Gold Lodge

Friends said «Its close to the fairgrounds where we are, and its not bad» needless to say I’m not taking their advice again. The sheets and towels were clean at least. Christine at the front office was nice. The bad news: Our trailer and truck tires were slashed and set our plans back 13 hours, plus $ 1200, and now the owners wont take or return my calls to see if their innkeepers liability insurance will help pay for the damages as we were parked on the property where they said we could park. I understand it’s not their fault this happened, but come on, be responsible property owners and call me back and try to help out. The police showed up within 15 minutes and told us this was the «bad» end of town and we should probably stay somewhere else next time. Please call me back Ted or Sandra Ung.

The outside of this hotel looks old and cozy. The inside of room 22 is another story. They don’t tell you when you ask if they have any vacancies that they’ve converted a back porch into what they call a room. If Hollywood is looking for a room to film a horror movie, room 22 is it! The heater doesn’t work, the faucet drips, the TV has only a few channels, the microwave plug has the ground cut off, the carpet is filthy, and the bed is a medieval torture device. I’ve eaten sandwiches thicker than the pillows. If you choose to stay here, ask to see the room before you pay for it. I give it one star because the toilet flushes.

Where do I start. This is the last motel to sell out in the area, for good reason! The afternoon front desk lady was very helpful. She did her best to accommodate us with what she had to work with! (I do not know what the highway rooms look like) but the back rooms were bad! The maid cleaning is minimal! On that note. The sheets were clean and the towels were clean! I am not going to run this place in the ground. With a little attention to cleanliness it could be a real nice diamond in the rough! The owner just has not decided to take it there!

Nice Hole in the wall. affordable and clean. Not a upscale type place, but a place to sleep and shower. across from the Fairgrounds and in the middle of everything. Jamestown and the Chicken ranch casino., Downtown Sonora is a stone throws away and shopping is a few blocks down if you want a few items for your freeze. as well as a Round table pizza

Came into town late after a long beautiful spring day in Yosemite Valley where no accommodations were available. Found this on the iPhone and checked it out. We got a queens bed room for $ 59 + tax. The first room had a dripping faucet so we requested another. The second one was sufficient. Didn’t need heat or air conditioning. Room was clean but showed age and affects of guests who express themselves violently. The door knob was wobbly. The sink faucet turned 360 degrees without seating. You need to experiment to find the shut off. The shower had plenty of warm water. We slept soundly and left early. In the office I heard an incoming call about weekly rates when we were leaving. Weekly residents appear to be a good portion of their customers.

The woman at the front desk is the only reason this place is getting 3 stars. She was nice, kind and jovial. She even called us when we forgot our pillows which is a rare thing for hotels to do. Unfortunately I did feel the need to Lysol the room due to the fact that the floor turned my feet black. I could tell the floors had not been vacummed before we checked in nor had seen a cleaning in awhile. I wish I could give this place a higher review due to how friendly the staff is.

I do not know why this hotel got only 3 stars. My father was down on his luck and landed here to reside for a week. These ladies that work here are so sweet. They are just the best. My dad is elderly and in bad shape. They have made my fathers stay, very comfortable and pleasant. I give these girls kudos for being so sweet and compassionate. I would most deff stay here again. They are so sweet here. They don’t give senior discounts but, the nice ness is worth the price.

This place is old. It smells kinda bad. But the staff is nice and ver accommodating. It’s cheap and it’s okay if you’re just looking for a place to sleep. It’s also good because you can have pets. They also have cable which most motels don’t offer the same channels. The lighting is a little bad and blow dryer (but if you ask they will give you one). Again staff made a difference in making the stay more pleasant.

Absolutely nothing fancy. You get what you pay for here. This was the only place available during labor day weekend (sunday). Paid $ 78 for our room with a king size bed. I do have to say this room has a foul stench though. No shampoo or conditioner available just a soap dispenser in the shower. No blow dryer. Has a microwave and small refrigerator. Other than that it’s just a room to crash at in the mean time. Free WiFi and breakfast

