What guests think

The Old West Inn earns praise for its charming Old West theme, welcoming family-run service, and a well-kept courtyard, with many guests appreciating the discounted breakfast vouchers at a nearby restaurant.

Rooms are generally comfortable, updated, and quiet, with in-room basics like a fridge and microwave, though some guests report firm or worn mattresses, HVAC that is hard to regulate or a bit noisy, light leakage, or occasional plumbing noise. Cleanliness is widely praised, but a minority noted strong cleaning fragrances, dust in corners, or floors needing better mopping. The location is convenient for downtown Willits, the Skunk Train, and highway access, and parking and on-site EV charging are appreciated. Expect a friendly, good-value stay with unique character.

This is a family ran establishment and they have remodeled and made the hotel a really cool, fun experience. The village is so cool that we spent a great amount of time out under lit gazebos admiring the neatness and fun experience.

Comfortable hotel. Enjoyed sitting on the swing or under the covered area. The room we had was in the shady area, so stayed cool. The employees of the hotel were very nice and seemed go out of there way for the customers. They were doing maintenance on the rooms (painting), which I think is why the hotel is in good shape. I loved that the ice machine also had a water dispenser, so we could fill up our water bottles. Loved the $5 breakfast from Lumberjacks. They had a lot of options and the servings were pretty large. Coffee was great. The only thing I would recommend for the hotel, is when they clean, check the back of the door in the bathroom. I don’t think they look at this. It needed a good wipe down.

The courtyard was a highlight. It had tables and chairs and a two-person swing. Outside of each of the "numbered" rooms were "named" rooms that coincided with the old west. This added a little freshness and creativity to hotel accommodations. We really enjoyed our stay.

After an 8 hour drive, my friend and I enjoyed playing Cornhole with the equipment set up in front of our room. They don't serve breakfast, but they provided a voucher that allowed us to have a great breakfast at a restaraunt down the street for $5.00. We enjoyed our stay and would stay there again.

Cute theme for the motel! The exterior of each room was a different “shop” in an old west town, like Blacksmith, Doctor, etc. It’s built in a U shaped arrangement with a big patio in the middle, like a town square complete with a fountain and tables. Our room looked clean and well kept, but there are two reasons I did not give it a 5. One is because the heater seemed to be all or nothing: either broiling hot air or freezing cold air - that was blowing right on us no matter how I moved the louvers. It couldn’t seem to just produce warm, comfortable air. Secondly, the perfume of their chemical cleaner was overpowering. We aired out the room for quite a while, but even after that we were both back gagging and choking on the smell by the middle of the night and had nasty headaches. We slept terrible. Cleaners do not need to be that strongly perfumed to do their job. Please find a better one. Breakfast was at a local restaurant. Interesting way to handle that. Although not big servings, the food was good. Overall, the motel was a cute place, with friendly staff, but I would not come again due to the overwhelming perfume.

The property appears to have recently been updated on the exterior. There was a cute interior courtyard that all room opened up to. The rooms were decent sized and the beds acceptable. The AC unit didn't cool adequately but it was a cooler day so it wasn't that big of a deal. The blinds did not block out the exterior light so if you are a light sleeper this could be a deal breaker. The room appeared clean but after I showered my feet were quickly filthy when walking barefoot so I suspect sweeping/mopping between guests isn't happening.

Older property that may be in various stages of remodeling. Our room did not have updated flooring as shown in some photos (we had older carpet). Overall the place could use a good deep cleaning. There was dust on many surfaces including lamps, shower enclosure, baseboards, etc. The unique bed options were a plus (1 queen + 2 twins) for our family of 4 with 2 kids. The stay was not worth the cost in my opinion but we needed a room in the area, and accommodations in that area are limited.

I needed 1 night in a comfortable, clean, convenient place on my way through the area, and this cute motel/hotel fit the bill. The design & decor were thoughtful & lighthearted with a western theme -- nice touch! The property is compact, but my room was ample. Arriving & parking earlier ensures the closest spots to your room, but none are too far; 3 spots required parallel parking. The discounted $5 breakfast at Lumberjack's was great.

What is not to like about this great little motel right off the highway in Willits, CA? From the moment we walked in, almost overwhelmed by the Indian food being prepared by the owner/family for a local cooking festival (I hope they won!), my wife and I felt like family. Clean, bright, cozy, it had everything. When we checked out my wife offered to buy the copy of Bhagavad Gita from our room but the proprietor let her take it, AND gave her a tutorial on how to read it. One of those places, "If you're ever in Willits, CA..."

The refrigerator even had a small freezer area where we were able to keep a frozen pie! The Western Town theme is SO charming!
