Great little motel

It's an average-looking place, but it has a really nice room and a comfortable bed. The first time I checked in online, it took a minute to get up to speed, but it was easy overall. It's a great place!

This motel was a welcomed pit stop on our longer road trip. You can tell that they gave these rooms a facelift and it’s done well enough. Housekeeping left a very sweet handwritten note to welcome my family. There were ants and a pair of flys in the room when we arrived which didn’t bother us but it was worth noting. To settle in we watched tv (which was a great size) however every 20 minutes or so the tv would pause on its own. As someone who falls asleep to background noise this was pretty frustrating. Overall this is your average roadside motel.

Noisy

I asked if I could get a room on the second floor. They said yes but still gave me a room on the first floor. I could hear the footsteps from upstairs clearly. And the waterpipes were very noisy. There was a fly in the room all night.

Great AC! Comfy mattress, pretty clean except the carpet. It could use a good scrubbing. Loved having Netflix on the tv. Staff was great communicating via text and messages. The area surrounding the hotel is pretty run down, and there is not a convenient spot for my dog to go potty.

Had no service and didn’t realize this is a hands free motel so check in was a pain and extra work. Ants and spiders in our room, luke warm water at best in shower and door had a big gap in between the door and jam. Lipstick on a pig, better fill out the registration card or it’s going to take you 45 minutes to get your room upon arrival even at 11pm after 8 hours of driving.

We had a one night stay here while traveling. It was a very nice surprise to see all the effort with the nice upgrades inside and outside. Clean, comfortable, safe, reasonably priced and within easy driving distance to Shasta City, downtown Dunsmuir and Castle Craig. The bed had soft, comfortable bedding and a great mattress. We would definitely stay here again when in the area.
