Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The room was clean. Furniture sparse, but in good condition. Bed was comfortable and the bedding clean. Heating and AC unit was adequate for the size of the room. Bathroom was worn, but clean, and included a new shower unit with hot water on demand.
All and all a good road stop inn for a couple of nights stay.
Pros: Easy to get to, clean, food is within walking distance, affordable, had a microwave, fridge and dmall coffee pot
Cons: Fire alarm wasnt mounted, hair dryer didn't work and one outlet had multiple plugs plug into an outlet extender that was a bit questionable
Everything was great besides the bed. Woke up every 45 minutes or so because it wasnt the most comfortable. But the staff was super friendly and even stayed late for us. Its not a bad spot fir just 1 night.

I picked a room here at the motor Lodge at Colfax motor Lodge here in Colfax California 95713 and they're not let me stay the days that I paid for it
It’s great when you can support an independent motel instead of the big chains. We enjoyed a clean comfortable shower and sleep in a comfortable very well kept little motel. The a/c was wonderful, cool, with a steady sound that never awakened me the way the ones at too many other hotels have on our cross country trip.
This motel is very nice. Its simple and works well.
You have restaurants close by across the street along with a grocery store ...starbucks close and gas station. All within walking distance. Very convenient. I stayed for 2 nights. Staff was very accommodating and friendly. I would plan to stay there again.
The downside is that the freeway noise is loud with the big trucks in the middle of the night. But theres nothing anyone can do about that. Its on the interstate 80 corridor. Nice little town. Thank you staff. It was nice for me

Small motel with only 12 rooms. Pleasant staff. Quiet. Some shopping across the street and a grocery store one block away. Small room, but good for the cost.
