4/10 Fair

Not the best
Pretty average. There was a delay in check-in due to lack of cleaners but was kindly provided vouchers to see the redwood trees. The room itself was tired however bed comfortable. The bathroom was another story. No soap in dispensers to wash while showering or hand soap in dispenser to wash our hands. Called reception numerous times over the hour but no reply. Toilet bowl was badly stained and the shower rusty with no pressure. Also there was a ring around the bath tub and oil stains on the door. Theses are mostly maintenance issues not cleaners. Wouldn’t stay again for the price we paid of $415 per night. Mentioned the no soap at reception upon check out and she just laughed, but odd.

Well located and right on the lake and only a 2-3 minute walk to Eat Street. Spacious rooms, quiet spot, free parking and good facilities. Only a 10 minute drive to the geothermal fields and other attractions.
