Disappointed
We were very disappointed. When we arrived at 3:00 we had hoped to sit by a peaceful, serene lake before the sun set behind the mountain. Instead, we got an hour of loud leaf-blowing......They should have that kind of work finished before the check-in time.....The hotel is written up as an all-remodeled hotel, but in the end, it is still just an old-style highway motel. The manager was very friendly.

Left a list of things that need to be fixed in the drop box. The smell of the cleaner is so bad you can smell it outside the rooms. We were able to move from 15 to 12 which was better. The staff was great. The grounds are lovely. Lots of places to sit outside, plenty of BBQ's. The bed was really comfortable.

Revisit - Recharged
This was my second visit and it was just what I needed. Some quality, quiet 'me' time. It's nestled right near the waterfront and the room I had faced the lake and the mountain range - It's a beautiful ride to and from Sacramento a simple 2 hour drive. Well worth it hands down.

Unhappy
Room 22's bathroom has a tankless hot water heater supplying neighboring units that roared off and on much of the evening and morning. Poor planning. Two screaming toddlers were heard via thin connecting door. There was sand-like grit in the bed sheets Dirt under the beds. Sink drain extremely slow. “Mountain View” is very misleading. It's a busy highway and parking lot.

Property is on busy highway so there is road noise. It is also on a lake so great for water sports. The property offers many water sport equipment for rent - such as kayaks, paddle boards etc. It is a motel with a big parking lot in the front and a small lawn in the back with view of the lake. Not much privacy from other guests. But the staff is really great, extremely helpful and friendly. Room itself is basic and relatively clean. Bed is comfortable. We were there for a wedding nearby so did not take advantage of the lake.

We stay here every year, and saw a significant difference this year. Bath tub was great, as usual, but the fireplace did not work, and someone kept knocking on my door in the middle of the night 1AM‐3AM which made me very uneasy and I felt unsafe. Because of that, I got no rest whatsoever

Nice setting on small lake. The overpriced room was a painted over 1950 style. Good beds. Needs better furnishings. Mold in shower. Strong cleaning product smell was overpowering, No Food available near or far.

Property is nice, the rooms were not very clean but scott the host and the front desk gentleman fixed it for us. It’s new management so there were hiccups but Scott the host made sure we were taken care of. It is such a beautiful property and the lake is incredible. Would stay there 💯 again!! Such an amazing time. Recommend to everyone!!

When I checked in, it was just after the check in time and there were so many people there who had apparently bought day passes that there was nowhere for a paying guest to park. At all. It was over 100° and I had dogs in the car and I had to park out by the road. The person who checked me in was not very nice to me, although he was plenty nice to the woman that he checked on before me. The room was good as far as air conditioning and tile floors. The floors were wet and sticky feeling. The bathroom could have used a deep cleaning as well. a couple hours after I checked in there was a public safety power shut off and the staff did not offer any kind of assistance to anyone. Luckily, it came back on after an hour. And perhaps the most disappointing, there is a photo of a pool on the website. The poo looks like it has been out of commission for at least a year. It has been drained and has a couple of feet of disgusting nasty water in the bottom. The entire enclosure is rundown in a state of disrepair with multiple broken pieces of furniture. it looks awful

This property's website lists it as a lodge. The photos are real but well-edited to give an appearance that doesn't match expectations. We arrived to find a crowded property with extremely loud music playing. As we later learned, these people were just visiting for the day and paid to access the property. Once the day visitors left the crowd diminished and it felt more tranquil. The pool is closed and in disrepair. Our room was clean, but dated and dingy. The staff was very polite and helpful.

The staff here are very friendly, the lake is beautiful and the water feels cool and refreshing. We rented kayaks for a couple of hours in mid morning and enjoyed every bit of it. They have tubes to rent, a small beach area and plenty of deck space that overlooks the lake to sit and relax. The room was clean and cozy but our a/c unit was clearly on it's last leg. Upper Lake's conviences are only a 6min drive and Lakeport a little over 20min. There is a small store here next to the lodge. We didn't fish here but saw one jump completely out of the water to catch an insect while kayaking. We would definitely stay here again.
