Muir Lodge Motel

Outstanding pair of sinks on spacous counter for two. Very good beds. Strong AC but difficult to regulate. Good WiFi. Walking distance from Muir National Historic site No in hotel food. Martinez is very cute.

Very clean. Park in front of your door. Restaurant walking distance. Easy access

Super clean, quick check in, comfy bed, convenient parking. Only drawback is the traffic noise. Ear plugs were on the nightstand, so managers are aware of the issue. Not sure if anything could be done to soundproof the rooms. Other than that, a very nice motel!

Well, the biggest thing here is price. For the price, it is the best value one can get in lodging. I had no problems at all. Air conditioning was good. Bed and pillows comfortable. Furniture...adequate. Easy chair was good and appreciated. Bathroom and shower was clean and adequate. Front desk was good. Neighborhood was very pleasant. Television was good. Electrical outlets...needed more of them. It is a tech world we live in. ha. Lighting...adequate.

Great location, easy to find. With great Parking rooms were very clean and comfortable.

I stayed in room 1. Parking was right in front of the room. The heater worked great. The water pressure in the shower was fantastic!!

The pool was not avalible

Really cute place to stay, has beautiful original sign outside, gorgeous pool, and room was clean as well as I love the style of furnishings. Internet worked great, and room even came with waters and danishes. Fridge worked perfect, and ac kept room cool even though it was a blazing hot weekend. Very close to gas station, Jack in the box, and has ice machine and soda machine. I will stay here again, for sure.

I just needed a quick overnight stay between trains. The room was very clean and comfortable, and everything worked. The area was quiet. The motel is fairly basic, with a small pool being the only amenity. I didn't need more than a room, so it was fine with me. Check in was easy, with a friendly staff.

I was nervous because it’s a motel but it was updated and comfortable. Great stay, check in was easy and service was good. Shower had nice hot water, but it was small. Room was clean with a microwave and fridge. The two free bottles of water and pre-packaged pastry was a nice surprise. Good location for our quick overnight stay for sporting event.

Very nice people here as well as a very clean room,comfortable bed and nice shower. I've stayed here many times over the last 10 years and am so grateful for all the comfort they've provided. Thank you!

Cob webs above toilet and bed.lots of dust

The bed sheets looked unchanged. Pillow cases were terribly drained, one was so bad that it is impossible to imagine any business person with bare minimum sense would continue to use it for rooms at the motel. Once I pointed out to owner, he was defensive and said they were washed and cleaned, but stained. He would not understand. Sink and shower were not clean. The door security latch did not work and was very flimsy as well. The complimentary soup and lotion and … had been opened and had marks and stains on the outside tube and bottles. I walked in and walked out in one minute to go back to office to let him know I could not stay there. He refused to give me refund. I lost about $150 last night, including the $9 insurance type thing that Expedia strongly recommended. Obviously, the rating of 8.4 was a complete fraudulent attempt to bring customers in. Very very disappointed. I ended up sleeping in my car somewhere because it was too late to find somewhere else. Very upset I lost the money. Awful place and experience, Expedia.

The tub was dirty and didn’t drain properly the washcloths were stained and there was a lot of noise from the street. It is a very basic motel

upon checking into room we noticed debris on the floor under chairs and bedstands. TV was unable to navigate to any channels-had to call front desk and person brought a different remote to get TV working. Had to be done again the following morning so this time he left "special" remote so we wouldn't have to call again. blanket and sheet did not fit the mattress, Was our 2nd time here and appears a lot has changed since 1st visit..

Room was clean, but the perfume used was very pungent. Made my allergies shoot up

Not clean, pretty gross - review ratings not accurate anymore

This room had dirty socks left in it and very loud because of distance to the main road. Also there is NO breakfast included. You get a danish in package. The price is good.

Outstanding Housekeeping

I stayed here when transferring over night from the west bound California Zephry to the south bound San Jaoquin through the Central Valley It's a two mile walk down Alhambra Street. Martinez is a very nice community and the Muir Lodge is no frills place with modern amenities and a great price, perfect for my purposes. It's right on Alhambra so there is traffic noise. Next time I will ask for a room further from the street.

Room was spacious, updated and clean. Bed was comfortable and there were 2 chairs that reclined so we didn't have to resort to sitting on the bed. Staff were friendly and courteous. Hotel was conveniently located for our purposes.

Nicely updated. Noisy street but they included earplugs in the rooms. Thank you!

The room and bath were decent, thebed comfortable. The tv was weird, lots of sports but nnot much to watch without extra fees.

Perhaps in a bay-area location, one shouldn't expect the same experience as in other locales for the price charged. The room was a bit small, with two beds, there was only room for one chair. There was some plumbing issue in the bathroom so although it was clean, it sometimes had an unpleasant odor. The beds were comfortable, however, and the TV did work well.

The outside looks like a charming 1940-50ish roadside motel. Cute as can be with red period chairs. Step in to completely remodeled modern furnishings, comfortable beds. Will return!

We made our reservations a couple hours before arriving at the motel so I think we got the last room. It was small & the queen bed was not very comfortable. Other than that everything else was great, as usual. We have stayed here before. Nicely renovated & clean.

