I actually liked this place. It was cleaner, quieter than other places I have been in. It's not the Ritz Carlton, but I'd return in a pinch. The pool wasn't in service, the only thing I was looking forward to.

I loved this place. It's a surprising oasis right on Old Hwy 99, surrounded by trees with a great vintage feel, beautifully landscaped and lush, with all kinds of birds singing and gorgeous flowers and plants everywhere, and a rooster crowing in the morning. If you're attached to chain hotels like Hilton, however, you probably won't care for it. This place is for people who prefer character, natural beauty and history over new, sterilized, and shiny. The room was adequately clean, certainly somewhat dated, but it was fine. I was sorry the pool wasn't in order, but maybe next year. Meanwhile, it's a great, inexpensive place to stay if you're traveling up or down the 5. Eduardo, the manager, was wonderful. He does all the landscaping and is passionately attached to his plants.
Even prettier at sunset.
Vintage (1960's) U-shaped motel with parking in front of each room. Lots of trees.

Look, I personally love this type of motel, but its not for everyone (most people?). As a race track regular for the last two decades, I have stayed here numerous times. This is a well past its prime motor court from back in the heyday of when driving was part of the adventure rather than something that is tolerated for the least time possible. For me, the best attribute is the peaceful and quiet location. It's a 5 minute drive to Willows, but none of the unfamiliar manic energy of 24-hour commerce, bright gas stations, and random shenanigans common with most other interstate accommodations. There are plenty of reviews detailing the deferred maintenance and evidence of the financial realities of trying to keep an outlying property that is all but invisible to most travelers going, so I won't pile on. I guess I would summarize the Blue Gum Motel like this; if you're wound up tight and are prone to leaving negative reviews because of cracked tiles and spotty internet, then don't even bother. If you appreciate a place with some "character", have a good sense of perspective on what it is and why its like this, and are up to date on all your shots (I'm kidding) then you might give this place a try.

During my 2 night stay, the motel did not refresh linens, clean room, or provide pillow cases.

They were not aware of my reservation when I showed up. I heard the same thing from other people staying there that had booked through Expedia. They had to scramble to find rooms for people because they weren't paying attention to what bookings they had. The property looks alright in pictures, but not so much in person. The pool is empty save for about a foot of dirty water and trash in the bottom of it. The key to my room said it was a key to a different room. There were very noisy guests that stayed loud until late in the night, but the onsite manager never did anything to try to quiet them down as they were yelling inside and outside of their room.

The staff required cash only at check in after payment to Expedia. The main problem was no water in the shower. This place is a weekly or monthly rental ofrooms

booked room through Orbitz, read reviews. The front desk gave me a room that looked like a murder had happened there in 1989. everything in the room was broken and dirty. They had no idea I had my dog with me, I looked for a pet friendly hotel through Orbitz, you guys should refund or voucher me for this. I'll never go back.
