Very Good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
I read reviews before I booked and some said ok for passing through. Don’t stay here. The guy that checked us in was barefoot and looked asleep. Our room was unlocked and the bathroom floor mat was on a chair outside. The room was horrible. It smelled so bad of mold and mildew it was hard to breathe. Very dusty and dirty. Stains everywhere. Feminine products in the trash. A used toothbrush and deodorant in the medicine cabinet. The hair dryer cord was broken and the wires were hanging there. We left. We could not stay. So overly disappointed.
Basic but clean. Just what I needed for the night after a long day of driving.

Older drive-in type of motel, unique but there was a big group using the common backyard area for a party in the evening so we stayed in our room. Clean, simple room with air conditioning. We didn’t have pets with us but good to know that they allow them. Check in at the office was easy.
We just stopped overnight on a long drive. The room was fine. Kind of nostalgic. Reminisic of the Route 66 motels. Cute pillows on the bed. Bed was a bit soft (I am a bigger guy) wife was OK with it. Had a frig, microwave and Flat screen tv. Ice machine was not working but there were ice trays with ice in the frig. Yak's Burgers was close for a meal. Yak's has a charge station behind it for an EV. The town of Shasta is not far.
Staff was incredibly kind, funny and informative about surrounding areas and things to do, and places to eat. Would recommend to other people and would come back. Has a nice cabin vibe to it rather than a motel feeling. Very homey. Great location. Close to a good burger place and botanical gardens. Easy walk to hedge creek falls.
Dirty and very run down. Sheets looked like they’d never been washed. Room stank musty and damp. WiFi kept dropping and no cell service (AT&T)

The description of the hotel was completely untrue. The rooms were filthy. The carpet was ripped. Ice cube trays were frozen over. This place needs a major cleanup.

Family unit large but not fancy.
We booked this place for our family if 6 for two nights in July. The size worked out perfectly, the family unit had two double beds and two twin beds that stack. It has a kitchen but we couldn’t figure out how to make the oven work. It was a convenient location to the Dunsmuir waterfalls. The actual hotel is quite old and run down but they did their best to keep it clean, and had two working AC units which kept the place cool in 100 degrees. The size and space was large, but definitely not fancy. The price was right.
Found milkshake containers under bedside table, window screens had holes in them, a/c was ancient and insufficient, ice machine was broken. But the host was nice, the place held some charm and it was quiet.

Worked for us. Short walk to Hedge Creek Falls trailhead. Good dinner downtown at the Wherlhouse.
Upon arrival, I noticed that it was easy to get to from the freeway and had ample parking. Location was great with plenty of trees and nice views from the property. We were able to check in a little early during a major heatwave, which was appriciated. Outside of that, we didn't have much interaction with lodge staff. The ice machine was out of order, but there was a soda vending machine available. The room is in need of updating. The "air conditioning" is a swamp cooler that didn't help much when it was 109° outside. The bed mattress was pretty uncomfortable & I didn't sleep most of the night. I liked the unique aviary & koi pond, and the outdoor picnic area was very relaxing.
This was a pleasant little place to stay that accommodated our two dogs perfect. The parakeets and the huge coy in the pond were great. Go to the pizza factory and walk by the river. Great place!!!
The property was clean however definitely needs some simple repairs which could definitely make the value worth it. Missing window screens, poorly remodeled with broken items, weird mold smell in the room and very spotty wifi. But the host was nice and the location was close to two beautiful waterfalls.

Got the job done.
Cedar Lodge Motel got the job done, I had a place to sleep but it could use some improvements. None of the outlets would hold my computer charger, kept falling out. There is only a person at the the front counter from 11am to 4pm.
One benefit, they do have an aviary with some pretty sweet birds!
