2 story motel w stairs to 2nd floor. Convenient location in Chester. Walking distance to some restaurants and market. We appreciated that our room was cool in temperature upon checking in probably since I told them when I would check in. We stayed in the 2 queen beds unit and they were comfy. Clean unit. It was quiet at night but I could hear people talking loudly as early as 6am walking by outside. read more

Though my prior stays at Antlers Inn were in April and then again in June 2023, my recent and 5th stay (Aug 2025) at Antlers Inn did not disappoint. I complement again the management and staff for operating a clean and most comfortable accommodations in Chester - it's an excellent value for the money spent and extremely well located in the center of town. When I fly fish Lake Almanor, I'll definitely return to Antlers Inn. read more

Can't judge a book by in's cover, I'm giving 5 stars even though the outside is unimpressive the Inn had everything I desired. Clean, comfortable beds and pillows, excellent water pressure with hot and cold, little thoughtful touches throughtout. I felt at home,welcomed and the establishment cared about my comfort. read more

We stayed there a few weeks ago. Pretty close to Lassen National Park. They allow dogs and they have free coffee in the lobby all day. This is quite the perk (for me anyway)! The beds and pillows were super comfy and inspired me to buy new bed pillows for my own bed! Everything was really clean. The towels smelled clean, not that typical bleach-smell. The place is close to shops and restaurants. Best part was "Cujo" was playing on TV and we had my little chihuahua "Kujo" watch it with us! read more

Do you know Antlers Inn does U Haul? Which has saved me major money having one local. The married couple who runs the Inn are awesome! The U Hauls are always in working order and the couple are super nice and greet you with a smile. read more

Nice Motel. Clean and comfy. I asked for a downstairs room when I made the reservation but was told only upstairs was available. I have a handicap and can not climb stairs easily. When I checked in I asked the lady if it is possible to have a room downstairs (hoping there was a cancellation or something) she was vey friendly and said no problem she will shuffle it around and they worked it out for me . Thank you read more

Clean, attractively decorated, comfortable bed, everything we need and a good location. We will definitely stay here the next time we are in Chester! read more

Antler's Inn is great for what it is: Clean, affordable, basic, and owner operated for many years by Dan. I have stayed there several times over the years to bike in the area and climb Mt. Lassen. It's a good location because the market is across the street, and "Cravings" a great coffee and breakfast place (with bookstore and gifts too) is two doors down. Thanks to Dan this past weekend for letting us check in early (even though he was very busy) so we could change cloths before heading out for a bike ride! read more

My husband was hiking the Pacific Crest Trail with the intention of stopping to camp near Chester on his way to Truckee. He is an avid hiker but with the unexpected heat, he fell ill about 10 miles from town. He was queasy, faint and was having a hard time putting thoughts together. He believed he was suffering from heat stroke. He was able to text me for help, and keep walking. I tried to book a hotel room for him as I was four hours away. I couldn't find anything. Everything was booked for summer and it was Fathers Day weekend. As a last resort I left a message on the machine at the Antler Motel. I grabbed some camping gear and started driving. I was honestly expecting we'd sleep in my truck, when the Antler called with a room! Not only that, they offered to hold the room for me, even though I had no idea when (or if) we'd arrive once I found my husband. (Luckily, a Ranger and a campground host saw his distress and drove my husband to the hotel.) Everyone he encountered was great. The hotel staff was nothing but nice, concerned and wonderful. The room provided was very spacious, clean and a cool refuge from the heat. Knowing he had a room to rest and recover while I drove put my mind at ease. I highly recommend this hotel and hope to stay here again under better circumstances. Thank you again. Meredith read more

We began our spring break this year with a lovely trip to Lassen county. Antlers Motel was the perfect home base. The room was huge with a full size coffee maker and large mini fridge. The innkeeper was very helpful and friendly sharing his knowledge of the area. Cravings right next door served awesome breakfast. The drive back and forth to the beautiful snow at the park was even pleasant! Hope to come back soon. read more

Clean, friends, helpful with local attractions. Great location for Lassen Park and Lake Almanor. Would definitely stay here again.

