Location is beautiful! Neighbors???

The room was very charming and comfortable. Friendly staff and the rate was very affordable given the proximity to the redwood's state park. The floor could have been cleaner, but we have stayed in far worse. The nearby neighborhood is a bit rundown and the bar next door was a bit sketch on the night we were there.

I was looking for a hotel to stay in right outside of the avenue of giants so I could start my day driving through it on my way to eureka. I wanted to maximize my first day of vacation after flying into San Fran and ended up not getting into Redway until 12:30am. The hotel staff were flexible and were able to provide us with late check in. I’m medium boujee about hotels but also on a medium budget, especially when it’s just a quick sleep over. My top priorities are safety, cleanliness, and location. It checked all the boxes. I was nervous about the location being remote or sketchy but it was right next to a restaurant and a gas station and it felt safe. I definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a place in the area for a moderate price.

Super loud! Not as expected for the motel in the woods. Right off the road and next to the bar which closes only after 12 am. So, a lot of people, motocyclices, and loud conversations! Will never book this place again ...

Only thing I liked about this property was the manager was very nice. Otherwise, the room smelled moldy. Bugs were in the room. In order to stretch the hand soap and shower gel, you can tell they just added water to it so it was literally water. The bathroom floor had unidentifiable stuff on it that was clearly unmopped. Manager was cool and nice though!

This hotel was old and worn out. I would have been ok with that if the description and photos had not been so misleading. Many of the pieces of furniture in the photos did not exist. The beds were not comfortable, one you rolled into the center and struggled to get out of. The linens and bedding were cheap and rough. The darkout curtains were full of holes. The only good thing was the bar next door. They were nice and didn't get noisy.

Our room's smoke alarm went off and the hotel staff helped us take it out, but it already scared my kids. Also, my parents' room was wreaked of the smell of smoke (previous guests must have been smoking in the room).

Made reservation a month ahead. Not many choices on the south end of the redwoods. Picked by positive reviews and Expedia’s description. Arrived around 8 pm. Office was dark and property not well lighted. Vacancy sign lit the way. The man who checked us in was friendly, but think we may have gotten him out of bed. The “restaurant” next door is a full blown bar with drunks and ruckus on a Wednesday night. Walls are thin and can hear other travelers conversations, and assume they heard us. The poor person above us used the bathroom frequently all night long. The room had been updated and generally clean. The walls and baseboards could use some wiping down and/or a fresh coat of paint. Easy check out.

Careful- loud bar next door!

If you want to head to the redwoods on a Saturday night with a happening bar next door to really let loose then this is the place for you! This neat little roadside motel was just right for an affordable layover, nice manager, beds ok, spacious room, but did we not anticipate the trumping from the bar’s house music until late into the night which was not for us. We had to be up at 6am for a race so this was a bummer. Maybe other nights of the week would be more peaceful.
