I didn't expect much from a $100 dollar room. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, the AC worked really well, the TV was newer. Yes, the property is older but I was pleasantly surprised. I had room 127, king, non-smoking.

Front staff was friendly and the bed was comfortable. However, the WiFi was spotty at best. Sometimes it wouldn’t connect, sometimes it would connect but it wasn’t actually working, and it took several attempts for it to accept the password that was given to us. Parking was easy enough and the ice machine was working. Overall, it was an affordable place to stay for a night and I’d come back. The shower was my only real compliant about the room itself. It is tiny and the showerhead wasn’t good. It sprayed water in different directions.

This is an older motel that is reasonably well maintained. It is nice for the price. The air conditioning worked well and we liked that it had an adult-sized toilet instead of one of those toddler ones that are becoming common in budget motels.

The room was inexpensive and comfortable and it was right in town making it easy to walk anywhere. The only real bummer was that this loud machine noise lasted for about 45 minutes in the middle of the night that woke both my husband and me up.

They don't have water bottles so make sure you have enough water with you. I guess tap water also works fine.

If you need an inexpensive place to sleep, this place is awesome! No frills, but the property is cheap and safe. Walking distance to a couple restaurants, the local store, gas station, etc. AC, heat and shower work great. Especially a great place for fishermen in the winter who fish all day and then need a safe, clean, inexpensive place to sleep. Good parking for trucks with Driftboats as well.

Keeping in mind that this is a basic, no frills motel, it was clean, conveniently located, everything worked, and I didn't have any problems. One minor quibble is that the check-in experience was odd. They have an office but didn't let me in. They did the whole transaction through a window, which made me feel like I was doing something illicit.

Did not stay here for long. After a long drive from Crescent city up north through 'Ave of Giants', we crashed here. We loved our hikes among redwoods there. The room was big and it is close to the southern entrance of 'Ave of Giants'. There is a good coffee shop/bakery (Il forno) nearby. Tried coffee there. The room was clean. The owner provided a blow dryer that we asked for. All rooms were on same level.

It was good for a stop over driving from San Francisco to the Oregon coast. The guy at the front was very nice and check in was quick. Bed was ok, sheets were scratchy, but it was not expensive and it was clean and quiet. Lots of homeless walking around the town but no problems. Just like a 1950s motor lodge. I had a lot of baggage to bring inside and it was super close to my car.

Check-in was smooth and efficient — one of the few places where staff actually check and respond to Expedia messages! We really appreciated that they honored our request for two side-by-side rooms, making our stay even more comfortable.

The rooms were impressively clean and thoughtfully furnished. Each included:

A table with two chairs

A large, elongated table/dresser combo

Coffee machine with coffee and condiment packets

Shampoo and body wash packets

Plenty of fresh towels

A spotless tub and toilet

Parking was also a major plus — easy, safe, and located directly in front of the rooms. This made unloading luggage super convenient, especially for our late-night check-in. No stress, no long walks, just park and rest.

Overall, a reliable and well-managed stay. Great value, great service, and hassle-free from start to finish!

Nice Stay In Garberville

I stopped by at 11:30 just to confirm my reservation and the host let me check in over 3 hours early. When I went to my room I found that the thermostat was not working, so the host immediately moved me to another room. Very friendly and helpful.

Another great thing was the Humboldt Bar and Grill next door. I was already planning to eat there and was amazed when Google maps said it was a one minute walk. The room had a table and chairs, so I was able to eat in the room and relax after a busy day along the Eel River. I would definitely stay there again.
