Good stay , only thing that was annoying was the sounds of the pipes all night long
Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024
Response from Max on Mar 4, 2024
The pipe sounds is because of the water heating, we are trying to find out the reason, there’s no confirmed answer yet.Thanks for letting us know, we will try our best in any way to improve our guests experience.Hope to host you again soon!

The carpet in our room was disgusting and the tables were not even cleaned. I made coffee this morning and when I put the powdered creamer in it, it curdled. I had never seen that before so I tried another package and same thing so no coffee.

Dear Holly,Sorry to hear your bad experience. Have you got any chance to talk with our front desk yet? We truly care our guests and their opinions.Because this is old hotel, something looks not clean but it is, we have higher cleanliness standard. Please do let us know right away if you have any concerns so we will offer you a better experience.Regarding the coffee, it’s because of the city water, suggest you use bottled water for better coffee.We are planning on a proper softener and hopefully you can get a better experience soon.

The property and room were clean and our host came out next morning to wish us well. We discovered that had we booked direct, we could have got room $25.00 less. This extra is possibly the fee booking agent collects from establishment!!!! The area is still cleaning up from flood waters so not much to chose from re meals etc. Went to Hat Creek historical Cr for breakfast

At least you didn’t tell me.This is not Canadian way, as a Canadian, we show the world that we are kind, tolerant.In case you’re not satisfied, you should point out and allow us to fixed so you would have better experience.Now, I believe you are not happy, I am not happy as well because you are trying to mislead people.Don’t know if I have the opportunity to serve you a better experience next time but we will do our best efforts.Thanks

The surrounding area is beautiful if your into the desert like climat. We were greeted by a lovely front desk clerk. Check in was fast. The room itself was gross. Carpet didnt look vaccumed, black hair everywhere, cobwebs in corners, dead bugs in bathroom and stuck on walls. Which is all weird because the ratings are so good. We must have gotten a bad room maybe. Regardless, we will try somewhere else.

Any review should be realistic, you mentioned No AC but it works well. Did you stay in the room or your boyfriend? It’s not right way to mislead other guests like this as a Canadian. If you have any concerns, you should let us know first and see if we can resolve it right away so that you can have a better experience. For example, if you don’t know how to turn AC on, I can help you easily.After you post bad review online, even later you find out it’s not our problem, you cannot help to remove it anymore. Business reputation is very important, we care every concerns of our guests and make them feel better.

Ok, this is not the newest or most fancy place - it’s not a major luxury chain so don’t expect that - it’s a probably 70s or 80s old-style highway motel.. However, it is clean, the bed was actually very comfortable and it is convenient in Cache Creek. Of particular note, the owner is soooo nice. He helped with a booking problem (that was my fault) with a smile and a kind word. It’s hard to find people like that these days I think - it makes this stand out in my mind!
