This place is horrible now. They charge for everything when it comes to amenities - Im surprised AC was not put on my bill. Ridiculous! Hot tub was broken, TV didn't work, $10 for two hours of PROPANE, electric boats dying in the middle of the lake (TWO DAYS in row) battery NOT charged fully - but the audacity to still be rented out.....and NO REFUNDS OR COMPENSATIONS. Definitely wont be back.

Was traveling for work and wanted a hotel option that was out of the city and I found this gem. Waking up the lake every morning was wonderful and then closing the day watching the sunset at the lake was also beautiful. The staff was helpful, it was clean, and it was quiet. Will be going back again soon!

The description of this lodge/property is deceiving. Furthermore, the property is in dire need of maintenance and the room was in such an unacceptable condition that it wasn't safe to stay. We noticed a dead cockroach, lots of dirt, and a terrible stench. The desk clerk was extremely unprofessional, rude, and flippant regarding our concerns. We left in frustration in under an hour and had to struggle for days to finally get a resolution.

We booked this location, and agreed to the higher nightly rate than other nearby locations, because of the lake access. Unfortunately, lake access ends after check out (11 am) and to continue to swim, you’ll need to pay a day rate per person. As someone who travels often, I’ve never seen a hotel or lodge that cuts off amenities at check out — it’s usually included as a perk for staying on site. This, coupled with a fee to use their BBQs, is why we don’t plan to stay here again. There’s an unnecessary amount of nickel and diming here that is a real turn off. Oh, and the shower drain was clogged.

I felt so relaxed after my stay here. Blue Lakes is beautiful. The Lodge has a peaceful vibe. I rented a paddle board and enjoyed a lovely hour enjoying the views. The water was refreshing and not too cold. Blue Lakes doesn’t appear to have any public beaches so staying here is an easy way to access the water. You can rent boats, kayaks, inner tubes and water bikes. I highly recommend!

I didn’t have a very good experience this time. You’ll understand why they have lights around the eaves of the building that shoot into the rooms. I didn’t need to turn the light on in the road because of this. Well, I also couldn’t sleep. I couldn’t find where the ice was and it was a really hot day. And I couldn’t access the Wi-Fi.
The rooms are really clean and the bed was comfortable, but truly are the two most important things. I decided to get up early since I couldn’t sleep well. That was a mistake because they were working on the highway and it was just orange cones all the way through Hopland. I know that’s a temporary situation, but it wasn’t fun at my age. The staff are always friendly.

I booked a two bedroom room on my way over the mountains. I showed up and found the room I rented was not available apparently. I was assigned a different room. Walking up to the office, there was so much cigarette smoke, it was gross. I got a room key and walked to my room past the broken looking ice machine. When I unlocked the room, I was super disappointed. I’m not sure how this place got a 8+ score. The ac/heat unit under the window is covered if you close the curtains, there were bugs on the ceiling in the bathroom, dead bugs in lamp, bug on bed, bathroom light broken, shampoo, body soap and conditioner containers broken in shower, the room was not what was in the pictures and if so, they were old photos. My son and I had been on the road all day and just wanted to sleep….unfortunately the RV park across the lake had other plans. The music was so loud until almost 1am. I think the people who appear to be living at this place must have given the ratings. Definitely not worth the price paid.

False advertising. I paid $168/night and there was no pool and no beach. I was willing to pay the price because the photos and description called it a “Lodge”. This place was a roadside motel. We were next to the road so loud we couldn’t sleep. Although we paid for 2 nights we left in 18 hours. It showed a dining room that was not there.

Not for Me

I booked this from hotels.com using the reserved now pay later option. I reserved using my personal card but plan on using my business card when I checked in. When I checked in, I tried to put my business card down to pay and cover any incidentals but was told I couldn’t do that and they took payment from the card on file already. This is inconvenient because I have to wait days to get reimbursed. The room was clean but the mattress was hard as rock and whatever scent they use is over powering and made my eyes water the air conditioning unit was at bed level so it was blowing in my face or my back. My business meeting ended early I decided return home and asked if I could get refunded for the night I wasn’t going to stay but they said no which is fine just thought I’d ask. When I received my itemized receipt i noticed that room rate was different than the one I booked in Hotels.com. I asked the manager via phone since they were not on site why couldn’t changed the card on file when I checked in and she stated it was because they processed the payment 7 days in advance. I checked my bank statement and they did not charge me until I checked in on 7/27 and even my itemized receipt says charged on 7/27 so that reason was not true. I also inquired about the room rate difference and she told me I needed to take it up with hotels.com. This has been escalated with hotels.com but just a heads up if you book through a 3rd party you might be surprised at the end.

