We wanted a place with a pool. In this case the pool was being repaired. The person who owned the facility said he would cancel our reservation. He did. Great guy. Very nice great looking place.

Questions about Mother Lode Motel
What time is check-in and check-out at Mother Lode Motel?
Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Mother Lode Motel allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at Mother Lode Motel?
Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.
Does Mother Lode Motel have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does Mother Lode Motel have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