Older facility but newly remodeled, comfortable beds smaller rooms street traffic was a little loud, friendly staff. We were only in town for one night, so it served our purpose well.

This was my second time here. First time the room was updated, clean, comfortable (with the noise issues everyone else talks about, but manageable for me). This time I was in a different room and it was a complete let-down. Broken items, dirty towels/floors/walls, and lacking the same charm as the first time. The hotel allows smoking pretty much anywhere outside the rooms, given the way things are, if someone is smoking, you will smell it. This was an issue at my first stay but I wanted to give it another chance. The next time I was in the area for work I opted to stay further away in Walnut Creek. I probably won't be back here, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't. Just know it may be great, or not depending on the room assignment and your neighbors/traffic.

Room was clean. Staff friendly. The bed was very hard and a little lumpy. Mattress needs replaced.

I had a nice stay staff was the best so kind helpful I will be back again I’ve stayed twice so far loved it so clean.

Very nice people here as well as a very clean room,comfortable bed and nice shower. I've stayed here many times over the last 10 years and am so grateful for all the comfort they've provided. Thank you!

Our stay was fantastic. Clean, nice rooms. Big nice TV. Free water which is always appreciated. Only complaint was one of the rooms smelled of cigarettes. They did offer to move our room. Great service.

Great staff, nice location.

Beds are over 36 inches off the floor making it impossible for the elderly to climb into bed safely, and when I informed the staff I could not stay there and cancel the additional days I was charged for the entire 3 days without any refund. Very disappointing

The employees were hideously awful and rude .

Quaint. Single story. Only about 15 rooms. Nicely redecorated inside. Easy location to get to on and off the highway. All good things. The only negative was the reception. He wasn’t rude just not friendly. Other than that great place to stay.

Arrived at 3pm and noticed neighborhood was questionable but still had hope the room might be ok as we had an event that started at 5pm that we still had to drive to. Upon entering the small front office we noticed it was stuffy (no AC) and smelled like a restaurant. The front office person took our ID and after checking on the room, returned to tell us it would not be ready until 330pm. He said that the maid was busy cleaning another room and she would get to ours next.There were no other clients there. Then they offered to let us into the room in the meantime as we needed to start getting ready. As we walked up to our assigned room I glanced inside at what appeared to be the remains of a night of partying with beer bottles on every surface and the stench of alcohol mixed with some type of previous attempts to mask unpleasant odors with cleaner. There was no possible way either of us could have tolerated the smell. We told him we would not be staying whereupon he informed us there would be no refund as we prepaid. At minimum he ought to have been able to discount our stay based on the “LATE check-in”. And honestly should have never offered us to even go near that room. There were no other rooms available. Disappointing.

Very clean. Park in front of your door. Restaurant walking distance. Easy access

Staff was nice and welcoming. Location is convenient to the freeway. While it seems many updates were made to the property, some items could use improvement - for example, the door was not flush with the framing which allowed a draft and road noise into the room. This may also explain why it smelled of cigarette smoke.

This is our second stay at this delightful property. Nicely upgraded with comfy beds and great location. Thank you!

Great location, easy to find. With great Parking rooms were very clean and comfortable.

The rooms are updated, it’s extremely convenient to John Muir house national Park. Their roofs are completely covered with solar panels!

The property looks like an old 1960’s motor inn. However, upon opening the door, one can see that the rooms are upgraded in every way imaginable, but not overdone either. Great coffee house a block away, flat walk to town approximately 2 miles & 2 miles back. This was my 2nd time staying here.

Our stay at the Muir Lodge was perfect for us. The room was very clean and comfortable. Only saw staff at check-in but she was courteous. We were traveling on Amtrak so needed Uber to get there and back to train station. There is a free bus service that runs by it but we couldn't figure it out. There are a few restaurants close by. The street noise was a little loud in the morning but not unmanageable. All in all, I would recommend.

This motel is clean and very well kept. Convenient location and reasonably quiet. Definitely worth the cost. I would stay here again.

Stayed at property over 40 years ago. This was a nostalgia stay. Motel room very tastefully updated. Bed was excellent, 2 hairs and a table with plenty of room. Would suggest cleaning staff decrease the amount of Fabulosa used to clean the rooms. Had to air out the room upon arrival. Recommendations for dinner and breakfast were the best meals of our trip.

It was fine. If you want to turn in for a night's sleep in Martinez, this could be the place. It felt safe enough to house a 9 yr old kid & parents. Has a Jack in the Box right in the front. So you'll be fine for dinner.

I've stayed here before and enjoyed both times. I like that there are two bottles of water (complimentary) in the room as well as a couple of breakfast pastries. The bathroom amenities appear to be high quality. The towels were large and soft! I'm sure it's hard to keep up on but the only observation of something needing attention was the front porch; it appeared that the previous guest had spilled something sticky and bits of dirt and debris were clinging to the spill.

This room had dirty socks left in it and very loud because of distance to the main road. Also there is NO breakfast included. You get a danish in package. The price is good.