We have been going to LBL for almost 20 years now. This is the first year I’ve been disappointed in almost everything. It used to be that LBL was a resort and now it’s almost a glorified motel 6 on the water. First the price is the same as before- pricy but doable. We even added a night because we love to fish and they were on fire this week. The process of adding a night was easy from Expedia was fast, but I went to the office and asked if we could get a deal on another night. I was given a huge “Sigh”, and it will be $full price+tax. Plus the kitchenette rooms are not really set up for complete usage. The beds are the worst! Even our bathroom needed plunging on the first night. The office was closed and we had to wait till the next morning to get handed a crappy plunger.
Also come to find out when it’s check out time you have to leave. You’re not able to stay the day without paying $$ for day use. WTH we stayed all week over $fifteen hundred and we couldn’t swim on checkout day.
Btw during check in I stated I was paying cash and they had cards on file from previous visits that they tried running EVERY card on file for full price. SHADY!!!
I’m so disappointed and deflated over our yearly family vacation that I will spend my hard earned money with another lodging on Blue Lakes for next year.

Pretty spot but i won’t be back

There’s something “off” about this property & feels like there’s no real oversight or understanding of what hospitality means in this business. It’s billed as a lakefront resort- but there are extra charges to use the bbq grills that are on the property, use of floaties, etc. There’s no beach although the lawn is nice. Staffing seems to be another issue with various people traipsing back & forth, a leaf blower going for over 5 hours one day- we finally begged him to stop. Started again the next day at least for a shorter time. The manager is doing the best she can but this place needs dedicated full time hands on attention.

Avoid This Place! Rude Staff, Terrible Service!

Rude Staff, and Run-Down Property

We live 25 minutes away and stay on Blue Lakes every summer. Everything else was booked, so we gave this place a shot. Big mistake.

We reserved two rooms, one for my husband, baby, and me, and one for my adult son and his girlfriend. We arrived at 1pm (check-in is 3). In the past, they let us use the lake early or charged a small fee. But the new owners were rude from the start. The office was locked, and once I found someone, she said it would be $30 per person or $50 per room just to sit by the lake until our room was done.

I asked them to call when our room was ready and I'd pay for early check-in ($50). They never did. 2 hours with a baby... At 3pm, check-in was slow and chaotic. Other guests were upset too. We were finally given one room, but the second wasn’t ready for another hour. When I expressed how inconsiderate it was to leave us sitting in the heat with a baby, the woman got defensive and rude, then made a snide remark about “one-day stays.” as if we weren’t welcome.

When the second room was finally ready, she told my husband, “This isn’t a 5-star hotel or a resort.” No kidding, but basic courtesy still matters.

The rooms were outdated and poorly maintained. Soap dispensers were broken, no recycling, and everything felt cheap. We weren’t expecting luxury, just kindness and competence.

Instead, we paid $579 for a truly unpleasant experience. I feel bad for anyone else who ends up here.

The on site manager was very rude and disrespectful. We were hoping to enjoy a family weekend including our daughter and grandchildren. The rooms in general were not clean and the furnishings were broken and dirty, as well. The swimming pool was empty and unusable. We reserved a boat for usage on the lake but due to the high winds the manager deemed it unsafe and refused to refund our $699.07 rental fee. She offered to allow us usage of a gazebo and gas bbq and a “gift certificate” instead. When we refused her offer she became enraged and began insulting us. Needless to say we will never return to or refer anyone to this property. Please beware!

Little gem of a motel in Lake county

Our stay was interesting. We recently had a huge rain storm, so the blue lake was more of a brown lake. It was too cold to enjoy the water. We look forward to going back in better weather.
The good:
The staff was incredible. Eric was a pleasure to work with. Ryan the handyman was very polite also. Eric's puppy Ranger is a cutie pie.
The room was nice and clean. There were some wear issues, it is not a new facility. Overall the room and grounds were very well kept. We got a room with a spa tub, and fireplace. Our room had front and rear access. We could go to the back, with a lovely lake view just outside our door. There was a nice patio set just outside our door. The dual showerheads in the shower were very nice, my partner and I could take our showers together and had plenty of room. The spa tub, fireplace, fridge, microwave, TV and coffee pot were all in good working order. There was ample parking, I'm sure during the warmer months this place is packed full.
The bad:
The bed was a bit firm for our tastes. There was a strong chemical smell from cleaning products, but that went away quickly. The heater unit didn't work. (Since we had the fireplace it wasn't needed) Eric offered to exchange our room, we declined the offer, it was appreciated. The towel rack in the bathroom was loose, Ryan replaced it when we went to go run some errands. There is some road noise, it is along hwy 20. The pool was closed (winter season).
We look forward to returning in the spring or summer.

