Pine Valley Inn Motel

I give it 2 and a half stars. Saw a bad review about the receptionist, well I think they got rid of him because the guy I talked to at the front desk has only been here 4 months. Very friendly BTW. This place is directly next to a store that has just about everything. Alcohol to food/​produce movies and much more so that is convenient. Location is beautiful. Rooms are prob about what you would see at a motel 6 kinda run down but have the basic needs. Def nothing fancy. I highly recommend you drive the 9 miles up the mountain and eat at pine house café. Seems everything is made fresh from scratch very tasty and homey.

Asked for a room key to check it out before paying for room. Room was half painted and half dreary walls, some of the wall paper was ripped off and BLACK MOLD in the shower area. Kept on driving to another place.

Single worst experience I have ever had with a hotel receptionist.
I cannot recommend based on the following behavior of «Sam» with regards to noise at the motel and I strongly suggest looking for other places to stay.
I checked in late Saturday night after an all-​day fishing trip and was looking forward to a good night’s sleep before my long drive home the next morning. As soon as I entered the room, I immediately noticed that the walls were paper thin and I can hear every word and TV noise from the neighbor. I don’t fault the neighbor but asked the front desk receptionist «John» if he could help out. He said he would ask the next shift clerk, Sam, if he could ask them to keep it down.
Nothing happened, so I went to the front desk and asked this new person if he could help me out. He turned his back on me preceded to wipe down a table behind on me and answered with a very unfriendly and hostile, «WHAT?»
I have no idea why he was being hostile, so knowing that would neither get any sleep that night and was not going to get help from this clerk, I asked for a refund because I was literally in the hotel room for less than hour and did not use the toilet and only 1 bar of small soap. He refused to give me the refund, said there was something wrong with my ears, and that we should go talk to the neighbor about the noise. When we reach my room, he changes his mind and tells me there is something wrong with my ears and that we should check MY ROOM?
I tell him to keep the refund and that I was leaving, but that he should think about how he was behaving towards me. He said, «I actually don’t care.»
I responded by saying that I knew he actually didn’t care about customer service and took off. As I turned my back and left the office, I heard him yell «FUCK YOU!» through the closing door. I told him I heard that, and he said, again, «there is something with your ears…»
I called a manager named «Ray» the following Monday and asked if he could address what had happened. He said he would look at the video surveillance camera in the hotel lobby, and I gave him the time frame when it happened because I really wanted him to see Sam hurl expletives at me for simply wanting better customer service.
I have not heard back.
Stay away from this place. Worst experience ever with a hotel clerk.

Found this «on line» while on a spur-​of-​the-​moment Road Trip. Sounded like a great out-​of-​the-​way place to stay for one night. Realized once we got to town that this was the ONLY lodging in town! Looks rustic, mountainy, cool, and nice from the outside. Going off of the looks and reviews we rented a room… Our MISTAKE! We should have asked for a key and checked it out first! Everything the the room looked and felt dirty (except the sheets)!! The bed was HORRIBLE (hard as a rock) and the pillows BAD (someone said Memory Foam but the memory was gone)!! My husband and I got very little sleep. Would have got our money back and driven on but it was late and we were tired. Cover on bed looked filthy as did the drapes. Got up at night barefoot and floor (carpet) was STICKY… UGH! Put my shoes on after that. Walls had holes in them and paint was peeling. I wouldn’t even shower in the place! Got up early the next morning and left but not before my husband killed a big spider on the bathroom floor. NEVER AGAIN! Since it is the only hotel in town, just keep driving till you hit another town… TRUST ME IT’S NOT WORTH GETTING SICK!

Cheap hotel but you get what you pay for. There aren’t other options in the area so you can’t really complain. There’s a store next door with everything you could possibly need. There are a few places to eat nearby that are OK.

