My wife and I found this to be a clean and reasonably comfortable room in a pleasant setting surrounded by forest. While acceptable, the facilities here are very basic and the rooms are small. The building is an aging motel that probably saw its hey-day somewhere closer to the 1960s than the 2010s. You'll got a decent night's sleep in... More

After reading consistent negative reviews from multiple sites we cancelled our reservation more than 2 weeks in advance and were hit with a complimentary $25 fee. They were kind enough to remind us that this was neatly buried in the small print of the online reservation site. Must be the only way they are making a buck. STAY AWAY!!!

I worried about Northwood lodge as some reviews were bad – and I don’t know why. It was much more than expected. All 3 rooms had working A/C, fridge/microwave, comfortable bed, spare pillows, coffeemaker. If you like good quality coffee, bring your own as you would do in any motel. The rooms have 2 doors, the front door with the... More

We paid 200 dollars for a shack which smelled of mildew and was moist inside,only one , very hard bed and 2 bunkbeds, although 2 queens were promised, we hardly slept... More

Housekeeping thoroughly cleans all of our cottages on a regular basis to ensure that mold and mildew does not grow. Our guests' health and well-being is important to us, especially during... More

Mid week paid $150 a night. Maid enters without knocking. 20 year old tv's with no extras. Room clean and linen smell good. Pool only heated by solar, 65 degrees can't use. Will not stay if I had a choice. My girl and I are in the hotel business.

We appreciate the warm greeting and excellent service from management. The location is lovely, in the redwoods, quiet and cozy. The rooms and furnishings are old fashioned but comfortable. The staff keeps the rooms very clean. The pool area is nice. We like the larger room with entrances on both sides. The rates are reasonable in comparison to other places... More

As others have commented this hotel is over priced and the only positive thing I can comment on were the flowers that are outside the room. I found it expensive for what was provided and I was not impressed by the service at reception. I would not choose to stay here again.

This is a nice little place, about 5 minutes outside of Guerneville. Very clean and very quiet rooms with flowers blooming everywhere. The only downside is it was a little overpriced but during this event, everything else is too. I would gladly stay there again.

We stayed here for two days over labor day. The nightly rate after taxes was about 174 dollars for a room with two double beds which is INSANE for what the room looked like. Obviously, there was an inflated rate for Labor Day but I just felt taken advantage of. It must have been one of the last rooms booked... More
