Motel Garberville

The room was clean and staff friendly. The site is clean, but basic. There was no breakfast, but coffee maker in the room. It is a good site for one night.

I was very pleasantly surprised by these accommodations. I booked it last minute and the town was pretty much sold out. It was much better than expected. The rooms are clean and updated. The staff was also very nice. I love that I could park right outside my room and it’s convenient to walk to bars and restaurants close by. I would definitely stay here again.

Very clean and comfortable

This is a motel in Garberville, so ... The big disappointment was no hot water. One of those times where you're sitting by the tub with handle, which has long ago lost its red and blue temperature designations, have it fully cranked one way. Wait thirty seconds that feels like five minutes. Crank it all the way the other way. Wait thirty seconds that now feels like seven minutes. While you're doing that wondering whether it is worth it to go to the management and change rooms. After ten minutes futzing with the water I gave up and decide it wasn't worth it to shower that day. What was worth it was to watch the older blonde lady outside, another renter, have her two husky dogs charge out of her room when two other dogs (on a leash) came by being walked by a local. The lady, in a kind of robe thing walked over to get her dogs, telling her 'girls' to come back. They didn't. And then the lady, to the astonishment of the dog-walker, turned around and went back to her room. Then she proceeded to cuss amazingly at someone I could not see. Then her two dogs ran off into Garberville proper. Then the lady came out with keys in one hand and a Mac laptop in the other, got into her car and started slowly driving out into Garberville. For the rest of the day I saw either her or her dogs driving/wandering around Garberville.

I go to Shelter Cove regularly and usually stay here. This time I had business in Garberville. It's a nice clean no frills place. It's in town right near shopping and restaurants. This time I decided to take the Bus, instead of driving. The stop is almost at the front door. No surprises. Nice comfortable stay.
