I often drive between the Bay and Reno NV for work and personal reasons. Last night I was too tired after a long day of working and stopped off as Colfax is about midway. I was pleasantly surprised, quick check-in and a comfortable bed. Good night sleep made the morning drive a breeze. Will stop in again when traveling if needed.

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.

Super helpful staff. Clean room and premises. Everything worked as it should have. This is a very reasonable older single story motel that is well kept up and managed very well without those ------- resort fees for nothing. Very reasonably priced in todays market. A lot like the 40's, through 60's motels found along Route 66 across the Southwest and Route 99 in the San Joaquin Valley. For the traveler who wants a good nights sleep in a clean room at a great price without all the fancy design, furniture, and crap - THIS PLACE IS GREAT!

Great stay, fair price, renovated

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.

In a really convinient area surrounded by Starbucks, grocery store, etc. Air conditioning worked, easy parking, nearby road is a little loud, but couldn't hear other guests. Other than that, it was OK. I understand that it's a fairly inexpensive motel on the side of the freeway, but that doesn't exactly excuse it from adequate houskeeping and cleanliness, which could have been improved.

This place works for a quick stop over if you’re just rolling through the area. It’s right in the middle of the small “New-town” so there is gas and fast food and a restaurant or two. It’s right on the highway, but it wasn’t crazy loud. The room itself was pretty dingy, but it worked. Unfortunately it was very dirty. You can tell that they do not take cleaning seriously at all. I’d rip it more if it wasn’t so cheap. You get what you pay for, and this is what you pay for.
