Nice spot on the lake
My start was great! The room was clean enough (someone left Taco Bell in the fridge). The fridge was large and cold. There was a microwave as well. A table to work at and a table to eat at (chairs for both). Right on the lake was a big plus! A lot of folks hanging out in the parking lot. Don’t bother me none but it may bother others!

They start was perfect! I just needed a place to rest before I hit the road again. The covers had burn marks as did the drapes. I’m sure this is do to the tweakers hanging out and smoking. They were nice enough tho and didn’t bother me. The room was comfy in spite of the decor being older. It wasn’t like I was moving in. The pool was open and the view of the lake was right behind it. Very nice indeed!

Bad steeps to second floor
The steps to the second floor were long and very steep, the one nearest the office felt rickity and one of the steps broke while I was ther and had to be repaired. The repair was done wrong with the step that broke by setting it back and it made the step shorter and very unsafe.

The hotel was just what we needed for our stay in Clearlake! Good price to lay our heads at night after a long day of visiting family in the area! Basic rooms with microwave and fridge but clean and tidy. We will stay here again!

The beds were twins and cheap, the room was good. It was a very very windy day and the WIFI went out for hours, but the weather was abnormally bad that day so I doubt that happens much. The rooms coffe pot isnt KEURIG as we brought our own and couldn't use it. Lots of places to get things if need close. Good Location. has a fridge, tiny microwave and they will give you more coffee. Because of the COVID lie that cause them not to change the sheets daily are still in place like any other hotel as they drop staff. Weed shop accross the street, good stuff, no refunds but very close to walk and get what you want. I would go back especailly on a nice summer day. No problems with people stealing from the car, small town vibe. I would go back especailly on a nice summer day.

Dumpy Motel at the Lake
I had hotel staff member enter my room while I was sleeping notifying me that check out time was 12:00 pm. Never mind I had a two night reservation. This place is a dump. Take your business elsewhere.
