Close by.

We booked here because there would be a breakfast every morning and they had a pool. I turned out that the pool was not yet open for the season... it would have been nice to know that. Breakfast does not start until 8am. Which seems fairly absurd considering the main thing to do around here is outdoorsy stuff and people want an early start. We had to leave at 7:30 both days of our stay so we didn't get to enjoy that amenity either. The room was fairly spacious but everything was pretty run down. The area behind the beds was not well swept. They do not clean the rooms every day which is another amenity I enjoy when staying at a motel so that was sort of a disappointment. The rooms do have a coffee maker, microwave, and good sized mini fridge. The front desk clerk was very nice and helpful. She let me borrow a bottle opener for the night when I needed one. She got us new towels with no problem. We were on a tight budget for this trip and you get what you pay for I guess. I just wish they hadn't advertised some amenities that were not actually available or were limited.

I understand that this motel was recently renovated, which we appreciated! Front desk staff were super friendly. The whole process was seamless. Free breakfast included milk, coffee, cereal, bread and condiments. We usually stay in an Airbnb for skiing, but since the power was out at many establishments in the Pinecrest area, we chose this motel and would come back if we don’t happen to have an Airbnb lined up! Sonora is a convenient location to the snow that’s not actually in the snow.

It is an older hotel. But the staff was friendly
