Doesnt look the best from the out side but the rooms are decent for $100. I was pleased to get a nights rest in a clean room. They didnt even charge a deposit! Nice.
The hotel was just what we needed for our stay in Clearlake! Good price to lay our heads at night after a long day of visiting family in the area!
Basic rooms with microwave and fridge but clean and tidy. We will stay here again!

Dog friendly places. Small rooms. Comfortable beds.
The lady working check I was extremely rude! The motel was disgusting. I’m surprise the place is in business! I wouldn’t recommend anyone staying there! It was the worst motel I’ve ever been to!
My start was great! The room was clean enough (someone left Taco Bell in the fridge). The fridge was large and cold. There was a microwave as well. A table to work at and a table to eat at (chairs for both). Right on the lake was a big plus! A lot of folks hanging out in the parking lot. Don’t bother me none but it may bother others!
They start was perfect! I just needed a place to rest before I hit the road again. The covers had burn marks as did the drapes. I’m sure this is do to the tweakers hanging out and smoking. They were nice enough tho and didn’t bother me. The room was comfy in spite of the decor being older. It wasn’t like I was moving in. The pool was open and the view of the lake was right behind it. Very nice indeed!
