I was ready to give this privately owned property a great review because it checked so many boxes. It was conveniently located, the staff at check-in were friendly and easygoing, and our room was clean. After a long day of driving up Highway 1 from San Francisco, we were looking forward to a comfortable place to rest before exploring the Redwoods the next morning.

Unfortunately, the experience took a disappointing turn when we discovered there was no hot water for our showers. After a full day on the road, a hot shower was something we had really been looking forward to, and starting the next morning with a cold shower wasn't exactly ideal. I'm hoping this was just a one-time issue, but it's something future guests may want to be aware of.

The motel is situated right before the entrance of the Avenue of Giants in Humboldt Redwoods State Park. There is a bar that is right next to the motel that was playing music till late into the night. The room itself was a bit dusky and some of the furnishings need to be updated, but it was manageable for a one night stay.

The staff was very nice. Room super clean, newly decorated and painted. Very nice rooms and good value. There was a bigger than a tiny fridge. The one thing I would say is when you don't have a full house you can spread guests out. We had someone right over top of us both nights that was stomping around and very noisy. There was no reason to put someone in the room right over us with most rooms empty. There were only four cars the first night, five the second night, and I think they had 16 or 18 rooms. During the slow season, you have the luxury of spacing people out, so there's rooms in between and it's quieter for everyone. Thank you. Overall a great stay!

The hotel is very close to free way 101 and the redwoods state park. Hence we chose this hotel. It is very quiet though it's close to the free way 101, that's what I like this hotel the best. The staff was nice when we checked in. The room is big, the shower and hot water are very good. Only issue is we found some long hairs on the bed and floor, which are obviously belong to us. So I double how was the cleaning did before.

I was looking for a hotel to stay in right outside of the avenue of giants so I could start my day driving through it on my way to eureka. I wanted to maximize my first day of vacation after flying into San Fran and ended up not getting into Redway until 12:30am. The hotel staff were flexible and were able to provide us with late check in. I’m medium boujee about hotels but also on a medium budget, especially when it’s just a quick sleep over. My top priorities are safety, cleanliness, and location. It checked all the boxes. I was nervous about the location being remote or sketchy but it was right next to a restaurant and a gas station and it felt safe. I definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a place in the area for a moderate price.

This hotel was old and worn out. I would have been ok with that if the description and photos had not been so misleading. Many of the pieces of furniture in the photos did not exist. The beds were not comfortable, one you rolled into the center and struggled to get out of. The linens and bedding were cheap and rough. The darkout curtains were full of holes. The only good thing was the bar next door. They were nice and didn't get noisy.

Made reservation a month ahead. Not many choices on the south end of the redwoods. Picked by positive reviews and Expedia’s description. Arrived around 8 pm. Office was dark and property not well lighted. Vacancy sign lit the way. The man who checked us in was friendly, but think we may have gotten him out of bed. The “restaurant” next door is a full blown bar with drunks and ruckus on a Wednesday night. Walls are thin and can hear other travelers conversations, and assume they heard us. The poor person above us used the bathroom frequently all night long. The room had been updated and generally clean. The walls and baseboards could use some wiping down and/or a fresh coat of paint. Easy check out.

If you want to head to the redwoods on a Saturday night with a happening bar next door to really let loose then this is the place for you! This neat little roadside motel was just right for an affordable layover, nice manager, beds ok, spacious room, but did we not anticipate the trumping from the bar’s house music until late into the night which was not for us. We had to be up at 6am for a race so this was a bummer. Maybe other nights of the week would be more peaceful.

The stay started off with being told I was required to pay a fee for my LEGITIMATE service dog because, “We just charge for all dogs, it doesn’t matter” Well, according to federal ADA guidelines, it DOES matter and you, sir, have now had a complaint filed with the ADA and DOJ. Aside from that, the noise levels are off the charts, people socializing in the parking lot at all hours, and an overall sketchiness to the entire area. After not sleeping well due to all of the above, I woke in the morning to find ants crawling all over my very carefully sealed up food, going up and down the electrical cords and all around the coffee pot (I have photos but no place to upload them for this review). To be clear, I never leave comments but this experience was just too much. I highly recommend staying far, far away from this place - especially if your medical needs require your service dog to travel with you.

We arrived at about 11:30pm and our room had not been cleaned. They had several people go and clean the room, and they were all very kind and full of remorse.

While we waited in the car the owner chased a person away who was digging through the dumpster.

We lived through the night and the room was cleaned well, but it did not feel like a safe place.

We did not ask for a refund because we respect the owners and see they were working hard to make it right.
