This motel is a great deal. We have stayed in many inexpensive places and they are often dumps, but the Blue Gum Motel exceeded all of our expectations. It was one of the most quiet stays I've had in a long time, and the place was very clean and very comfortable. More

I searched on Trip Advisor before I chose here. I am glad I did!! The $42 rate was very reasonable. The motel is off the beaten path so it is VERY quiet and feels like you are out in the country even though I-5 is not too far away. I felt very safe and secure. The rooms are big and... More

This motel is easy access from the freeway, yet away from the commotion of the motel/restaurant jumble of travel stops. Very quiet. Roses, grass, and wind in the trees were relaxing. Hostess had detailed map of food services in the area. Nothing fancy, but everything I need for a place to stop for the night: clean, safe, comfortable. I would... More

I am traveling on business and could have stayed at any lodging in town, but had googled the area and thought this place looked charming. I flew from Vegas to Oakland, then drove to Petaluma, Santa Rosa and after an unanticipated stop in Napa decided to press on rather than stop when I normally would have, simply because I was... More

We just returned from a trip to California and stayed again at the Blue Gum on our way down. We had stayed there last Oct. (see previous review) and were a bit puzzled by some of the other reviews that had appeared since then. Despite the bad things written, we went again based on our own experiences and were NOT...

I decided to stay here based on the positive reviews this motel received. Something has changed here - new owners? I had second thoughts when I tried to check in and I was told to come back later, because there was nobody available to help me who speaks english. My room was dirty and dingy with cheap and ugly 1970's... More

We'd had a great experience at a tripadvisor-recommended motel elsewhere in January so decided to give this place a go. The owner/hostess was very nice, but we discovered, after we'd moved all our gear into the room, that the bed was broken (VERY noisy when we sat or moved on it), the sheets too small (they pulled loose whenever we...

I decided to book this hotel after reading the comments for a trip south - it's just to sleep so I don't need anything fancy and the combination of price and such great reviews we thought we'd give it a try. First of all, the lady at the front desk was kind - so those reviews were certainly not wrong.... More
