Travelodge by Wyndham Turlock
201 W Glenwood Ave, Turlock, CA 95380, Turlock, United States
1-star hotel
Guest rating: 2.6 / 5
Travelodge by Wyndham Turlock is a budget, 1-star motel at 201 W Glenwood Ave in Turlock, California, positioned within a couple of miles of downtown cultural sites such as the Carnegie Arts Center and Turlock Historical Society Museum. Rooms are simply furnished with complimentary Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, and coffeemakers, with some units featuring kitchenettes and suites adding separate seating areas. On-site amenities include a free continental breakfast served in a cozy common room with a fireplace and TV, an outdoor pool, BBQ pits, and coin laundry facilities. The property sits close to a bus stop (Linwood & Lander, about 560 meters away) and offers easy freeway access, making it a practical overnight stop for travelers passing through the Central Valley. Nearby recreation ranges from Donnelly Park and the Stanislaus County Fairgrounds to the more distant McConnell State Recreation Area for fishing and camping, and the Hilmar Cheese Company Visitor Center roughly 6 kilometers away. Guest feedback, however, points to notable inconsistency in room upkeep and cleanliness that prospective visitors should weigh against the low nightly rate.
Best for
This motel suits budget-conscious road-trippers and short-stay travelers who prioritize low cost, freeway accessibility, and proximity to restaurants, groceries, and gas stations over polished amenities. It can also work for families on a tight budget, since children 17 and under stay free with an adult and there's an on-site pool and BBQ area for downtime.
Travel tips
The Linwood & Lander bus stop is about 560 meters away, useful for guests without a car, and downtown Turlock's arts and dining scene is only a couple of miles off. Anglers and campers heading to McConnell State Recreation Area should plan for roughly a 9.7-mile drive. Given recurring guest reports of room-condition issues, it's wise to inspect your room at check-in and flag any problems with staff immediately.
What guests say
Across more than a thousand reviews, guests often cite the motel's convenient location near restaurants, grocery stores, gas stations, and the freeway as a practical advantage for an overnight stop. A significant portion of feedback, however, focuses on maintenance and cleanliness shortfalls, including reports of non-working hot water, insufficient towel supplies, and pest problems such as roaches. Several reviewers describe unresolved requests to staff for basic fixes like trash removal. The overall low average rating of 2.6 out of 5 reflects a pattern of inconsistent room quality and service across stays.
