Great Remodel

Very clean and great remodel! Perfect stopover for visiting friends up north. You can tell that they really did a thoughtful remodel: fresh paint and simple touches. Pool and bowling alley are added benefits. You get 10% off the bowling alley, food and drinks.

My husband stayed here in the 1970's and wanted to try it again. He and we were amazed at the transformation. Excellent renovations. We will always stay here from now on.

Good for a short stay.

For a short stay, the accommodations were great. But the walls were too thin. Our neighbors checked in after midnight and their conversing was too loud for us. Having light sleepers was in conflict with the loud talking. And having to get up in 5 hours was an effort in lost sleep even if the beds were comfy.

Nice, clean place

We enjoyed our stay. Our room was nice and clean. The room was a little tight for 4 with the 2 queen beds but everything was comfortable and the room felt like new even though it has been a few years since it was renovated. Definitely worth the price we paid.

Nice motel. Clean and updated, safe area. Comfortable beds. We needed a quiet place to stay after a concert in Lincoln before we continued to our next stop, a wedding in Tahoe. Foothill fit the bill. Close to the freeway but quiet. Perfect place and reasonably priced.

The amenities were really good. Each room has a microwave, small refrigerator, and coffee maker. The rooms are on the smaller side but uses every inch really efficiently. Freeway access couldn't be easier. Breakfast spots and coffee nearby. I would stay here again.

Hidden treasure for a stop driving west. It's the perfect place to regroup, reorganize and even take a dip in the pool if you want. Michael and all the staff are ready and willing to help. Shhhhhh it's a secret.
