Elmwood Motel

Very good

Decent Spot Convenient to Uptown

Liked: Nice little spot to spend the night. No frills, a bit of street noise and my check-in seemed to confuse the staff almost to the point of no return. At the same time, just a block away from the cute and lively uptown area with restaurants, shops, bars and the Gold Rush Museum.
Disliked: Staff could not figure out how to use the computer during my check-in...to the point that I was very frustrated. Place is no frills...tv, beds, a small fridge and an uncomfortable chair are about it for comfort.

Exceptional

Good

Liked: Cheap and Convenient
Disliked: The shades need extra layer of curtain or window blind. Hairdryer was missing. Body wash wasn’t provided.

Very disappointed, and disgusted with...

Liked: That it was close to downtown.
Disliked: It is very noisy for starters. The covered parking stalls are very cramped. The first room we checked into had the two bedroom option. The private bedroom was very hot and stuff with no hvac system to allow to cool the air. No ceiling fan either. That room needs some freshening up with some paint and a better mattress and at least a fan and some lighting. The main area had a lot wrong. First the cleanliness. It smelt like pizza. The refrigerator dial was broken so we couldn’t figure out how to get it to cool down. There were 2 TV remotes without instructions or a printed TV GUIDE of channels. The mattress was paper thin. When we went to contact the front office about all our concerns and needs, the phone was covered in what looks like pizza vomit on the receiver. Walked down to the main office, and explained everything and after the second time of needing their assistance, we were offered a different room. Which was so much better. It had been cleaned, have been updated and way better mattress and fridge was working and had the control dial display. Also one working remote. The staff were very kind and hospitable. The second room was still very noisy. It woke us up frequently from all of the traffic, people. The street outside of the hotel connects to the freeway and needs work so it wouldn’t be so loud. Semi’s drive thru there frequently and all vehicles hit sound metal and it makes very loud noises with each passing. Also no vending machines, coffee maker or filtered water stations for drinking. Although there is a convenience store across the street.
