Cedar Lodge Dunsmuir

Quaint older property. Enjoyed aviary and koi pond. Rug smelled musty

A very safe, quaint, and peaceful motel. The family who owns it is very nice and the rooms are super clean. What i really liked about it was they had swings outside and a big beautiful aviary with lots of sweet birds. There is also a coy pond inside the aviary. Great price for a nice clean place to stay.

I like the outdoor barbecue area. Nice to sit outside!

All the rooms are at ground level. Parking very conveniently located outside the room. The property is very quiet.

I really liked staying here, check in was easy and fast, loved that we were able to park right in front of our room just because we are alway forgetful of thing and it was easy going outside and grabbing our stuff. Will definitely use that this lodge again when we travel to CA.

This was a pleasant little place to stay that accommodated our two dogs perfect. The parakeets and the huge coy in the pond were great. Go to the pizza factory and walk by the river. Great place!!!

After a long drive, we arrived 2 hours early and appreciated being able to check-in, unpack and rest. The room was ready with crisp sheets and fluffy covers but not fully stocked with towels,soap etc, but the staff were very helpful. The AC and wifi worked great and I like being able to park directly outside the room, have a nearby ice machine and a fridge and microwave. The location is conveniently right off I-5 but still quiet. The lodge is well-kept and reasonably priced. There’s also a swing, hammock and an enclosed koi carp pond/aviary.

Cedar Lodge Motel got the job done, I had a place to sleep but it could use some improvements. None of the outlets would hold my computer charger, kept falling out. There is only a person at the the front counter from 11am to 4pm. One benefit, they do have an aviary with some pretty sweet birds!

Upon arrival, I noticed that it was easy to get to from the freeway and had ample parking. Location was great with plenty of trees and nice views from the property. We were able to check in a little early during a major heatwave, which was appriciated. Outside of that, we didn't have much interaction with lodge staff. The ice machine was out of order, but there was a soda vending machine available. The room is in need of updating. The "air conditioning" is a swamp cooler that didn't help much when it was 109° outside. The bed mattress was pretty uncomfortable & I didn't sleep most of the night. I liked the unique aviary & koi pond, and the outdoor picnic area was very relaxing.

We just stopped overnight on a long drive. The room was fine. Kind of nostalgic. Reminisic of the Route 66 motels. Cute pillows on the bed. Bed was a bit soft (I am a bigger guy) wife was OK with it. Had a frig, microwave and Flat screen tv. Ice machine was not working but there were ice trays with ice in the frig. Yak's Burgers was close for a meal. Yak's has a charge station behind it for an EV. The town of Shasta is not far.

The property looked interesting and had some beautiful trees scattered around. We arrived late in the night and the gentleman working the front desk was very nice and friendly. The room appeared decently comfortable and the mattress was nice. However, we were immediately hit with a strong animal(?) urine smell coming from the bathroom. There was also a sign in the room saying to not leave animals unattended (perhaps it’s in response to the animal urine?). Then, we found multiple spiders in well established webs next to the beds we cleaned before going to sleep. They clearly aren’t cleaning around the beds, floorboards, etc… The worst part, in the middle of the night, we discovered the toilet was leaking (what smelled to be) raw sewage on the bathroom floor. The floor was soaking wet under the tiles and smelled awful. The floor was so dirty a swipe of a napkin immediately rendered it black. The shower was equally dirty and disgusting. Had this not been then middle of the night, we would have left or asked for another room. We resorted to laying the towels on the floor so we could take brief showers. Then, we had to wear shoes inside the room, due to not wanting to stand in raw sewage. The condition of the bathroom was so appalling, the obvious dirtiness, and the awful smell makes me believe there is no way the management can be unaware. These problems were so obvious, they clearly don’t care. It was way overpriced for these conditions too. My room was a health hazard.

Toilet paper on the role was dirty, dead insect on bathroom counter. Staff was very friendly. Place is old, property well maintained.

Very clean and comfortable and located exactly where I needed to be. Great little motel.

My room was filthy. The most concerning were the blood stains, yellow spots, hair, and dead bugs I saw in the sheets. I called the owner and asked for replacement sheets, which also had blood stains. He told me I could leave for a refund but it was 11:30 at night. I also saw dust bunnies on the floor, saw two big black beetles during my brief stay, small moths, and flies. The place wasn't kept up well - a tile was missing from the bathroom floor and a bathroom wall was half painted. The walls are thin too - I could hear my neighbor's TV. I would never stay here again and would recommend you not either.

Clean room and very nice staff.

The description of the hotel was completely untrue. The rooms were filthy. The carpet was ripped. Ice cube trays were frozen over. This place needs a major cleanup.

Has the potential for being a cute motel. Loved the aviary. However, my room was not clean - crumbs and sticky blob in the sheets (replaced the sheet when I asked), used Kleenex on the floor, black fingerprints on the door, sticky stain on the table, etc. Also no towels.

Dirty - cobwebs in corners, garbage outside on the property

Property is dated but one of the cleanest places we have stayed. Front desk lady was super helpful. Wish the bird aviary/coi pond was accessible.

Very clean, comfortable, quiet.

These little lodges were quaint but not great. The shower in the room was not accomodating for someone my size, 6 ft 250, i could barely wash myself without hitting an elbow on a wall. The beds were small and no air conditioner. The old key lock locks behind you so bring your key out to your car. The setting is bery nice but tye walls are thin and we could hear the children next door crying and screaming. For the price, yes labor day weekend, but not worth it.

Place was so cute. Room was great. Bathroom is a bit small. Very quiet & relaxing.

