Pleasant - 3.0 out of 5

Beautiful location and outdoor space,...

Liked: Beautiful location along the Eel River. There is no longer a lake as the dam was removed a while back but the surrounding area and access to redwoods further north on 101 is great. There was no fireplace in our terrace king but we didn’t need it in summer, and we liked the private balcony and the inn’s Great room upstairs. Glad to not have a TV in the room. Staff in the restaurant were friendly.
Disliked: There mix of room amenities was surprising. There were nice touches like robes, a hair dryer and Keurig coffee machine, but no hand soap for either sink. I inquired at the front desk and they said oh yes I could have some soap. They are the very inexpensive motel variety that I wouldn’t think they would mind just stocking in the rooms without guests having to ask. No moisturizing lotion or other toiletries you might typically find in a $485/night room. Also there were holes in the sheets and a damaged finish on the toilet seat. Mattress was not the best.

Historic beauty

Liked: It was such a beautiful inn situated inside Redwoods. We really enjoyed complimentary afternoon tea time on the patio over looking the river. The hotel is a historic beauty, and would recommend.
