With the moldy, musty smell in the bathroom, this place literally stinks. Look straight up from the bed I could see daylight through a crack in the ceiling. And the lumps under the carpet? Don't want to think about it. Worst of all is the dishonesty of the management (this motel is operated by a family from india). We left... More

Worst hotel I have ever stayed in, no where near worth the money I spent. I couldn't sleep all night because I kept thinking critters were going to crawl out of every orifice. It was disgusting. To be fair, I peeked in some of the other rooms and they did not all look as bad as the one I stayed... More

When I stopped by to inquire about what rooms they had available the women immediately asked me for my ID before even telling me about the availability. She would not believe I was old enough to check and and even asked me point blank while staring at my drivers license "This is fake, right?" They had the worst customer service... More

We had made online reservations for two nights. I would not accept the room, she had me look at another and it was worse! Paneling patched over... More

I'll admit, I was not happy that I was booked at the Pinewood Inn after reading a number of horrible reviews. But, after staying there, I can say that it was fine for a budget hotel. This is a Mom & Pop hotel that looks like it's had a recent fix up/paint up. The parking area had recently been seal... More

I would like to be compensated for my rooms that I purchased for Lake Tahoe. I had booked 2 rooms with the rating of 2 stars. It was one of the most embarrassing moments of my life when I saw the condition of the hotel that I was to be staying in. I had out of town guests and had... More
