Room was OK, this lodge is right off the 101 freeway and easy to find. This is a motel/motor lodge, park right outside the room, so easy parking and easy unload. Our room 121 was in the back by the dumpster, so not a scenic view. But we were tired from a long drive and just stayed in the room, so not a problem. Thought I read somewhere that there was a Continental breakfast included, but the manager said no. Good value overall: beds, bathroom, TV, fridge, microwave and wifi were fine.

Parking was around the back, open air, but worry free. Older building but kept up pretty well. Right off US 101 freeway, so easy access. Need car to get to most nearby food and shopping.

Clean room. Site oddly shaoed, requiring sideway parking spots. I was in a room upstairs where stairs were not close to my room. No soap and difficult to find electrixal outlrt for computer at desk. That sounds like a lot of stuff, but they're all minor. The hotel was fine and the staff nice.

Better than a Motel 6. Ok location though noisy at times. I had problems with room heaters. The first was like a loud dentist drill that I changed rooms and “settled” on the 2nd room by cranking up the temperature so I didn’t have to have it run while I was sleeping.

This is very very basic side-of-the-road motel, not quite as nice as the reviews made it sound. Pro: They accommodated a very late check-in for us when we arrived town. The bed was very comfortable. Towels were nice. Parking was easy and free. Con: The room was clean-ish but some dirty areas (lamps were dusty, sink was slow to drain, etc). The room was very tiny and very basic. We were not given enough towels or pillows so had to request more, which they did bring but seemed surprised we'd ask. It was a good location for our hiking trip but we would not stay again, we'd pay a bit more for something else nearby.
