Sonora Gold Lodge – Sonora

The hotel staff and breakfast were great. The side we were on though it seems hadn't been updated in forever. Toilet didn't flush well, water was hard to turn on and there was no handle on the shower door to keep it shut. There was a giant skill saw right outside our window and there was extra parts (toilet seat) right there as well. The hotel was quiet but I wish we would've got a room on the other side that seemed to be much cleaner and way more updated.

I didn't get any sleep, the best part of my stay was leaving to go camping which weirdly enough was much more comfortable than the bed and couch in the hotel. Also, dirty sheets and pillow, used my own pillow and sheets, sure you save 40$ but for me sleep is worth the extra for a different hotel. Nice and courteous staff though.

the employees were very kind and helpful. but the rooms needed more work some side boards weren't nailed to wall.

Comfortable and clean

The room was dirty, the mattress was very old (and not covered with a mattress protector), there was a spider in the shower and lots of other bugs flying around in the room. I woke up the first time because someone was playing music VERY loudly outside, then I woke up because my room smelled like cigarette smoke. There was a couple smoking outside the window at 2 am because the motel has benches and buckets out there like the promote smoking just outside the rooms. It was pretty gross. This motel had has lots of potential. It looks like they recently added new light fixtures and made an attempt at painting the doors and the rooms (not the bathroom), but I'm not sure they put the emphasis in the right things. Also, at check in, the girl acted like I was putting her out because she didn't receive a fax with my reservation and stated I was the third one that day.
