Top Garden Valley Hotel Reviews

The Foothills Motel

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at Foothills Motel! The room was small but cozy, with comfortable beds and an AC that worked great. Parking was free and spacious, and it was quiet enough that we all slept well. It was perfect for our family of four—my wife and I and our two girls. The girls especially loved finding horror movies on the cable channels! The weather was so nice that I only wish a room with a patio had been available. We’d happily stay here again."

Colfax Motorlodge

10/10 Excellent

"Always clean, nice s"

Red Hawk Resort & Casino

10/10 Excellent

"The room is clean and up to date. Love the fact that the hotel have free self serve sodas machines throughout the casino floor. The staffs especially the hotel staff front desk was exceptionally accommodating with our request.. The only thing that we didn't like so much is the lobster buffet but everything else was great."

Best Western Golden Key

10/10 Excellent

"Nice room, friendly staff, great grassy area with trees on the property for dog outings. A nice place to stay."

Best Western Colfax

8/10 Good

"The hotel was nice. Staff were really nice. Food could be better. The eggs did not look good. The potatoes didn’t look appetizing. I would stay there again but opt out of the breakfast."

Studio 6 Suites Cameron Park, CA – Folsom

8/10 Good

"The room was nice but we saw a cockroach when packing our things to leave"

Elmwood Motel

10/10 Excellent

"A great experience, especially for the price!"

Historic Cary House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed this cozy, comfortable, dog friendly hotel right in downtown Placerville!"

Best Western Plus Placerville Inn

8/10 Good

"The place was really nice. We did have a couple issues though. The sink was clogged when we first used it, not sure how housekeeping didn't catch it. They had to come fix it before we could even brush our teeth that night. But at least they had someone available immediately to fix it. The conditioner dispenser was empty, again housekeeping missed that too. Two dogs next door were barking early and woke us up. I'm sure hotel policy is not to leave pets unattended but someone did"
