For the price, this was a great stay. A little bit outdated and the facility itself needs some TLC but overall beautiful and a great stay with an attentive manager. Would definitely stay again

Property around is nice. Room was clean, bed was good. Otherwise room was utterly without any charm. Like a Motel 6, but with even less decor. Since I only used it for sleeping it was useful. But if I was there for a stay it was a miserable place to be stuck in.

Judith

The hotel looked abandoned. There was no one at the hotel when I arrived. I stayed for 30 minutes and returned a second time 15 minutes later. There was no sign of life anywhere. There was an old faded sign on the door with a phone number… and when I called the person didn’t know why their number was even on the door as he didn’t even worked there anymore. Clearly there had been some serious weather at the river in the last few weeks but that is nothing new in Guerneville. Owners need to handle reservations seriously. I had to leave and find a place to stay in the dark. I better not be charged for this.

I loved the private access to the lake, very convenient and beautiful way to start the morning. The manager, Jay, was very kind and flexible despite the curve balls we threw at him. The place was cozy but does need some work. I liked the convenience of having a kitchen.
