Although it was not the motel’s fault, there was a bunch of homeless people standing around when I arrived. The motel property itself seemed okay but I did not feel safe to get out of my car as one lady was swearing so loud and I couldn’t tell if she was talking on her phone or to me.

Ok for a 1 night stay
Just stayed 1 night on a road trip, Room was ok, clean and spacious but there was a horrible smell which came from the a/c, after we turned it off it was ok. Breakfast was basic, it would have been nice to have had some toast, all that was on offer was raisin bran, cheerio’s and some flavoured oats. Something less sugary would have been appreciated. The hotel was a little dated. However it was nice and clean.

One of the 2 required remotes for the TV was missing, so on/off and volume had to be done manually - kinda inconvenient. We had a nicely upgraded room, though, so the TV inconvenience was tolerable

This was a basic motel. It was where we needed to be in a convenient location for us. We were told if our room was too noisy, they would be glad to move us. We had no problems.

I want to like The Bristlecone. I have stayed there for years. They have redone the rooms. I appreciate that effort. The thing I did not like this time is that the “breakfast” offering is getting less and less. It should not be called breakfast. It should be Coffee, juice and snacks. The last two visits two weeks apart the morning staff person might not be doing their job. On the first visit there was no milk for cereal. I was told that all the milk at the grocery store was almost expired so why buy it? On my return trip there was no fruit. I was told that all the fruit at the store was old and ugly. There seems to be a theme here. Also there was a hose laying across the walkway as I arrived and thought someone had been watering the plants. The desk clerk said she had seen but didn’t know what was going on. The hose was still there the next morning.
