Only thing I liked about this property was the manager was very nice. Otherwise, the room smelled moldy. Bugs were in the room. In order to stretch the hand soap and shower gel, you can tell they just added water to it so it was literally water. The bathroom floor had unidentifiable stuff on it that was clearly unmopped. Manager was cool and nice though!

This hotel was old and worn out. I would have been ok with that if the description and photos had not been so misleading. Many of the pieces of furniture in the photos did not exist. The beds were not comfortable, one you rolled into the center and struggled to get out of. The linens and bedding were cheap and rough. The darkout curtains were full of holes. The only good thing was the bar next door. They were nice and didn't get noisy.

Our room's smoke alarm went off and the hotel staff helped us take it out, but it already scared my kids. Also, my parents' room was wreaked of the smell of smoke (previous guests must have been smoking in the room).

Hidden gem, nestled in redwood country. It doesn’t look it fro the outside but this was a cool hotel to stay the night during my travels south from the PNW.

Made reservation a month ahead. Not many choices on the south end of the redwoods. Picked by positive reviews and Expedia’s description. Arrived around 8 pm. Office was dark and property not well lighted. Vacancy sign lit the way. The man who checked us in was friendly, but think we may have gotten him out of bed. The “restaurant” next door is a full blown bar with drunks and ruckus on a Wednesday night. Walls are thin and can hear other travelers conversations, and assume they heard us. The poor person above us used the bathroom frequently all night long. The room had been updated and generally clean. The walls and baseboards could use some wiping down and/or a fresh coat of paint. Easy check out.

The inn was actually more like a motel. The staff were all very helpful, friendly and accommodating. My main issue was the floor. I am a barefoot girl and the bottom of my feet were very dirty from walking around barefoot and caused me to wear my shoes inside. There were a few minor maintenance issues which were taken care of once they were brought to the attention of the manager.

Careful- loud bar next door!

If you want to head to the redwoods on a Saturday night with a happening bar next door to really let loose then this is the place for you! This neat little roadside motel was just right for an affordable layover, nice manager, beds ok, spacious room, but did we not anticipate the trumping from the bar’s house music until late into the night which was not for us. We had to be up at 6am for a race so this was a bummer. Maybe other nights of the week would be more peaceful.

The stay started off with being told I was required to pay a fee for my LEGITIMATE service dog because, “We just charge for all dogs, it doesn’t matter” Well, according to federal ADA guidelines, it DOES matter and you, sir, have now had a complaint filed with the ADA and DOJ. Aside from that, the noise levels are off the charts, people socializing in the parking lot at all hours, and an overall sketchiness to the entire area. After not sleeping well due to all of the above, I woke in the morning to find ants crawling all over my very carefully sealed up food, going up and down the electrical cords and all around the coffee pot (I have photos but no place to upload them for this review). To be clear, I never leave comments but this experience was just too much. I highly recommend staying far, far away from this place - especially if your medical needs require your service dog to travel with you.

We didn't have a lot of choices in the area but lucked out taking a chance on this one! Not a looker from the outside but the staff lives onsite and were very friendly. The room was comfortable and extremely clean. There is a bar next door that serves food until midnight too so that is a plus for such a remote area