I came up intending to stay only 2 nites, but was so impressed by the value for my money that I stayed 2 more nites. A very basic room, but it was exactly what I needed. The only things that could have made it better would be a fireplace, and have one whole side of the lodge non-​smoking, so those of us that don’t, don’t have to smell it! Staff was great, room was clean…

Little motel up in the mountains. If you are looking for a cheaper place to stay with the basics, this place is perfect. Clean, has wi-​fi, the usual mini-​fridge and microwave. We didn’t use the tv but the wi-​fi worked great (tvs have been upgraded from what you see in the Unilocal photos). We checked in at 10pm and the night manager was friendly and helpful, someone I was happy to give business to.
I’ve stayed in a wide variety of places, and this is a solid, no-​frills place to spend a night or two.
Note: This would not be a problem for most people, but I’m somewhat sensitive/​allergic to laundry detergents with fragrances in them and whatever they washed the sheets in was a bit overpowering for me. My boyfriend was fine and I would still recommend this place if it suits you, but if you have similar allergies you might want to take a few benadryl.

Down here fighting fires and I have to say.
This is one of the most nasty motel I have ever been in.
Black mold in the shower.
Piss stain on the bed.
Towels Look like they got them from a thrift store.
The best was when I looked under the bed And found all the trash and dirty underwear and socks!
I did find a winning scratcher in the bed.
If you can avoid this place anyway possible then you will be better off.

I want to be fair and not complain too much so here goes.
The location of this hotel is awesome, the room was big and pretty decent for a building that is at least 30 years old.
I booked a room on a Friday night for the girl and I to enjoy a quick little get away for a day.
The woman at the front desk was nice and helpful with answering my questions about the area.
Our room was on the back side of the building facing a field and some hills off in the distance, very nice right ?
I drove around to park and noticed a couple of vans blocking the drive and boxes of food all over the place all around our room and on the driveway. There were a few guys moving boxes around in and out of the vans. It was clear to me that they were prepping to feed a large group of people. I didn’t mind their obstacle course and brought our stuff into the room thinking nothing much about their mess and noise outside, anyway, it was only about 5:30 pm.
All was well and after a fun visit to Golden Acorn that Friday eve, the girl and I got back around midnight tired and ready to enjoy a quite nights sleep in this neat little mountain ish retreat.
Bam !!! 4:30 am and we’re awoken by slamming doors, banging sounds, and talking outside as if it were high noon and no one else was around but the loud mouths outside our window.
We tried to get back to sleep but for the next fourty minutes it was bla bla bla, thunk, slam, and clunk.
At check out I wanted to let the front desk know that we had a pretty unrest full sleep due to the fact that our room was in the middle of the rudest group of lunk heads who had no consideration for any other guests.
I mean spending almost $ 90 for one night, expecting a peaceful and QUIET place to escape the craziness of every day living in the city, it’s not absurd to expect just that is it ???
The best I was offered for our non peaceful experience was the front desk woman saying «sorry about the noise, I can give you a ten dollar discount the next time you stay». Really ??? That’s it huh ?
I’m not sure I’ll be eager to spend that kind of money again at a place that cares so much about customer satisfaction.
All in all the hotel is pretty alright. The customer satisfaction is clearly not something they care much about.
I’m not saying «don’t stay here», just don’t expect quality assurance from the staff.

Clean & I felt very safe. I had to call for directions, the directions on Unilocal put me in the middle of a pasture. The night manager when I came in was a hoot! Made me feel welcome, not like a chain hotel.

If Psycho was based on a real motel, it would be this one.
Went here for a night due to having an interview in Pine Valley. The place was $ 70 I believe and came with free WIFI. Service was friendly, and it’s walking distance to the 3 restaurants within Pine Valley. The room had a microwave and refrigerator which I liked because I am not fond of any of the restaurants nearby. Good value for a night stay. Nice for couples trying to get away because it’s so quiet and out in the middle of nowhere.
Cons–
1. The air conditioning wasn’t very central. It kept pounding the bed next to it, but not the second bed which was closest to the bathroom.
2. No hair dryer in bathroom.
3. No makeup mirror in bathroom.
4. TV is ridiculously small.
5. No pool
Pros–
1. Cheap
2. Nice workers
3. Has a fridge and microwave
4. Free WIFI
5. Allows pets
