I understand that this motel was recently renovated, which we appreciated! Front desk staff were super friendly. The whole process was seamless. Free breakfast included milk, coffee, cereal, bread and condiments. We usually stay in an Airbnb for skiing, but since the power was out at many establishments in the Pinecrest area, we chose this motel and would come back if we don’t happen to have an Airbnb lined up! Sonora is a convenient location to the snow that’s not actually in the snow.

The community of people in the area are very friendly, it was safe and a quiet place to sleep. Local food spots were close by and areas we visited where only 30mins away. Perfect place for our small family to stay.
