We got one of the recently-remodeled rooms, and it was very nice and cozy. The beds were comfortable, and the room was very clean. The gentleman that checked us in was extremely nice and even offered to help with luggage. If we come back to the area we would absolutely stay here again. For those showing up to the area after 5-6pm, please be aware that basically everything here and in Bodega Bay shuts down super early so plan your dinner accordingly.

Great Getaway 👍

This Lodge surprised me. All the rooms are slightly different looking and we were given the option to pick our own room since they were not super busy. The gentleman at the counter, Ryder, was absolutely professional and welcoming, very kind and helped us find the best room for our needs. All the rooms are very clean well put together and comfortable. We picked one with a king size bed on the second floor. They have a sweet with two queen size beds in separate rooms on the ground floor that looks absolutely amazing and we will pick next time. The property is quiet and well placed in the small town of occidental. Right across the street is a great place for breakfast and a wonderful oat milk latte. The food options are plentiful, serving some big and the prices absolutely reasonable. For dinner there are couple of choices but I must warn you only open on the weekends. We went into Santa Rosa to do some food as well which was only 25 to 30 minute drive. Occidental sits in a beautiful area of Redwood forests, and if you're looking to go ziplining there is canopy Adventures only 5 minutes from the lodge. We had a great time and will absolutely return! We highly recommend above any hotel. They have some rooms that are dog friendly and some rooms that they intentionally don't allow any pets for people who may have allergies or preferences. There were no signs or smells of any other pets ever having been in the room we stayed in with our little fur friend.

*read entire review for accuracy It’s O.K. Worn and dated, but functional. Most everything in the room was out of date, but clean on the surface * No phone/phone cable plugins No outlets center nightstand TV was OLD, not hdtv, limited channels Room definitely showed age: Stain on ceiling Large dirt/stain spots on carpet Surface clean, but otherwise …. hmm *I WOULD consider staying here again. Great location for exploring the nearby coast! We never spend anytime in the room. Good room rate, all things considered. Accommodations in the area are super expensive (because of the great location). We searched online and found a room here (2 queen beds), 2 nights $250 all in. Not a destination resort, but definitely budget friendly for travelers, trekkers, dreamers, etc. ** Travel tip: If you’re going to a beach, hiking trail, destination park GO EARLY! The park, parking lot and trails fill up mid-morning. Expect bus loads of kids mid morning, which may affect your serenity ….

This is an old-fashioned layout for a motel with one's car right outside the door. Roomy and spacious, with a great shower stall, water pressure and amenities.

I really enjoy staying here when I come to the area for school. The staff is friendly and personable, unlike a lot of places. And it has nice touches- like real glasses for drinking instead of cheap plastic ones. The town of Occidental is tranquilly situated among redwoods.

Lovely place to stay

Great place to stay. Clean and tidy and the bed was very comfortable. Staff at reception were very helpful and informative. Howard Station is directly across the road and do a fantastic breakfast. Overall, Occidental is a lovely little village, off the beaten track.

It is a basic, clean, no frills motel, which is what I would expect for about $100 a night. The TV got a lot of channels and had an easy to use remote! The bed was pretty comfortable, but definitely bring your own pillows. It had a nice pool, though it was too cool to swim, but the furnishings around the pool were comfortable to sit and lay on. The biggest downside for me was how noisy it was being on a bottom floor, because I could hear the people above me walking back-and-forth and back back-and-forth nonstop. Definitely bring earplugs! It had a coffee maker, microwave, and mini fridge. There was a farmers market going on across the street and there is a market there to buy food. It’s surrounded by a hillside with nice trees. The soda machine doesn’t work, but you purchase water and a few sodas inside the office for $2 each. If I were to stay again, I would definitely ask for a second floor room in the back by the swimming pool, because it looks like a newer wing. Although I’m sure if the weather were hot, that room would be noisy because of kids in the pool. So maybe a second floor room somewhere in the middle of the property.