Place is clean up to date and peaceful. Very cute decor. The gentleman that runs the place is one of the best individuals I've had the privilege of meeting thus far in my life. If you want to be treated properly and not just be another number then I highly recommend staying here. Great rates to boot. Every time I come here I will definitely be staying at the antlers Motel. You will not be disappointed. read more

The owner is really friendly and more than happy to give tips for those visiting the area as well as recommend places to eat. The hotel itself is nicely themed and comfortable. If you're staying in Chester this is the place. read more

A great little motel. They DO provide shampoo, I wish I didn't believe Rachel's review because we unnecessarily bought our own. Although it is hotel shampoo so it is good we brought out own I've noticed Caltrans workers and people with children stay here, so if you are a partier, this isn't the motel for you. read more

The Antlers Motel is a very clean place to stay in Chester with the unfortunate downside that it is a little too easy to hear neighbors through the walls. The staff at Antlers was immediately friendly. We checked in quickly and found the room to be in great condition. Almost everything seemed very new and in great condition. Although we thought we'd be far from Lassen Park, it only took thirty minutes to get there from Chester. On the first night things seemed fairly quiet. But on the second night it became obvious that anyone talking in the next room was easy to hear through the walls, which kept waking us up. Fortunately, its just as easy for the neighbors to hear me bang on the wall. ;) All the same, if you're going to Chester, I think Antlers is the place to stay. So long as your neighbors stay quiet, you'll be comfortable here. read more

This is the cleanest motel I've been to in a while. Well... It is brand new. The old place, a dump, was razed and replaced with this two-level motel. They re-opened last February. The rooms are large and clean. There are (small) flat screen Tvs with DISH in the rooms along with double sinks to ease sharing the room with your S.O. The rooms have blinds, but could use drapes to block out more light. It's (walking distance) close to everything there is in town. Free wi-fi for those in the need on the road. It could use a pool or hot tub, but no one else in town has one either. read more

Arrived late without reservations in early October but they accommodated us during duck hunting season. Mattress covers were a distraction and bathroom could have used a table or shelving but they provided us with safe quiet shelter for the night. It was a very positive experience for two old ladies and their service dog. read more

What an adorable hotel! I arrived around 11pm so I called ahead to make sure someone was at the front desk. Not to worry! I was greeted by a super friendly & helpful guy (I am so mad at myself for forgetting his name!). I was pleasantly THRILLED at the quality of the room! It was enormous and clean, with every amenity you can think of. The bathroom was immaculate, large, and stocked. Even my morning coffee tasted better than usual. Waking up across the street from a big lake isn't too shabby either :) I can't wait to go back! read more

We spent 3 night at Antlers Motel during our visit in Lassen Volcanic NP. Place was very affordable ( half the price of Best Western next door) very clean and had everything you needed. Dan (owner) was very helpful with suggestions where to eat as well as what to do in the area. We totally recommending the place to everyone who plan to stay in the area. read more

We went to Chester for the 4th of July and had a great time as always. Then we cam to the Antler Inn. Fist off, they have a TINY tv. Smaller than your standard computer monitor.- about a 17". It would be ok if you were 2 feet away, not 10 feet. Then we took a shower. The lighting was so dim as it has only 1 small recessed light for a huge bathroom. The floors above were so thin that you would hear every move of the person above. The walls were so thin that we could actually hear the conversation of the neighbors normal conversation. The artwork was so small that our son had to stand on the bed to actually see them. They were 8" x 10" pictures for a room that is rather large. The rooms are VERY CLEAN but sleeping and showering are a challenge doe to lighting and noise. One more thing, the mattresses have a plastic cover on them like a bed wetter uses......CRAZY! You can hear every toss and turn. Our next stay will be at the Rose Quartz Inn. There is nothing wrong with cutting corners but plastic covers on the mattresses, a tv so small that you cant even see the menu from across the room, lighting so dim in the bathroom that you can't tell if you are clean, and artwork that would be proportioned to an out house. All in all, a real upsetting experience. read more

My wife and I were up at Lake Almanor in June for a friend's wedding. We had never stayed at the Antlers before, but were grateful they had a vacancy. We were there for 2 nights, and all I can say is everything about our experience was positive! The rates were very fair, the rooms big and clean, the beds comfortable. Dan was very welcoming, and the staff attended to our room very promptly and left it spic and span! I would highly recommend Dan and the Antlers to anyone looking for lodging at Lake Almanor. It's in located in the middle of Chester. And, it's right across the road from the grocery store and the coffee shop, how sweet is that? read more

Been staying in Chester for years! This is by far the best experience we have had here. The Staff is amazing and very friendly! I can't wait to come back next year and I am still here! The rooms are very clean and incredibly comfortable. Everything is kept in perfect condition. And they do provide shampoo and soap I don't know what that review was about. If you want to relax in Chester, this is your place!!!! Mary is the best! You couldn't find a more accommodating friendly manager anywhere!!! read more

The owner is friendly and goes above and beyond in customer service. The room was equal to a 3 to 4 star hotel. I will stay here again. read more

