It’s worth staying just to see the history behind this, what could be incredible place. We hope they get to finish the restoration as it is amazing. It’s old a very dated, it’s clean inside the room. Off street parking, a great little bar to meet the locals and the bar staff are really nice.
The staff was very friendly and accomidating. Nice little store, diner, and bar, with a pool table and shuffle board but unfortunatly closed on mondays. Private patio and large room. Would definitely return.
One stop shop. They have a cafe, convenient store and bar all on the property, live bands play on the weekends in the lounge, Room was clean and comfortable. All the staff and locals were extremely friendly and accommodating. Will be coming back again.
Like an old chain hotel set in magnificent redwood forest.room was fine, lots of parking. Lots of young friendly people enjoying a weekend night in the outdoor bar area.
Nice area , very good, close dining options, excellent room

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Beautiful area and cool historic aspect to the lodge. It’s a work in progress with the remodel. The room was super comfortable and clean, it’s all brand new. Nice TV, good desk for working and onsite store with beer/wine. Great rate foe the value - cafe was closed on Monday / Tues during my stay: I’d stay here again!
