    Nice room, friendly host, close to Lava Beds National Park, but no WiFi would have been better that non functional WiFi.

    Wagon Wheel Motel

    Wagon Wheel Motel

    "Are you sure about this?" I asked my husband as we pulled up at the Wagon Wheel. In looking at…read morereviews on other web sites, this one popped up with four and five star ratings, even if one of them started off "Don't be afraid to stay here." We would have driven on by without that encouragement and that would have been our loss. Because Wagon Wheel is a good place for an overnight stay. In the context of other available lodging in Alturas we are fans for sure. GOOD LOCATION: The setting is quiet, convenient to the downtown area (such as it is for Alturas). LOW RATES: The rates are low (we paid $50). COMFORTABLE AND CLEAN ROOMS: Big rooms. The best part is everything is absolutely, spotlessly, sparkling clean. Beds were comfy enough. Decor was of down-home-cozy and all nice and fresh for bedding and carpeting that seemed new. Refrigerator, microwave and coffee pot in the room as well as good TV reception. HOMESPUN CHECK IN PROCESS & FRIENDLY OWNERS: When you make a reservation you are told to pick up the keys at the Wagon Wheel Cafe adjacent to the Motel. The folks on the phone and when we fetched the key were the epitome of frliendliness. CAFE ASSOCIATED: We ate at the cafe for a good breakfast (see separate review) at the next morning. Homemade biscuits, good eggs, friendly service by the owner herself and homemade pie too. We recommend it. ACCESSIBILITY LIMITS: We are increasingly aware of accessibility these days as I have MS. While some web sites tagged this as wheelchair accessible it is not. That would be important for a visitor who used a wheelchair to know in advance. Here are the accessibility barriers that make this non ADA compliant: 1) : there is about a 4" step up to the room (although there is apparently a portable ramp available at the restaurant to take to the room if needed), 2) there are no grab bars or transfer space at the toilet, 3) the sink would not be roll up accessible, and 4) ) the shower is not accessible - no bench and no adjustable shower head. However, there is a good amount of clear floor space in the bathroom and door opening to the bathroom is ample. There is a grab bar in the shower over tub. People with mobility limits who are still able to stand would find this useful. But our friends who rely on wheelchairs full time would not find this met their needs. It is not ADA compliant.. Just a heads up if that also describes your situation. BOTTOM LINE: Next time we stay in Alturas, Wagon Wheel will be our first choice for lodging.

    We hit some intense snow on our drive and needed a last minute place to rest and reset on our road…read moretrip. We called in around 9pm or so and Tricia welcomed us in by starting the heater for us and turning the lights on so we had a warm place to go to at arrival. Tricia also prepped us for the older rooms and so there weren't any surprises when we walked in. She was super kind and made this place feel restful after such a long day. The motel itself is older and definitely has that grandmas house feel but I'm so glad we had a place to sleep, shower and research a new route for our trip. Thank you Bieber Motel for taking us in!

    Coming home from eastern OR and viewing the eclipse, many places on our route were sold out…read more Jessica, the manager, was very nice, especially since we were arriving after 11pm. Pros: Room was clean, beds adequate, and all a good deal. Mini-fridge and small bathroom with a shower. Older but workable especially since we were late. Quiet enough, no AC and windows that open which I like. Field on the back side so no cars there. Cons: lots of mosquitos! It's August, pond nearby is a breeding ground. We spent 30 minutes killing them. And so had guests before us as the walls had smashed ones on them. We had a somewhat good laugh about it and a good nights sleep but better cleaning and window screens are called for. It's a small, inexpensive, probably family owned hotel and the only one in town. I don't expect more than simple and clean.

    Such an awesome and friendly place. The staff here is beyond friendly. Felt like being at home the…read moreway we were greeted. The room is huge and very very clean. This hotel is located in a beautiful place in the mountains. Would recommend this place to any traveler.

    My man and I stayed here for one night. It wasn't that bad! At least the room was clean!…read more The bed was comfortable enough and there was AC. The shower was cramped, but it worked well. The toilet sometimes didn't flush, but it did after waiting a few minutes. There's a fridge that kept our food and water cold. There's also a microwave but we didn't use it. There's cable so it was nice to wind down and relax with a movie. On our way out to dinner, there was a guy sitting under a tree by our room, which was unnerving. How long was he there? I'm glad he wasn't there anymore when we came back. This motel is in a town with a population of 648. There's a museum across the street that was fun to visit. For breakfast, the hostess at the motel recommended the golf club. We went to a cool coffee shop to get iced coffee to go. For dinner, there's a pizza place and a restaurant in a hotel not too far from the motel. This town doesn't have a lot going on. As a matter of fact, there are a lot of buildings/businesses closed. My man and I were predicting that this place might be a ghost town in a couple of years. However, we drove here from Mt Shasta and Castle Crags, then visited Burney Falls, and Lassen Volcanic National Park!

