Top Garden Valley Hotel Reviews

Best Western Colfax

10/10 Excellent

"Room was great, good size, clean, comfortable. Nice hot walk in shower. Enough parking"

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"

Best Western Golden Key

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were super friendly and efficient. Toiletries and complementary breakfast were a huge plus, along with parking available for guests. I was traveling from Sacramento to Lake Tahoe, and this was the perfect midway point to stay without having to travel through the night. The room was quiet, clean and cozy. Would definitely recommend as a full stay or stop over."

National 9 Inn Placerville

8/10 Good

"Room was quite dirty, stains all over the carpet mold in the bathroom on the walls were gross and dirty. The bedsheets had holes and stains on them. The staff at check-in was extremely nice and super friendly and helpful anytime we needed anything. I would give them 10 out of 10 on friendliness and helpfulness. We were there with a group of three families and it was really just our room that was this bad. The other two rooms were OK so just don’t ask for a room 102."

The Foothills Motel

10/10 Excellent

"This motel is perfect, we had a private patio, and we were walking distance from bowling alley, the pizza was delicious! The room was clean and stocked, highly recommend."

Red Lion Inn & Suites Auburn

8/10 Good

"COULD USE PAINTING OUTSIDE, SOME INSIDE. AC A LITTLE NOISEY. ROOMS NEEDS FINE DETAIL & BATH BUT NOT TOO MUCH. GOOD PARKING BUT COULD USE MORE. CLOSE TO STARBUCKS ETC..."

Colfax Motorlodge

8/10 Good

"Nice affordable old hotel. Staff ready to check-in, even late at night Close to restaurants and fast food."

Historic Cary House Hotel

8/10 Good

"The woman at the front desk was wonderful! Our key card wasn’t working and she was so kind and helpful. The hotel is in a great spot! I like that they keep things simple and with the antique feel. Our remote was held together by packing or duct tape, that would be one of my only minor complaints. The room was quiet and clean."

Best Western Stagecoach Inn

10/10 Excellent

"My roomwas clean and quiet. The bed was incredibly comfortable. Staff was helpful. I will stay here again"
