Lost Coast Inn

Inn

👍👍 The owner of this nice quaint inn more than makes up for any crowding our family of five felt in the charming room. Seeing our name on the door when we checked in late made us feel welcome. The kitchenette was a plus, but Michelin should give her an extra star for the absolutely mouth-watering Conti...

Valley Inn

Motel

🫤 This place is what I consider highway robbery. My friend rented this room for me when I came to visit her. It cost, with tax, about $180. I thought -- woohoo! -- I am staying in a nice room. I go into the room, which has two rooms, one of which is supposed to be a sitting room and the other is the b...

MINER'S CAMP, FORESTHILL

Motel

😐 Rooms were very nice but you can get a whole lot better most everywhere for what they're charging. The neighbour had a dog about 4 feet from our cabin that never stopped barking through a broken fence. It was not stellar. No street lights in downtown Foresthill. Walk your dog before night.

Columbia Inn Motel

👍👍 The building is not new, as a matter of fact it is an older building. But it was clean and smelled fresh when we stayed. We dealt directly with the owners who were very personable and nice. We originally asked for 3 rooms to accommodate the family members we were going to have staying in Columbia,...
