    Room smelled bad. The office was alone you check in with a machine. The place was just not good. The room didn't even have a room number.

    Ocean view and RV park

    The 3 bed option was the reasoning for choosing this inn. We had 3 generations traveling and it worked out great. The room was clean, I like the no carpet in the room. We travel with slippers so it was fine. The check in with a kiosk was different, simple and I wouldn't be surprised if we see more hotels using this method soon. The lady that checked me in was sweet and in great spirits for it being past midnight. Two small improvements would be appreciated. One, the toilet was super loose. It was rattling and moving every which way. Secondly, a couple more towels and washcloths would be nice. There is a RV park right next door, only 3 RV's were there. Technically, one and some 5th wheels. If you are looking for a Sandals type of resort style stay, this is not it. It's clean, close to the water and doesn't give trafficking vibes.

    there is a bunch of little hairs all over the sheets- everything is also excessively dusty.

    This place is pretty bad. It's not clean in here at all. we have a 3 bed room and all of the beds are dirty. the cover blanket/comforter had blood stains, cigarette burns and hairs on them. We went to the front and the lady kindly gave us new ones to replace the ones we had but the entire bed is gross. the bottom of the normal sheets are dirty, like someone had dirty feet and they didn't clean the sheets afterwards. Along with that, the pillow cases and the sheets were dusty, had hairs (some long, some short, ew.), and multiple stains of random kinds. The floors are not swept or mopped and the countertops don't look like they've been wiped down in quite some time. At the front desk, it is a kiosk that you have to check in through. In my opinion that is very unusual but we think it may be due to safety, so we can understand. to talk to the person, you have to press a button and they'll come out and talk to you behind a wall of plexiglass. The employee was kind given that i was very upset when reporting the poor conditions of our room but still an unusual situation. in the end, if you don't HAVE to stay in crescent city, i wouldn't. There are towns over that are much safer that include the gorgeous views and better hotels. After driving around here at sun down, it definitely doesn't seem safe (people riding bikes with ski masks, much homeless individuals, and all businesses being closed prior to sundown). We stayed here in a pinch after driving all day, but i definitely would NOT recommend.

    Hair in shower drain on the walls of the tub and the bathroom floor.

    The whole place was very dated. Not sure how they had an 8.1 rating on the hotel booking site…read more Bedspreads were faded and dingy, and they had brown blankets on the beds. Brown. Gross. Upholstered chairs in the room were worn and had holes. The toilets barely flushed, maybe because they were so old. The AC didn't work, and they do not have maintenance on site, so they gave us a loud box fan to put in the window for the night. They offered to move us for the second night, not the first because they were sold out. By the time the 2nd evening came, I was over it and opted to book a nicer hotel up the road. They then refused to give us even a partial refund. They left a young girl at the front desk who couldn't offer any help other than, "I'll have to call my boss." We requested that her boss call us, and that never happened either. Update & response to site management response: We clearly did need the AC, it is often muggy / humid on the coast. Leaving the window open all night with the noisy fan in it, left the room very humid and muggy in the morning. Not to mention noise from the Best Western next door, and the view of their garbage area. And having staff tell us that they can't make a decision, but have to call their boss is not supportive. Neither is not calling us when we requested a phone call to discuss further. "Not fancy" is one way to put it. Dated and dusty / dingy is another way. It's semantics.

Stayed here on a Tuesday night during the middle of a long road trip. Place was quiet and eerie. With your window open, you are only accompanied by the lapping of distant waves. That is genuinely it. I probably saw 3 guests the course of my 14 hour stay. Eerie right? The dated decor didn't help either. However, I attest that this lodge is worth the stop. All of the workers were nice, the mattresses were extremely comfy, and the views were beautiful. All components of a great stay. Truthfully maybe this place doesn't deserve five stars. But I am rooting for this establishment. I hope you all enjoy oceanfront lodge as much as I did.

It was austere, starvingly decorated, the ceiling was the same texture and color as the walls. Aggressive signage, passive aggressive laminated signage installed at the behest of a paranoid, and tasteless owner who clearly had more interest in aggressing the patrons of the hotel than anything else. Overpriced, undercared for, even the jacuzzi was an eyesore. Images attached. Avoid as much as you can help. Truly a hilariously, awful experience. The only upside to renting the most expensive room for a night, was how absolutely comedically awful the room itself was. We got a good laugh from it. The bathroom as well is the cherry on top of the shit sandwich, it too shares the same austere, low-budget pornographic character as the rest of the room. Like the kind of place you wake up after a night out in Juarez, in an ice bath to find a wound and stitches where your kidney once was.

Though the cleanliness was questionable at a glance, it did carry the overwhelming sent of bleach; so I was pretty certain I wasn't going to contract a disease. Cons: walk in the room and the place reeks of cigarettes and bleach. I can deal with the smell, since it wasn't stale smoke trapped in the fabric of the furniture, but seemingly was just the aroma from every other patron there sucking down their lung darts. However, Not supposed to smoke anywhere near the rooms, but people standing on walkway smoking, and the smoke just wafts into the open window. Just close the window you say? Well there is no heat or ac. Need to open the bathroom and front window to get even the slightest airflow. I didn't want the window open, but if I closed it I may have well camped in Death Valley in the peak of summer. This is also a super sketchy area, in my opinion. Some golem of a creature kept walking back and forth on the walkway. I say golem because every step sounded like their feet were made of solid stone; heaviest footfalls ever!! From the first step on the staircase to the last at the very end of the walkway. Im also fairly certain that the north coast inn is a haven for drug users. People yelling and arguing for at least 30 min. someone drunkenly shouting something unintelligible for a loong period of time. some dude screaming "oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh" like he was being stabbed to death, and at multiple intervals through the night (and there were even more "oh's" but for the sake of writing this I'm limiting the occurrence). some random crack head banging on someone's door wailing and crying. Then her presumed boyfriend arrives and they start peeking in car windows and jiggling car door handles. Had to run them off as I was walking my dog (yes it was that blatant). I did call the cops if you're wondering, but it's California where they coddle and never punish those doing illegal and nefarious deeds. One of them got into the cooler in my truck bed and I had to run them off again. Called the cops again... still nothing. Needless to say I didn't get any sleep. I told the front desk and the kind lady took a note, but didn't seem to attempt to call cops either. You'd think with enough callls to the police, they just might take care of the issue... nope. Also, it's right right off the highway so it's terribly noisy, even if you pretend the screaming, crying, arguing, crack head activities, attempted break ins, wasn't an issue. All in all it was a sleepless and extremely irritable night. I ended up feeling like and looking like the crack head; every noise, I was at the window, peeking out due to the prior issues leading to extreme paranoia. Every moment I finally could relax, some asshole would rev the hell out of this car and jolt me back to consciousness, or the meth addicts would cause me to wake. It's a damn shame cuz the area is beautiful. Not the town, it's a shithole, in a cute coastal town kinda way, but beautiful scenery... this could be a destination location, but poor state and city policy will keep it one of those places you only wanna pass through. I recommend spending more money and staying elsewhere, just for a little more peace of mind. If I were only rating based on the staff, it would be five stars all the way. This review is in no way a reflection of the employees. Unfortunately, the haphazard condition of the facilities, noise, and most of all safety and security concerns bing it down to a two star review. I feel terrible, cuz the staff is trying hard to make the spot as good as they can. I want to give it a much better rating, but in all honesty, I think I'm being too generous offing even two stars. I hope my experience was the exception and not the norm. With that, I'll say: Weary traveler beware.... And Godspeed.
