The walls are thin, we can hear the snore from next door. We can hear the creaking sounds and footsteps from the room upstairs.
The bed is comfortable and the room is spacious because the staff gave us a newly renovated one. There were 4 people in our room, but the staff wouldn’t give us 4 mugs. He told us there’s 2 glasses & 2 mugs so there 4 drinking utensils. But he doesn’t understand that we need the mugs for our coffee but he still didn’t give us extra mugs.

The host was very friendly and helpful. The room had an odd layout but not a big deal… however when we went to bed we observed small blood stains on the sheets and smashed bedbugs on the walls. It was very late but they were able to move us to a different room but it was poorly maintained and outdated. There was no soap or remote control in either room. When I arrived to complain in the morning, the lobby was completely empty.

We were pleased to find a suite that would be pet-friendly and big enough for our family of 5. The front desk staff were very friendly and made you feel right at home. My only recommendation would be to upgrade the kitchen, install new flooring, and do something to insulate the ceilings. I could hear the upstairs guests stomping around at 2:00 in the morning and hardly got any sleep.
The town itself is lovely and the Lodge is right next to all of the shops and restaurants. Overall we really enjoyed our stay!

Absolutely filthy property. Room was full of mold and cigarette smell. The walls were scratched and paint was chipping. Beyond dated. Bathroom paint peeling off walls. Spiders and moths alive and dead in the room. I cannot believe this property hasn’t been shut down for health reasons. And not enough parking so you’re walking all over property to get to your room. Unbelievable.

The property was beautiful on the outside. However, the room was very dated and dingy inside. The lights in the room with the bathroom vanity were all not working. You had to turn on the lights in the water closet and room to bring some light in. The tv signal wasn’t good either. The employees were so so nice though.

A little dated, but nice.
The plywood repair on the second floor walkway, however, was not exactly inspiring. Pool is fine, but the weather was a little chilly to really enjoy it.
Love, the fact that they allow pets.
Bed was comfortable, but the pillows were kind of lumpy.
Not great water pressure on a second floor room shower.
Multiple restaurants and stores for basics are only steps away.

The Lodge is set in a beautiful redwood area. It was quiet and everything was within walking distance. The Lodge itself is a bit outdated, but very clean, and the staff was
very helpful.

Very family friendly amenities, and the (unheated) pool was enjoyed by the aquaphiles in our group. Location is central to Russian River and Sonoma Coast. Scenery is breathtaking, and people welcoming.

Good location and overall facility. A/C in room was noisy. Shower leaked water around base of doors when used. Hotel staff was nice and helpful. Parking lot fills up on weekends.

The staff was refreshingly friendly and made us feel bery welcome/celebrated on my birthday weekend. Cozy clean rooms in the redwoods. Surroundungs are beautiful and just a10 minute drive to Bodega Bay.

This is a cool little motel tucked away in the forest. Nothing fancy, but clean, and decent, and comfy bed. It even has a pool, but it really was way too cold to use it.
The morning there was magical: The morning mists washed over the hotel in waves, a flock of little CA quails burbling and peeping made their way through the parking lot, and the caws, squawks, and hoots of birds and animals rolled down from the tree tops. Plus there's a coffee shop just 250 feet away.

We upgraded to a nicer room, otherwise the place is old motel. But the staff was very nice.

An economical place to stay - walls are thin. Not a good idea on Wednesdays, as it seems the town shuts down. No places open to eat - The Market offers a deli...

We had a two room suite. The size was great, it’s basically an apartment from the early 80’s. Unfortunately it’s really run down, like holes in the walls, huge cobwebs, peeling paper etc. the furniture looks cute but is crazy uncomfortable. There’s not any paper products(like a stir stick for the coffee). It was quite and spacious.

The pool is big and nice. Beds and pillows great. Small,quiet town surrounded by trees.

I booked for two days but I had to check out next morning due to the issues below. I checked in on Thursday on but the room was facing the street with the balcony where people were walking in front of my window. I had to close the blinds . I was not able to sleep due to the smell of bleach . I checked out 8 am as soon as they opened their office. I need Hotels.com to redound me for thd 2nd day as i dud not stay. I had no phone number to call Hotel.com to cancel.

The Staff were nice and great people. The room immaculate only 7 miles from beach but only 2 restaurants we could find. But I was quoted 154 with tax and fees included and Experian charged me 185. I don't know why.

The town is so cute. It’s a shame this motel is such a missed opportunity. It has potential but shabby is an understatement. The wallpaper was peeling at almost every seam, literal cobwebs in the bathroom and in the window, crusted dirt on the nightstand. It just really gave an icky impression. Not sure where the rooms are in the photos but room 104 needs updating BAD!

The first room we were put in (109) smelled really bad so we asked to be moved. After a bit of shuffling the receptionist changed us to a similar room which was perfect for us. She was really helpful. This lodge is in a wonderful position. All the restaurants, bars and shops are within easy walking distance. Would definitely stay here again.

Breaks my heart a little but the property is in need of renovations. I hate to even leave reviews like this but I haven't stayed here in a few years and the place has really gone downhill. They are doing a decent job of keeping it clean and it was quiet and safe but it is very basic motel and needs an investor.

Everything was wonderful about our stay except for the mattress. It definitely needs to be changed. There is a big hump in the middle and then both sides just go down into a hole.

The room itself was ok, nothing fancy but everything worked, the shower head placement is for someone 4 feet tall. The surrounding grounds are unkept.

It's a motel and so one should not expect much. Being the only reasonably priced place in town it does fill up. The people in the room next to ours took the room chairs outside and proceeded to drink and talk loudly all evening outside our room which was annoying for sure. It is nicely located across from the breakfast restaurant which is excellent. Note that most of the restaurants in town only open thu/fri to sunday so mid week kinda nothing to eat in town.

Very hot in room- air conditioning didn’t work, no ice bucket, just liner. Rug stinky, dirty- I realize it was a dog room- needed flooring instead.
