office 3. Put into a unit attached to the office that shouldn't have been offered to paid guest. It feels like it was a staff quarter. 4. Main queen bed mattress felt well aged and spring sounds heard while getting into and out of bed. 5. Blanket had a Cig. burn. 6. Would give 5 star for location. Again, if hotel rating is 1-star, then expectation set and wouldn't be as disappointed.

In short; Simple, no frills, cozy little motel. We stayed here for 1 night after a fun day tubing at Leland Snow Park this weekend. Our room was set up with 2 queen beds, which were comfortable and clean. The inside of the room was nice with what seems to be a fairly updated bathroom and hardwood flooring. The smart TV allowed for us to watch plenty of movies for the kids. Staff was friendly and I enjoy the small town feeling here. Very close to Pizza Factory and the market, which was perfect for us. Thank you for a good night's stay.

The hanging door frame with exposed nails.

Unsafe, Dirty, and Overpriced I stayed in this motel for two nights in Feb 2022. The reservation was for a Premium Queen Room and was made about a month before the stay. I found the room to be far from Premium; it did not qualify for an ordinary or usual room. The conclusion is based on the following observations: A. The lock of the room door had glitches. It was hard to lock or unlock the door. B. The frame of the room door was coming off. There were a lot of nails exposed. C. There were two electric panels with holes on them and exposing the inside. D. The switch of the nightstand lamp was broken. E. The room was dirty. F. The bathroom sink and the toilet were small. G. The rug in the bathroom was not clean. H. The shower cubicle was dirty I. The room was right next to a busy road and very noisy. Based on the above observations I think that the room was overpriced and unsafe. 1. Overpriced: A subpar room was sold as "premium". In no way, the price is fair based on the conditions of the room. 2. Unsafe: With the exposed nails and the exposed electric outlets, the room was unsafe in multiple ways. I reported this to the front office multiple times. However, despite reporting this multiple times, no actions were taken. Even after the stay, the attempts to discuss this topic with the motel management over the telephone have been unsuccessful. Thank you for reading this far.

CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN!!! Super soft white sheets and soft towels ! Did I mention clean? The lady at check-in was nice. The pool looks cute. Pine trees surrounding it and the hot tub. Nice sitting areas outside. Coffee. Microwave. Little fridge. CLEAN!! Will be back:)

Grateful for pet friendly establishments!

In an attempt to get away from the East Bay smoke this weekend we decided on a trip west. Initially the plan was to stay in Sonora but the pet friendly options that were available seemed a bit sketchy so when we stopped for food in Oakdale we looked at other places and the El Dorado seemed like it would work out just fine. I cannot say enough good things about Adrienne who greeted us warmly despite us arriving after office hours (it was just after 10pm). She was so kind and cheerful and let us know to not be shy using the heater as it was pretty cold that evening. The bed was super comfortable and the room was very nice and clean. I would say the only "downside" is that the floors were really cold but as a pet friendly establishment it makes sense that there would be no carpeting or rugs so I get it, just bring socks! Also, let them know somehow that you are coming with a pet, the app I booked through didn't have a place to indicate that and it created a tiny bit of confusion when we arrived. It wasn't an issue just required a second trip to the office to sign the pet agreement and pay the most reasonable pet fee I've ever encountered, $16.50. If we are ever back this way, we'll definitely stay here again.

Clean floors?  I guess they wanted you to wear shoes inside so they can charge you for putting your dirty feet on the beds.

The good: hotel was cute, small but functional (hot shower was nice). The bad: upon check in... curiously, the host spent more time talking about ways to loose our $200 deposit ($100 for our pet and $100 for the room). After our stay we were accused of letting our dog sleep on the bed and they were going to keep our deposit. Uhh I explained a 110lb Rottweiler has no business on furniture at our home let alone when it could cost me money. The hair on the sides of the bed was from the dog walking around them. Not from a dog laying on them. Then they wanted to keep $40 for a dirty hand towel. We were on the road back home and they called and we were told that we had make up on the hand towel. I told him my wife doesn't wear make up. Maybe it was chocolate from my kid who didn't was here hands well enough and dried them on a white towel. I said sorry, it will wash out. He explained that he has to pay extra labor to his staff to take out satins. I told him one hand towel isn't worth $40, so he dropped the ask to $20 for the labor. I asked how many hours does it take to wash a stain out of a hand towel. He said that's what it takes as he has to justify this extra time to his owners. I told him we'd be charging him for our dirty socks because the vinyl floors were disgustingly dirty had obviously not been mopped for a while. He said why didn't you complain? Well, newsflash! Some people aren't complainers. Plus what is someone going to do? Mop our room while we sit outside at 7 pm after checking in when it is 35 degrees outside? So, this is your warning future guests. Don't use any towels in the hotel room unless you want to pay for it. Don't bring a dog in your room unless it's hairless and if you

Breakfast had cheese omelettes, French toast-sticks, cereal, juice & fresh fruit. All tasty! The location is close to the freeway, but tucked away on a side street that is private. Because of that, it's much more quiet than the hotels along the Main Street in Sonora (15 minutes away). It is an hour and a half to Hetch Hetchy Dam, 15 minutes to Culver's Apple Farm in Tuolumne City, 8 minutes to Columbia and 3 miles from the BESTsourdough bread you EVER ate, from Two Acre Farms! Fantastic location. If I had 10 thumbs, I would hold them ALL up for this hotel! Truly a great stay!

