Adorable motel with super friendly staff
Very charming spot in an equally charming little town. Don't plan on sleeping in if you're on the first floor- housekeeping starts around 7 AM and it's impossible not to be woken up by it.

Great find!
Very friendly and helpful staff. The walls are relatively thin so you can definitely hear what’s going on in the next room, but it wasn’t a problem for us. The pool area is quite lovely sunny clean and relaxing. You can’t beat the location either.

Very pleasant place to stay
This is a very nice hotel in the peaceful little town of Occidental.
It is spacious, clean, with the usual amenities like microwave, fridge etc. Our room was newly renovated. It had a large table with two chairs overlooking the grounds, pool and the surrounding area of big trees, through a large window.
The bed was very comfortable and the room was pleasant.
The town is small but it has some shops and eateries all within walking distance.
I would recommend this place.

Room was nice and clean. Beautiful area. Conveniently located walking distance from restaurants, shops, etc.
Only issue we had was very noisy neighbors with kids screaming and door slamming in the morning, starting at 6:30 am!

The staff was so friendly and gave us an upgrade before we arrived! The bed was comfortable, the room was clean and the location was great. The cafe across the street was also excellent. Would definitely stay here again.

Occidental trip
Front desk clerk was wonderful, he was friendly and helpful. He recommended places to eat. Keep in mind most are closed during the week. We got coffee and breakfast at Bohemian Market, had lunch at Howard Station Cafe. We had a pizza and salad at Union Hotel. We wanted to try Negris and Hazel but both were too busy on a Sunday.
Beds were soft and comfortable. The pool was too cold to use but it was a nice place to sit.
If you’re adventurous I’d recommend the zipline course two miles away.

The Lodge itself was very nice, clean, comfortable and centrally located in town. My wife and i stayed from Sunday for 4 nights on our first night all restaurants and the only bar in town were open and that was the last time we could use the bar as it was closed until Friday. The towns restaurants weren't much better with only one open each evening with none open on Tuesday evening. I would recommend you look at the town web site for days and times eateries are open. Occedental-ca.org to help fine places to eat.

Just stay here, easy and low key. Family Friendly
My family has been frequenting the lodge for the last 5 years, slowltly the upgrades have been coming but always the ease and price has been great. The PM manager/GM has always been a pleasure he has seen my family grow and always remwmbers us with a smile. Be kind we are lucky to have places like this.
