The buildings and parking lot of this motel looked very good. The rooms were clean and good sized. I liked that our sink vanity was separate from the toilet/shower room. The only complaint is the style inside is outdated and needs remodeling. It was a great value and very close to everything in Garberville.

Often these small private owned Motels have musty smell or cleanliness issues. This motel looked nicely kept on the outside, had plenty of parking right at room , rooms were clean spacious, and best of all smelled fresh!

I appreciated the cleanliness of the room and surrounding areas. Next door to a restaurant, very convenient. Room had a mini fridge and microwave which was great for leftovers. The bed felt like cardboard so not a very good night sleep, but all else considered, not bad.

Just traveling thru. Super hot all day and wanted to chill. AC was great but no TV cable and NO WiFi. This is unacceptable. There were three rooms occupied on the night before July 4. They cannot pay the bills. Garberville appears to be a dying town.

Quaint property that has been well kept. A little rough stains around the bed base and the ceiling, but all the touchable surfaces like the linens and carpet were clean. Good WiFi, good restaurants in the neighborhood, friendly and competent staff, good HVAC. Bathroom fixtures like toilet and showerhead were a little janky but not broken.

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!

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.

There were roaches in the bathroom. The tub had no safety mat and the fiberglass was slippery. Plus there were no safety bars. I was intimidated about taking a shower. The only thing this motel has going for it is its name on the freeway signs.

Very basic room with no amenities. The hotel is run down. Even tho the place was empty they put us in the farthest room away. Only one pillow each which makes tv watching uncomfortable. The bedding is questionable. I doubt they clean/change the comforter. And the shower curtain was really scummy on the bottom. The room did smell nice tho.

Very poor room interior arrangement. There are no accessible electric sockets except for a power box under the TV. The only work surface is a table with no illumination. The table and only chair have incompatible heights. A second person in the room has no place to sit. The bath towels are ok if you are a child. The miniature soap bar will last for 2 hand washes. The bath mat is paper. If you plug in the fridge, microwave, or brew pot, you have cords running across the only place you can put an open suitcase. No luggage rack. One hanger in the closet. No place to hang a towel except over the shower bar. We have to come once a year to a town with 2 motels and 2 places to eat. This room costs $125; the other place would be $275. This place is ok if you only need a room to sleep and shower.

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.

Received an email at 3 PM on the day of my stay stating that the credit card I used was declined and I was going to lose my room in an hour. This is the first time that a hotel has charged my card prior to me showing up. I called the hotel and had them run the card again, it went thru. When I showed up at the hotel, there was no lobby, just a sliding window. The person who checked me in didn't make eye contact, didn't smile, just wasn't friendly at all. The room had a musky smell. Bugs in the bathroom. The smoke detector was setting on top of the microwave and not on the ceiling where it should be. Appliances were unplugged and had to wait for the fridge to get cool for our drinks. Overall, it wasn't a good experience and won't stay there again.

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.
