This is the filthiest, most disgusting hotel we have ever experienced. This environment is sickening, literally!!! The furniture is rundown and absolutely filthy. The room itself is disgustingly filthy everywhere, there are silverfish crawling up out of the shower drain, bugs all over the room & we seriously believe the sheets on our bed were not changed for our stay! They were wrinkled, not fitted like they should be, and smelled bad. We wanted to check out but had travelled too far already & seriously needed rest. We are elderly and have never experienced anything this bad…we are avid frequent travelers so we know!!! The sign in the bathroom, telling us how unwelcome we are is really off putting, it gives charges for everything, including stains on towels and linens. Our towels and linens were stained before we ever touched them! My husband went down to the front desk and informed them, they said they’d make note. As filthy as this place is, we WOULDN’T EVEN CONSIDER EATING IN THEIR RESTAURANT!! So sad, we stayed here six years ago and it was a fabulous experience. Obviously, it has been sold since then. Get this, the curtains in our room fell off the wall when we tried to close them! We had to request Kleenex, there was none in the room when we arrived. When we stayed six years ago, it was clean and lovely, and the restaurant offered a fine selection of good food. That is not the case now. I strongly suggest you find someplace else to stay, I DEEPLY REGRET-not having read the reviews before I booked. I assumed we would be staying in the same wonderful environment we experienced six years ago. This is not even close to an acceptable accommodation when on the road., DOG FRIENDLY OR NOT, WE’D RATHER SLEEP IN OUR CAR THAN EVER EXPERIENCE ANYTHING LIKE THIS AGAIN! They will never see us put ourselves through this disgusting terror again. The ONLY thing good about it is the view & you can go for a walk without staying here & see the same. YOU WILL BE SO SORRY IF YOU BOOK THIS PLACE….WARNING!!! Disgusting beyond belief!!!!😝😝😝😜😜😜😜😜😜😜🤢🤢🤢🤢😝😝😝😝😝😖😖😖😖😖

We paid $547.00 for a 2 night stay in a room with an ocean view. The ocean view was mainly a large parking lot next door. We could see a corner of the balcony next door. We did not have a balcony. The room could have been cleaner. Bathroom tile was damaged in many places. The tub could have been a lot cleaner. There was missing piece in the laminate flooring causing a tripping hazard. Hall floors were dirty and not cleaned on a regular basis. I tried to add photos, but server was rejected.

This was our first time in Crescent CIty, California. We knew that this would be the perfect spot to serve as our homebase for our little trip. The Hotel is quiet and with an amazing view. There is a lighthouse within walking distance. And plenty of beach combing. All rooms face the ocean with a balcony. The elevator is small but plenty of room for a person with scooter or wheelchair and another person. When travelling, I envision my Grandma is with me and assess with ADA specifics. Downstairs there is a small restaurant with pretty good clam chowder.

Check in was easy and the desk clerk was very nice. The lodge is a bit run down and dated. The hallway is a bit loud. You can hear folks coming and going and slamming their doors. We are 5 rooms from the elevator and you can tell when it is being used all night long. we were waken at 0630 with 2 large barking dogs in the room next to ours. They barked on and off till about 0830. The view is nice out our window. I was unsure of the chairs on the deck to hold up a person so sit in them carefully. It's an okay place to stay if you are on you way through but I wouldn't make an experience out of it.

Booked a King Ocean view room. On arriving, the allocated room STANK of cigarettes, was utterly filthy and had a great view... of the car park. Clearly a scam as the receptionist knew exactly why we appeared back at reception so quickly, and quel surpris there were no other King rooms available (despite it being out of season and midweek). They offered another room which was more expensive and blamed us for not getting what we booked as we had gone through a booking website. Said room was highly perfumed (presumably to hide the cigarette smells and general bad smell of the whole building). This room was filthy, shabby, broken phone, more holes in the bug screen than Swiss cheese, leaking aircon unit and broken phone. It was so unsanitary I didn't want to breathe in that room, let alone sleep in there. When we got back to reception, it was manned by two kids (no disrespect to kids, but they are being exploited by the management by being left to handle complaints they just don't know what to do with). Vile, dirty, shabby, smelly place and they are clearly scamming. They know Crescent City is the end of the line, so when you arrive you are tired and less inclined to want to start looking for alternatives. Not us, we left and pushed on to Jacksonville. They refused a refund, of course, so they can expect legal action. The place should be condemned.

Anaheim, California1 contribution
We were there in August of 2023, on the first day of the county wide power blackout because of fires dozens of miles away. So I get that not everything was the owners fault. But the rest!!!! The "Balcony" was nothing but rotted wood with missing paint and tons of spider webs all over it. The plexi glass front was covered in splashed paint, dirt, filth, and grime. The screen door was rusted open and filthy. Nobody could have been out there in years for it to be in that bad of a condition. And we paid over $400.00 for this "suite!" We checked in and found one partial roll of toilet paper - no extra anywhere, and no Kleenex anywhere. Because of the power out we could not use the jacuzzi tub, the restaurant was closed, and there were no emergency lights in the very dark and dangerously unsafe hallways. I requested what I think was a very fair partial refund - everything considered. We got nothing! So beware! They're in it for the bucks knowing most guests will not be around long enough to follow thru with any complaints. I will never go there again, and I'm telling all my friends and business acquaintances to avoid this dump like the plague! YOU'VE BEEN WARNED !!!

My sister and I make a yearly trip to the coast and usually stay at Ocean front lodge. We booked our room well in advance, and arrived to find the hotel was out of power. They had been out of power due to the fire, for two or three days. They never thought to give us a call until we made the trip for nothing! I feel that common courtesy for repeat customers who would have warranted a call! The Oceanfront Lodge rates a 3 for the room and a 10 for the view from balcony rooms!

Great hotel, right on a rocky beach great for exploring tidepools and in easy walking distance of the nearby lighthouse. The rooms were clean and nicely sized for the price - it was a great value! The five stars is for the hotel only. The attached restaurant had great views of the ocean but was overpriced and uninspired.

This place has potential. It is right on the ocean with a post card view. They were in the process of painting the exterior so it was looking fresh. That is where the good ends. When we arrived the elevator was broken and we carried our bags up 21 steps. They put us in a handicapped room that we did not request. The beds were lower than average. The light switches and towel racks were low. No screen on the window. Floors had gaps in them. I would say don’t bother with the restaurant unless all you want is their “homemade clam chowder”. It was very good but the rest of the food clearly came out of a food service truck. The service was horrible. The server popped up to are table and thrust a handful of silverware in our face and announced “silverware” which half of which turned out to be dirty. When the overpriced food arrived he did the same announcing the plate. I would not have left a tip but my husband is nicer than I am. I would stay there again for the view alone but eat somewhere else.

The price is ridiculous due to the condition of the facility. A little paint and safe flooring would go a long way. There were massive gaps in the "wood" flooring in our room. Bordering on unsafe for bare feet. The exterior looks rundown and is in need of what I would consider inexpensive repairs.
