The wasn't a spa, room was clean, bed was comfortable and the view along the lake was beautiful. It's a budget motel so don't expect bells and whistles but it's a totally decent place to stay.

My family of 4 stayed at this motel for Fathers Day weekend. Please note, you get what you pay for. When we booked this location, we knew it wasn't the best but it was affordable and it had amenities that our family could utilize; decent rooms, a swimming pool, a bbq area, and a nice pier to fish off of. Well, for starters, our room was covered in flies, the floor felt and looked dirty; I didn't realize how dirty until I looked at the bottom of our feet; our socks were black. It's a concrete building so the room was super musty, but the AC helped. In the middle of the night, we hear scratching coming from the bathroom, we checked and didn't see anything, but could hear it. Well, it was coming from the bathtub! There was a rat or other critter living inside the tub and sounded like it was trying to get out, so that was very disturbing. The pool was foggy and didn't look clean, the pier was very dirty and not maintained, and the bbq area didn't look like it had been kept up to use. And to top it all off, the water at Clearlake is DISGUSTING. Overall, you get what you pay for.
