Had a nice stay with my family (including 2 teen daughters and our dog). We originally booked a standard room with 2 queen beds. It was a bit cramped for so many of us and the beds were comfortable but noisy. Eric, the lodge innkeeper, kindly, upgraded us to an available suite the next day which was very comfortable and spacious. We had a lovely time for the remainder of our stay. Thank you!

Little gem of a motel in Lake county

Our stay was interesting. We recently had a huge rain storm, so the blue lake was more of a brown lake. It was too cold to enjoy the water. We look forward to going back in better weather. The good: The staff was incredible. Eric was a pleasure to work with. Ryan the handyman was very polite also. Eric's puppy Ranger is a cutie pie. The room was nice and clean. There were some wear issues, it is not a new facility. Overall the room and grounds were very well kept. We got a room with a spa tub, and fireplace. Our room had front and rear access. We could go to the back, with a lovely lake view just outside our door. There was a nice patio set just outside our door. The dual showerheads in the shower were very nice, my partner and I could take our showers together and had plenty of room. The spa tub, fireplace, fridge, microwave, TV and coffee pot were all in good working order. There was ample parking, I'm sure during the warmer months this place is packed full. The bad: The bed was a bit firm for our tastes. There was a strong chemical smell from cleaning products, but that went away quickly. The heater unit didn't work. (Since we had the fireplace it wasn't needed) Eric offered to exchange our room, we declined the offer, it was appreciated. The towel rack in the bathroom was loose, Ryan replaced it when we went to go run some errands. There is some road noise, it is along hwy 20. The pool was closed (winter season). We look forward to returning in the spring or summer.

A nice motel on the shores of the lake, with excellent staff. Our room was the executive suite, and it suited our needs perfectly. Dog friendly, lots of space, and Eric the manager was an excellent host. The room was warm and cozy when we arrived, and Eric was friendly, attentive and helpful. The location was great for our needs, and the price represented a real value. We were here in the off-season, so some of the small details may have to do with our timing. Our room was clean and comfortable, but a little dated. The Jacuzzi tub was not functional (not a problem for us) and some of the blinds weren’t working well. The coffee maker probably needs to be replaced. The grounds could benefit from a spruce-up, and some guests need to be better and picking up after their dogs. Overall, we were happy with our accommodations and appreciated Eric and his help.

Disappointed

We were very disappointed. When we arrived at 3:00 we had hoped to sit by a peaceful, serene lake before the sun set behind the mountain. Instead, we got an hour of loud leaf-blowing......They should have that kind of work finished before the check-in time.....The hotel is written up as an all-remodeled hotel, but in the end, it is still just an old-style highway motel. The manager was very friendly.

Left a list of things that need to be fixed in the drop box. The smell of the cleaner is so bad you can smell it outside the rooms. We were able to move from 15 to 12 which was better. The staff was great. The grounds are lovely. Lots of places to sit outside, plenty of BBQ's. The bed was really comfortable.

Revisit - Recharged

This was my second visit and it was just what I needed. Some quality, quiet 'me' time. It's nestled right near the waterfront and the room I had faced the lake and the mountain range - It's a beautiful ride to and from Sacramento a simple 2 hour drive. Well worth it hands down.

Unhappy

Room 22's bathroom has a tankless hot water heater supplying neighboring units that roared off and on much of the evening and morning. Poor planning. Two screaming toddlers were heard via thin connecting door. There was sand-like grit in the bed sheets Dirt under the beds. Sink drain extremely slow. “Mountain View” is very misleading. It's a busy highway and parking lot.

Property is on busy highway so there is road noise. It is also on a lake so great for water sports. The property offers many water sport equipment for rent - such as kayaks, paddle boards etc. It is a motel with a big parking lot in the front and a small lawn in the back with view of the lake. Not much privacy from other guests. But the staff is really great, extremely helpful and friendly. Room itself is basic and relatively clean. Bed is comfortable. We were there for a wedding nearby so did not take advantage of the lake.

We stay here every year, and saw a significant difference this year. Bath tub was great, as usual, but the fireplace did not work, and someone kept knocking on my door in the middle of the night 1AM‐3AM which made me very uneasy and I felt unsafe. Because of that, I got no rest whatsoever