    We stayed at Gordon's for three nights while visiting Lassen Volcanic National Park…read more The cabin was exactly what we needed after exploring the National park. We stayed in Cabin 4. It was outfitted with a Queen size bed, dining table, charcoal grill, oven and stove, refrigerator and some basic cooking utensils. There is also a small bathroom with a shower. The bed was comfortable and the entire cabin was clean. The shower was small, but the hot water was fantastic. This location is a short drive to several great locations including Lassen Volcanic National Park (15 minutes), Burney Falls State Park (30 minutes), and Subway Cave (5 minutes). There is a small store on the premises. We did not find it as well stocked as we had hoped. But there is Old Station Fill Up right up the road that has more variety. Or if you're looking to grocery shop, you can drive into Burney (30 minutes). We enjoyed that there wasn't any service on the property. It was nice to unplug. Old Station Fill Up does have good service if you need to use it. My husband enjoyed fishing in the pond on the property and even caught a rainbow trout.

    We stayed in cabin 7. The cabin itself is very outdated. There are a lot of cracks and openings…read morethroughout all the cabin windows and doors (they don't seal properly), which let a lot of bugs inside. The whole time we were there we were constantly having to get rid of giant black ants and other bugs. Also, none of the doors inside the cabin closed, not even the bathroom door. You could see inside the bathroom from the outside. The main door to get inside is easily opened without a key, which is not good at all. Also, the WiFi did not work during our time there. Not even in the areas we were told it would. Besides that, the area itself is nice. We enjoyed playing cornhole and badminton.

    Essex Motel - Disgusting, dirty and gross!  $49/night for a reason.  I'd give Skid Row a higher rating!

This whole area looks like it has not been updated the last 40 years..... It's like stepping back to the 70s. My sister and I decided to look around, it's Sunday so looks like no one works on Sundays and most are at church. Anyway we called to find out rates and they are reasonable, we stopped went in to the office and asked to see the rooms first ( my sister is picky). Anyway as we walked to look at the room I was talking to the owner's son about what brought them out here and he explained that they wanted to start their own business and purchased this place 2 months ago so they have been working hard to fix it up. The rooms look good, beds are comfy, bedding clean and the rooms smelled clean. They are still working on making it better.... Had to call the front desk a couple times to check the toilet ( wasn't flushing well) and the TV ( couldn't figure the cable box) but the young son came over right away and took care of it and was very apologetic. They are priced reasonable and the rooms are nice, give them a chance. I hope they do well here.

    Those five-star reviews are LIES!!! That's got to be the WORST room I have ever seen in my life!…read more Notice the one photo they submitted, which hardly showed the hotel at all! I would've submitted pics of the room, but it was so damn dark it would be worthless. The room had one low-watt bulb on the ceiling. There was a tiny lamp on a side table next to the bed which consumed the entire room! The room was so small that you had to turn sideways to get to the restroom. So NOT ADA compliant!! I didn't go 2 steps past the door, which by the way was at the side of the bed! So, don't ask me about the bathroom. There was a counter on the other side of the bed which held the small microwave, refrigerator and something else because there was absolutely NO SPACE for them to go anywhere else! The only tiny window was above the small, old swamp cooler in the window, and inaccessible. The floor!!.... GROSS BEYOND MEASURE!! So thankful I left my dog in the van while I looked at the room. I felt I needed to disinfect my shoes after walking just 2 feet in through the door. The room costs $49/night. I guess if you're used to staying on Skid Row, living in a crack house, living on the streets or accustomed to staying at some "pay by the hour" hotel, then this is your place. I already paid for two nights, and somehow felt guilty that I wouldn't stay there. Weird, I know! So I ate the $49 + tax but ensured I got my refund for the second night. If that manager had any integrity whatsoever, he wouldn't have charged me at all. I think I may have to report that place to the Board of Health! STAY AWAY!! Lesson of the day... If it looks suspect, do NOT PAY until you see the room first!
