8.8/10 Excellent! (1,001 reviews)
Decent property, clean room, quiet neighborhood. BUT, they charge $10 parking per night, but they DO NOT tell you about it when checking in, and there is no signage about parking at the front desk; I found out the next day after check out, I saw charge on my credit car, I called front desk, and they said I had written my initials on a check-in piece of paper, I asked for a copy, and they sent an unreadable pdf to my email; I'm from out of town by the way; and what makes it more irritating, I did not even park on their premises, I parked in the shopping center next to the hotel because their "parking" was overflowing. Very upset about this hidden charge!!

A year after Whiskeytown, California was torched in the Carr Fire in July of 2018, the skeletal remains of trees still line the hills and valleys all the way to the lake’s edge. The area is hazy today as smoke from a fire in southern Oregon drifts down into Northern California.
