Lake Shasta Lodge

What guests think

At Lake Shasta Lodge, travelers describe a vintage, budget-friendly motor lodge with friendly staff, easy access to I-5, and a rustic vibe, alongside recurring noise from the highway and trains and aging rooms needing maintenance and updates.

Cleanliness is mixed: many find rooms tidy, while others report stained linens, dust, bugs, and worn bathrooms with slow drains or wobbly toilets. Some rooms include simple kitchenettes and effective A/C or heating, though a few guests experienced equipment issues. Expect an old-school roadside stop that trades modern polish for low prices and convenience.

Checkin very easy w nice staff. Quaint little older motor lodge that appears to be under some rennovation. Our room was very clean, but bathroom still in need of paint and new floor and baseboard. Comfy bed and good parking. Near highway so easy access.

We had a great time during our 7 day stay while we boated Lake Shasta! The owners and manager of the lodge were very attentive and helpful. The boat parking area was safe and secure. The rooms could use some updating and the area behind our side of the hotel could use some tidying, but none of those things kept us from having a great time and enjoying our stay!

Pet friendly -definitley a plus, very close to the freeway -good in a sense but also very noisy when trucks pass on the freeway. The heater did not work and it was around freezing temperature outside; since the 'front desk' is closed and you only drop off the key in the am when checking out, I could not even let them know. The place was clean but could definitly use a makeover, it seems run down. It is also right next to an adult "club" which did not make me feel great having the room closeset to the street and having to park my car outside the property.

Great location- sandwiched between Mt Shasta and Shasta Lake. It is right off the interstate- and easy to find- but it’s not quiet- ear plugs were helpful. The room had air conditioning- which was fabulous after 90 degree days, mini fridge, microwave (hard to find in rooms) and a working coffee machine. The accommodations- while a little dated, were clean and tidy. Parking was very convenient and close to the room. They had a little front porch. Staff was very friendly and let us check in a few hours early (thank you!). We were able to take a little morning walk around. There is a diner down the street from the lodge.

A place can be cool vintage, but should still be clean. Window sills and blinds were filthy. The entire toilet was very loose & rocking much, and shower head was loose and couldn’t be turned away from the door, so there was water showering all over the floor. Great price, close to I-5 access & very kind & helpful mgr & reception check in but wouldn’t stay here again or recommend.

I was in room #2 so I could hear the noise from Highway 5 but this might not be a problem for the rooms deeper into the problem.

The photos didn't match up with how the room appeared in person. The trim around the bathroom floor and the shower door was dirty and stained. We stayed for one night so it wasn't a deal breaker. The walls are thin so you can hear neighbors going in/out. You can also hear cars on the highway, but it's not enough to hinder sleep. The staff checking us in were friendly.

The photos led me to believe I would be in nature but instead it was right off the interstate with transports going all night but for the wee hours except when they pulled up for the night or left at 5am. I had the ac going full blast to drown out the noise of the traffic so that I could sleep. It may not be an issue for other travelers but it was for me. Otherwise the property and owners were great

We needed a place close to the Shasta Caverns, and this seemed convenient. On the positive side, the assistant manager who checked us in was very nice and helpful. When I walked into the room, it was like going back in time sixty years, which was not a bad thing; it was kind of nostalgic, actually. The room was also very clean. It is, though, bare-bones, with no extra frills, which is fine for just an overnight stay. Interstate 5 is very close, so you’ll hear traffic, especially trucks, all night long, but I always travel with earplugs. A suggestion I would make is maybe put a tableside lamp on the other side of the bed as well. And maybe a luggage rack to put your suitcase on inside the closet. Also, the mattress was very, very firm, so maybe bed toppers would help? Other than those few things, our experience was pleasant, and I would recommend it.

For the price, I felt like it was fine and I’d stay there again.

Avoid this place at all costs. The hosts/lodge owners are incredibly inhospitable and unwilling to help. Our stay turned into a nightmare when we discovered our room had no heater in the middle of a freezing night with sub-zero temperatures outside. Despite the presence of other vacant rooms, no alternatives were offered. They begrudgingly gave us a small portable heater for a spacious room, which didn't even work. When we requested an additional heater, their only solution was to check out. STRONGLY ADVISE AGAINST VISITING THIS PLACE!