Review #160 - 2020…read more This review was previously written as a 3-star, but then my son came home and realized a few days later that he had forgotten his $200 Ferragamo belt in one of the drawers. Normally, my son shares a room with his younger sister and I; but since his cousins begged him to stay with them, he couldn't say no. If he'd stayed in the same room as us, he would've never forgotten anything because I always tell him to double check everything. He called the owner on Thursday, August 27th, and the owner said he had the belt in his possession. Thank goodness! The owner told us that he would mail it to us--as long as I provided my credit card info to pay for the shipping fee (which I had no problem with), but he didn't know when he would have the time to head to the post office. Fast forward to Monday, August 31st, and the belt arrived safely in our mailbox! Talk about staying on top of it! The hotel may be a 3-star stay, but customer service is definitely 10-star worthy! Thank you!!! ---------------------------------------------- I previously booked a cabin for 12 people about two months ago and as our trip drew near, the group size grew to 16 people so the cabin owner had to cancel our reservation the day before our trip. I was pretty disappointed because all my nieces and nephews were super excited about staying at the cabin. Sadly, they weren't able to accommodate us so I had to start looking for a back up plan. I was able to book four rooms at The Christmas Tree Inn at $160/night. Luckily, my siblings weren't too disappointed with the last minute change. We showed up at around 4 PM on Saturday, August 22nd for an overnight stay. Check-in was super quick and easy. My siblings actually showed up about an hour before me since I had to make a few stops to pick up food & drinks for our group. The owner was nice & easy going. He didn't make a big deal out of the fact that I forgot my mask. Check out was just as easy. He just told us to leave our keys in the room and close the door. The room was clean, but pretty outdated. The a/c worked very well, thank goodness, because it was 90° out plus the smoke from the fire didn't help. There's a picnic table right out front so we made good use of it for our late lunch and breakfast the next morning. There's plenty of available parking since our group was probably the only ones there. The hotel is less than half an hour away from Pinecrest Lake, which was nice.

Overall, we had a good time. This is a small indoor rink full of old school vibes. The staff was friendly, but inattentive. The ice was really rutted and had large puddles of standing water from not being resurfaced. I asked twice for someone to run the ice resurfacing machine stored at the corner of the rink on the ice. Apparently, none of the *three* people sitting in the office knew how to run the machine and were only qualified to collect money and scroll on their phones. The one guy who can run the machine was supposedly busy checking people in to the lodge. This didn't stop them from gladly taking more money from new skaters to get on the poorly maintained ice. Deep ruts in the ice are a safety hazard for skaters and should be taken more seriously. It's unacceptable to have multiple employees sitting around and not a single one of them can resurface the ice. My advice would be to check on the ice before handing over your hard earned money.

It is a smaller rink, but perfect for beginners, or spending the afternoon with the kids. This was the first time I been on the ice since I was 10 and it is much harder than I remembered. It was my boyfriends first time ice skating and he got the hang of it pretty quickly. The kids enjoyed it - the youngest in our party had just turned 3 and he was killing it - doing better than most of us. The cost is minimal $20/person and that includes skate rentals. You can also rent the skate helpers for the kids or the adults who are learning. I ended up using one for a while as it was much more difficult to glide on the ice than I remembered. The kids had so much fun, even asking when we could come back or if they can take ice skating classes. We plan on returning before they close for the season.

The "gnocchi" was too mushy, not much shape, and had a very off putting taste & fragrance. The worst: [Christmas] It was a prefixed menu, with delicious sounding options. One of the options was a Scotch Egg, seemed like an appropriate choice given the holiday. My husband chose the salad. I wish I had chosen the soup. When the scotch egg arrived, it looked good. Upon cutting, the pork/sausage was raw. The server, Cara (who was amazing the whole meal), apologized and took the dish back. The kitchen made a second attempt and the restaurant or kitchen manager stated that she watched them cook this one longer to ensure it was fully cooked. Well, it was more cooked than the last attempt. However, there were still clearly raw sections closer to the egg. Now, I can understand this isn't a regular menu dish, things happen, usually not a big deal. Yet, the restaurant or kitchen manager (didn't catch her name), decided to gaslight me instead. She said the pink bits are expected given that they use paprika (If that was the case, the rest of the meat wouldn't change colors when cooked nor would it be a different texture). She stated they only had the salad or I'd have to accept this, they were out of other options. Fair. Obviously, I didn't want food poisoning and didn't accept it. Cara did provide a 10% discount and, again, was extremely lovely the whole time. The tone and gaslighting from the restaurant or kitchen manager was completely unacceptable and off putting. We've stayed at Evergreen Lodge multiple times, included over the holidays; dining at the Restaurant and Lodge the majority of meals, with acceptable or great experiences. We'll continue to stay at Evergreen Lodge, but either dine at Rush Creek or select safer/regular menu items when dining here again.