Great motel, very clean, wonderful staff! We stayed at this motel during our multi state marathon vacation, From Washington to Oregon, Idaho, Utah, Arizona, Nevada, California and back to Washington. We stayed at hotels along the way, and were pleasantly surprised by the Antlers Motel. The room was spotless, and there was a nature trail with a printed guide next door that lead to the Feather river and highlighted the various features. Grocery store and great cafe across the street, Very quiet with comfortable beds. The owner was glad to give information on the area. This place was nicer than our "suite" in Reno for sure! Definitely would stay there again. read more

Well it was a rocky start. Not terribly friendly registration clerk upon arrival. Then at 1030pm I noticed that I didn't have a packet of coffee for the in-room coffee maker. Unfriendly clerk demanded to inspect my room to verify absence of coffee packet. Really? read more

I wish I knew about the Antlers Motel earlier. Dan owns it and treats everyone so well that I would not think of staying anywhere else. Super big rooms and just all out fantastic! Thank you, Dave read more

The outside of this place is unassuming. But the rooms (we got two) were perfect. As soon as we walked in, the smell of clean - but not chemical- was apparent. The decor is just right. They don't chintz on cheap tissue and plastic cups. Rooms are spacious. Plus the front desk is friendly and happy to see you. Couldn't ask for more. PLUS, the rate was almost $20 a night cheaper than the Best Western nearby, which I bet has nothing on this place. Made me wish I was staying another night. read more

If you need to stay in chester this is the place. Clean comfortable rooms at a great price. People smoking on the balcony blows but just left the ac on. read more

Spotlessly clean, pleasant, and reasonably priced motel. Great place to stay if you're hiking in Lassen. They don't provide any shampoo or conditioner, just soap, so bring your own. read more

This is as well-managed a small motel as I think I have ever seen. The room was spatious and clean. The a/c worked perfectly and quietly. The bedding was good (including the pillows). It was quiet. The shower was plenty hot. The wireless service was unexpectedly fast. The owner did a great job directing us to a wonderful dinner. In this case the only things I can suggest are limited to the location of the bath towels (and by no means is that a criticism of the management as it is of the architect). There should be more outlets near the "desk" for running both a computer and charging more than one phones (perhaps a power strip would be in order). The coffee maker could easily be replaced by microground packets and a hot water tap, but these are niggling details. All in all, this was an outstanding value. read more

The Antlers motel was reasonably priced. However I have to say you get what you pay for. The Internet was basically unusable. As mentioned before no towel rack for a hand towel. ( I mean really?). Also and more importantly NO HAIRDRYER! This i wish I had known about. On the plus side the room was clean and comfortable. read more

On our way to Lassen, we were looking for a nice motel. Most of the places we found on the Internet via hotels.com or similar site really looked like dumps. Finally I found the website of Antlers motel and it looked nicer. Not knowing really what we would find, we were really please by how clean and nice the place was. It seems it has recently been remodeled. The owners were super nice and helpful. Probably the nicest place to stay in the area close to the entrance to Lassen. Would definitely go back. read more

Great place to stay for around $100. The owner operator is friendly and the rooms are nice, clean, and comfortable. Definitely recommend a stay there read more

Value matched price. Clean, comfortable room with nice amenities. Pleasant staff, nice local feel.

I stayed at the inn a couple of weeks ago the owners are very nice the rooms are very nice and comfortable I would stay there again I'm going back in the summer read more

Very reasonably priced for a decent bed and hot shower. It is also a plus that there is a mini fridge and WiFi at no extra cost. The large hotel chains always charge for those "extras". It is also conveniently located in the center of town near the supermarket and restaurants. This is the type of room to stay in overnight not a vacation resort. I would think most people who stay here are enjoying the outdoors of this beautiful area. Maybe that is why the TV is so small. read more

This is a great new construction all new rooms American run motel. Don't be fooled by the name and sign; this is a modern gem! Pricing was very reasonable too. Friendly American service, nice new clean rooms. Great place to spend the night near Lassen. read more

Came here with Group to Hike lassen national park, so it was very convenient location for us. We stayed for Three nights. Very nice during shoulder season. The rooms are very spacious and good sized including bathroom. The price is also very reasonable. There's a full service market across the street with very long hours so super convenient. No hairdryer in rooms but you can request for one in the room. I'd recommend a night light as I walked in the dark to get to the toilet to be respectful of my roommate. It does seem to be dark someone had mentioned because the ceiling light is not in the middle of the room but rather clos to the vanity area outside bathroom. Overall quite content and would return. read more

This motel is located right on Main street, but the rooms face away from the street, so they are quiet. The owner is extremely helpful. He gave us accurate and useful information about local restaurants. The room with two double beds, was large, and sparkling clean. Somewhat dated decor, no place to hang towels, no towel racks and only one hook. Nice mattresses on beds, however a MISERABLE nights sleep because they entirely covered the mattresses with plastic covers and used polyester sheets. Yuck. read more