A group of us stay at this «property» twice a year because of the convenience of being across from the Sonora Fair grounds and for the fairly «reasonable» cost. And by group I mean at least 6 to 10 people in anywhere from 3 to five rooms. Over the years we have overlooked small things like lack of towels, light bulbs, foul smelling room (sewage leak) and feral cats in the crawl space but this last visit was a tragedy of epic proportions that will end our relationship with this «property». We go to check in Friday night, reservations we rolled over from our stay March 2013 and confirmed a month ahead of time, and this is when the errors begin, one of our group (there were 3 rooms reserved all together this go round) was told that the room they had originally reserved wasn’t available, and that no credit or discount could be given at the time. We get settled in our respective rooms. My roommate and I settle in and go to lock the door for the evening, it won’t lock. I put my shoulder against it still won’t lock. After about 45 minutes or pushing, wiggling and shaking my roommate gets the door locked. Fast foward to Saturday night, we return to room go to use key and door glides open SURPRISE housekeeping wasn’t able/​didn’t lock door after dropping off clean towels. We go to leave again and door will not lock from outside with key so roommate goes to get help. She returns with front desk clerk «Bob» who is telling her that she is rude for interrupting his personal cell phone call by asking for help with the un-​lockable door. At this point «Bob» starts talking about how they know this door is a problem and that it has been kicked in a few times. He continues to fight with the door his master key not working and still berating my friend about interrupting his call at this point she reminds him she is the customer and and he blurts out «I don’t give a F**k about customers. » and that his family owns the place. Then proceeds to tell my friend he can smell the beer on her and doesn’t need to deal with a «drunk broad» meanwhile door is still not locking. My friend finally tries our room key which at this point now locks the door. «Bob» wanders back to the main office babbling to himself. Next morning upon check out were are told that the clerk at the desk cannot give any discounts but that the situation will be brought to the owners’ attention. It has been over 72 hours and none of the involved parties have been contacted. I have attached pictures of the «door». Though through the years we have let many things go this was the last straw with this place. Stay to your own risk.

These pricks charged me $ 35.00 for a hotel key they say I didn’t turn in. I indeed put it into the key box. Then when I spoke to Linda (rude as all hell) to dispute the extra charge, I said, «a duplicate key dosen’t cost $ 35.00 to make» and she yells over the phone, «That was the only room key we had, we had to change the lock» I then said ‚” don’t you have spares on hand for your rooms? Her reply was «no». Bad hotel policy I say.

Yes, clean. The staff (Linda) was awesome giving us a front room when it was 100 degrees and the back rooms were in fun sun. The A/​C was cold and a little noisy but the room was a good price for what we needed which was a place to sleep for the night. The 60’s décor didn’t bother us. We travel with our own soap and shampoo so a no frills experience doesn’t freak us out. It was all good.

I hate writing bad reviews!
Be prepared for very little and you’ll be fine. For us, it was the worst experience I’ve had in a hotel in this country.
It was clean and the staff was nice, but that’s it. Worn out cheap 60’s décor. The air conditioner was so loud we couldn’t sleep with it on and it was too hot to sleep with it off. I got the termite out of the room before we went to sleep but I missed the fly that kept landing on me and waking me up. The thin walls left us hearing the neighbors all night long. It said no smoking in the rooms but clearly people had and we saw our neighbors smoking in theirs. No blackout shades so when someone out back decided to load their truck at 11:30, the bright light came right into our room.
Oh yeah, and the pool wasn’t working and we weren’t told that when we called to make reservations or when we checked in.

After 12 miles of hiking through rough backcountry in the Emigrant Wilderness, all we were looking for was a clean bed. That’s all we got. Every other hotel in a 50 mile radius appeared to be booked– it’s no wonder this one had a vacancy. When we went to take a shower, all we found was water: no soap, no shampoo, no conditioner. We even had trouble turning the shower on! The decoration was hideous: floral polyester blanket, random yellow and green flower stickers on the brownish red headboard, maroon and off-​white wall paint, no sink in the tiny bathroom, and carpet that one needed sterile booties to walk on! The one positive: we got to meet our neighbor. He was halfway through a 40 ounce Corona! Now we know they sell Corona in forties.

Perfectly serviceable place to crash for the night. Not creepy or sketchy at all. Beds could use some replacing, though: the springs in ours are out of life. Would stay here again, though.

Not exactly the St Regis, but for the price, not so bad. $ 60 for a 2 bed room. All other hotels in town were outrageously priced, as there was an event that weekend. Pretty big room, no shady people hanging around, free breakfast & even a cute little vanity to get your pretty on. So, if you don’t mind mismatched furniture & a bed with a little squeak, I say go for it. Also, they guy at the front desk, who I’m assuming is the owner, is an awesome guy. Great sense of humor, very friendly, and full of helpful info.