This s an old motel recently renovated vey nice small rooms, good refrigerator and microwave. The only concern was the bed, not comfortable, but the cozy blanket was wonderful. Nice quite area in the trees great place to relax after a long drive.

Cedar Lodge is in a quiet, homey area that we enjoy walking. The rooms are small, but clean. The only downside is that the heater is quite loud. Other than that, it's a great place!

There was Wifi, But it was not strong enough to use and it kept cutting off. Everything was clean and warm and the beds still held up.The bright lights on the porch came through the blackout curtains and still lit up the room.

The wifi didn't work very good.

Wifi did not work inside room.

Very modest and quaint. Bathroom small, shower only. But the property had a lodge like environment.

This was an extension of a week in Mt Shasta. I tried to book something in Shasta, but everything was booked. Dunsmuir is only a 6-mile drive from the town of Shasta and I was familiar with the area. Check-in was easy. I was given a real key--hadn't seen one of those for a while—plenty of parking. It was an older motel, but the room was fine. It was clean with basics. The bed was comfortable. The air conditioner worked fine. This is a "mom and pop" owned place. When I had trouble with the Wi-Fi login, I called--it was kind of late. The owner was very nice. I could get on but Wifi was very slow and kept cutting out. I never turned on the TV so can't comment on that. It was fine for a one-night stay. Dunsmuir has its attractions--there is a waterfall within walking distance. This place is also very close to the freeway--but was surprisingly quiet.

This is an older place that shows pride of ownership. The room was clean, with decent amenities, soft towels, good bed, and so on. The room is small but it was just me so it was no problem. Dunsmuir, at least that strip where this motel is, is right next to a hill on the freeway so it has lots of freeway noise. I was fine with it but it’s worth knowing about. The room next to mine was empty but I suspect that the walls might need thin, as they were in older motels.

I was caught on the freeway with 4 separate incidents and construction that caused my normal 10 hour drive to be almost 18 hours. They kept the office open until I arrived. I really like the quiet and beauty of the area. They were very kind.

The front desk lady was so friendly and respectful

Check in lady was very friendly and knowledgeable on local attractions.

The front desk worker was incredibly nice and very knowledgeable of the area! She ensured we had everything we needed! Our room was very clean, and quiet! We parked right outside of our room. The price was great and we will definitely be back during our trips passing through.

The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful, and the room was small but comfortable. I appreciated the call I received from the front desk asking me to notify them when we were an hour away so that they could turn on the heat before we arrived. Very thoughtful!

Everything was so nice. Friendly and welcoming when I checked in.

The manager of the property was really nice and respectful woman

Owner was so nice and drew out a map for our excursions in the area. Room was spacious and bed was comfortable. Quiet and pleasant property. Very convenient location for us

staff was very friendly

Good value, and nice location.

The property was clean although a little worn around the edges. It was surprisingly quiet given the proximity to interstate 5. Convenient to City Park, Hedge Creek waterfall, and historic Dunsmuir. Good value.

Staff was incredibly kind, funny and informative about surrounding areas and things to do, and places to eat. Would recommend to other people and would come back. Has a nice cabin vibe to it rather than a motel feeling. Very homey. Great location. Close to a good burger place and botanical gardens. Easy walk to hedge creek falls.

Close to the waterfalls, and right beside the freeway. Good for overnightstay.

They like 2 minutes away from a beautiful water fall the a little inconvenience was that it takes a minute to warm up the room other than that everything was comfortable

A decent inexpensive motel, all as expected. No breakfast, but a coffeemaker, a microwave, and a mini-fridge in the room. The best part is location - close to Mt. Shasta area.

This motel is amazing. The room is super quiet and comfortable. The managers and staff are very friendly and helpful. The location is beautiful and there are so many fabulous places to go and do things particularly if you're a nature person.

The Cedar Lodge very close to the waterfall which is plus its 2 minutes from the freeway and 24hour restaurant!

Driving up to Portland from Southern California, it's the perfect stopping point for the day, and I always choose to stay here when I drive to visit family.

We were moving up from San Diego to Portland and decided to break up the drive over a series of days to minimize the stress on ourselves and our cat. The Cedar Lake Lodge was a great spot to rest for the night. We arrived around 5pm and quickly checked in. I fell in love with the serenity of my surroundings and the overall ambience reminded me of the hotels/motels of my childhood. The fact that they still have actual keys for their doors instead of key cards was enough to get me excited. The room was extremely clean and despite there being two beds, it was spacious enough for three grown people to move around with ease. The staff was helpful when it came to finding a local restaurant to eat at (Penny's Diner is open 24 hours and their staff was awesome!)! Highly recommend this place if you are wanting peace and quiet and a trip down memory lane!

The room was great. Bed comfortable. No coffee. Attitude vague. Liked the trees.

Very nice owners and the room was really great. It's an old lodge in the woods so don't expect a 5 star downtown NYC hotel, but the coffee, toiletries and bed sheets were all high quality. Like I said great nice owners too, and there's a 24/7 diner across the street. Would highly recommend!

Very friendly and efficient staff. Easy and convenient. Older motel (not fancy) but very well kept and clean. Definitely worth a stop on the drive to Oregon. Walked to delicious burgers at Yaks and to scenic Hedge Falls.

It was comfortable, clean, and quiet. I appreciated being able to park so close to the door. It would have been nice to have breakfast included

We enjoyed our stay here! The room was spacious and comfortable and had covered parking. The hotel is very unique... lots of redwood paneling and throughout the hotel. Good dining options were nearby and close to town. Easy access to the National/State parks.
