My fiancée and I stayed at The Foothills Motel on our way to the Donner Memorial site. We chose this specific motel based on the fantastic reviews and the pictures on the website! We would definitely stay here again. Friendly staff and amazing ambience. I especially liked the colorful chairs outside of all the rooms and the hanging bulb lights lit up at night