A nice motel on the shores of the lake, with excellent staff. Our room was the executive suite, and it suited our needs perfectly. Dog friendly, lots of space, and Eric the manager was an excellent host. The room was warm and cozy when we arrived, and Eric was friendly, attentive and helpful. The location was great for our needs, and the price represented a real value.
We were here in the off-season, so some of the small details may have to do with our timing. Our room was clean and comfortable, but a little dated. The Jacuzzi tub was not functional (not a problem for us) and some of the blinds weren’t working well. The coffee maker probably needs to be replaced. The grounds could benefit from a spruce-up, and some guests need to be better and picking up after their dogs. Overall, we were happy with our accommodations and appreciated Eric and his help.

Instead, we got an hour of loud leaf-blowing......They should have that kind of work finished before the check-in time.....The hotel is written up as an all-remodeled hotel, but in the end, it is still just an old-style highway motel. The manager was very friendly.

Left a list of things that need to be fixed in the drop box. The smell of the cleaner is so bad you can smell it outside the rooms. We were able to move from 15 to 12 which was better. The staff was great. The grounds are lovely. Lots of places to sit outside, plenty of BBQ's. The bed was really comfortable.

Revisit - Recharged

This was my second visit and it was just what I needed. Some quality, quiet 'me' time. It's nestled right near the waterfront and the room I had faced the lake and the mountain range - It's a beautiful ride to and from Sacramento a simple 2 hour drive. Well worth it hands down.

Unhappy

Room 22's bathroom has a tankless hot water heater supplying neighboring units that roared off and on much of the evening and morning. Poor planning.

Two screaming toddlers were heard via thin connecting door.

There was sand-like grit in the bed sheets

Dirt under the beds.

Sink drain extremely slow.

“Mountain View” is very misleading. It's a busy highway and parking lot.

Property is on busy highway so there is road noise. It is also on a lake so great for water sports. The property offers many water sport equipment for rent - such as kayaks, paddle boards etc. It is a motel with a big parking lot in the front and a small lawn in the back with view of the lake. Not much privacy from other guests. But the staff is really great, extremely helpful and friendly. Room itself is basic and relatively clean. Bed is comfortable. We were there for a wedding nearby so did not take advantage of the lake.

We stay here every year, and saw a significant difference this year. Bath tub was great, as usual, but the fireplace did not work, and someone kept knocking on my door in the middle of the night 1AM‐3AM which made me very uneasy and I felt unsafe. Because of that, I got no rest whatsoever

Nice setting on small lake. The overpriced room was a painted over 1950 style. Good beds. Needs better furnishings. Mold in shower. Strong cleaning product smell was overpowering, No Food available near or far.

Property is nice, the rooms were not very clean but scott the host and the front desk gentleman fixed it for us. It’s new management so there were hiccups but Scott the host made sure we were taken care of. It is such a beautiful property and the lake is incredible. Would stay there 💯 again!! Such an amazing time. Recommend to everyone!!

I use to work there and the last owners were difficult to work with but they kept that place clean and nice. Its a shame that our small community lost this paradise to someone who only cares about taking your money.

When I checked in, it was just after the check in time and there were so many people there who had apparently bought day passes that there was nowhere for a paying guest to park. At all. It was over 100° and I had dogs in the car and I had to park out by the road. The person who checked me in was not very nice to me, although he was plenty nice to the woman that he checked on before me. The room was good as far as air conditioning and tile floors. The floors were wet and sticky feeling. The bathroom could have used a deep cleaning as well. a couple hours after I checked in there was a public safety power shut off and the staff did not offer any kind of assistance to anyone. Luckily, it came back on after an hour. And perhaps the most disappointing, there is a photo of a pool on the website. The poo looks like it has been out of commission for at least a year. It has been drained and has a couple of feet of disgusting nasty water in the bottom. The entire enclosure is rundown in a state of disrepair with multiple broken pieces of furniture. it looks awful
