Room number 1 is loud

We were assigned room 1. Single-pane window, 35 feet from the highway. Not much sleep the 3 nights we stayed. There was a light on just outside the window and the curtains did not cover the window; could not get the room dark. The hallway is an echo chamber and our room door was not weather-stripped, so all noise was easily heard. The front door did not have a retractable arm at the top that would close an open door and people would just throw the door closed and it would slam shut all hours of the day and night. If you are hard of hearing or deaf, I would say this is the room for you. If you are a light sleeper, I would make a suggestion to management to not assign you this room. Luckily temps had cooled and didn't need to use air. Good thing because 4 mini-split condensors just outside the single-pane window.

This property was a pleasant surprise. It isn't easy to find a place to stay near the south entrance to Lassen Volcanic NP, and we were happy to find this. It is easy to locate on the highway, but it becomes clear pretty quickly that the overall property still has construction going on. The rooms, however, are very nice - clean, efficient, and the bathroom was exceptionally well done! We had a good 2 night stay. Be sure to watch for an email in advance - you need a code to access the room. I missed the message initially, it came 7 days in advance when I was traveling and not watching email closely, and there was no second message closer to check in. We definitely enjoyed our time here.

Living with crawling insects around bed

When we first arrived, we noticed there was a cricket moving on the floor. We took a picture, killed the cricket, and called to the manager. The manager said someone will come to take care of it, so we left the room for hiking. When we came back at 9 pm, there are countless ants on the floor, moving every where especially near the bed. We immediately reported to the manager, and the manager told us they were unable to find the cricket in the afternoon, was unable to change the room as they are fully booked, and not sure where the ants came from. The manager said he will have someone vacuum the room soon, and after one hour of waiting, someone finally come. However, these are surface treatment. They left the vacuum to us, but no matter how many times we vacuum the place, there are still ants on the floor. After we woke up in the morning, more ants are around the bed frame area. We told the manager and did not get any response. All the manager did was just trying to cover things up. I don't know who will be living there later on but I doubt they will do any proper treatment before letting anyone staying there. They just try to cover up as much as possible

I really liked that the room was very spacious. It’s close to Lassen National park. Given that most guests at the hotel are likely coming to enjoy the nature and the national park, it would be nice to have a patio by the hotel to rest after a hike in the park. There was no lobby, and the outside area didn’t have anything except a bench facing the road. There was someone’s cloth in our closet. And the door didn’t lock from inside. Our toddler could turn the knob and get out of the room easily so we had to block the door with furniture. The check in was smooth, we just used the provided code for the door. There were guests in other rooms, but it’s a small hotel, probably just 4 rooms. The rest of the building looked empty to me.
