Party of 3 for 1 night on a road trip. Arrived around 8:30 pm. Greeted nice and friendly. Reserved room #7 which is at the end. Loved that. Room was super quiet. Beds are ok but better than a lot of budget hotels. Of course the room is dated and can use upgrades but it does the job. Air conditioning works great. Room is clean. Property is cute and would be nice for a longer stay as well. Not much to each right on this area so make sure you have snacks and drinks is my only suggestion. I would definitely stay here again. read more

The hotel does deceptive advertising and probably also gets someone to write positive reviews for it. The pictures display in the ad shows a nice room that feels like 3-star but when you go there you will see that the place is barely even 1 star. The decor is old and dingy and furniture is scratched like bought from a flea market. I booked a 2 day stay but left on the night I checked in itself. When I complained to the manager they told me that room #2 is old and dinghy but the pictures are from room#1 but if you look at several of the reviews even that one is bad. Ensure that you look at all the negative review and all will confirm my experience read more

This is a cute, old school motor lodge, the kind of place that so many road tripping Americans stayed at through the mid-20th Century. The manager hands you a real key, and you drive right up to your room. My wife, dog and I stayed here on our way up to southern Oregon, and found the place cute, cozy, clean and comfortable. Is it sleek and generic and totally forgettable like the average Days Inn? No, and that's the reason to stay here! It"s fun, and a little rustic, and that's the fun of it! As a bonus, the Klondike Klub, the oldest bar in the area, is next door, and itsa fun place. read more

We just needed a place a stay for one night. Lake Shasta Lodge was the only place with vacancy. Checking in was a breeze. Very friendly front desk person. The room was spacious. I don't know about the bedding was last changed but luckily we have our own blankets. Bathroom was clean with one roll of toilet paper. Ac unit was noisy so we didn't leave it on. Having a microwave and fridge was a plus. Nice little lanai outside to chill on. Overall it was a pleasant stay. read more

Cute little place close to lake Shasta and McCloud falls. They are also dog friendly which is so helpful, they even have a grass area with a picnic table and BBQ grill. There's not much food places around so bring food to grill. We will definitely return. read more

This place saved our lives! I am a truck driver traveling from Southern California. After our truck broke down we decided to stay here for a few nights. Let me tell you about Shah, the general manager. He went above and beyond for us. Let me remind you that we are complete strangers. He was very patient with our company and even drove us to the local grocery store to buy groceries. Thank you shah, this place is very lucky to have a person like you representing the business. I will definitely stop by next time I'm in the area because of shah. read more

Super-cute lodge from a bygone era. It's always nice to take a peaceful step back in time. The room was clean, quiet, and had all the amenities - reserved parking space, TV, wifi, kitchenette. I loved the small porch area out front. I was able to enjoy the fresh morning air while I worked. Of note, they reached out to us by phone to make sure we were OK and accommodated our very late check-in with no problem at all. I cannot believe what a great value this was. We will definitely be visiting again. read more

This place is absolutely filthy. Mold in the shower, something gross on the bathroom cabinet, all of the blinds are gross, the wall behind the sink and stove has not been cleaned in a while, smells like pets, tv didn't work, WiFi didn't work, smells so bad like toxic cleaners, and had people banging around coming and going till 2am I slept on my own blankets as it was to late to complain and go someplace else... don't waste your time. read more

loved staying here, right next to the lake and ed from the office was super nice and accommodating. we will definitely be back soon and i highly recommend this place if you enjoy being in the woods/ cabin! read more

Totally loved this place. I love old motels and this one is convenient of I-5 for a stopover driving from Seattle to the Bay area. It is vintage in feel but lovingly refurbished with new floors and paint. The owner keeps it super-clean, which i appreciate as i am allergic to mold and dust, he steam cleans the floors between customers! The room has all the mod-cons as well as windows that open and that look out onto a woodland setting where you can walk your dog! There is a picnic area with chairs and bbq and a common room with a pool table. We will return here every time we do this drive and are considering a writing/birding retreat here in the spring. The roads around the tiny town are perfect for walks and the lake and river nearby are dog friendly and not crowded. The price is half what the moldy and boring big chains charge! Quite a find for us. read more

We loved our overnight stay here! Cute rustic lodge. Owners are super friendly. Sheets and towels are crisp and clean. Love the little patio and tables set up outside of the room. It's nice to sit outside in the evening. read more

Love love love this place. We had such a great time spending my birthday night here. The rooms were clean and the bed was super cozy! My husband and are extremely grateful to Shah the owner. I will definitely stay again and recommend Lake Shasta Lodge to anyone wanting a quiet cozy place to stay. read more

Fishermen and outdoor enthusiasts, if you are looking for a place to stay near Lake Shasta, I would recommend the Lakehead Lodge. This is not a trip to Aria or the St Francis. Its a small, 1950's style motel just off I-5 just above Shasta Lake - if you are looking for deluxe resort style living, Kale Smoothies and organic fennel, this is not the place for you. Great location for fly fishermen on the Upper Sacramento. Affordable. My room was clean. The sheets and towels were new. The internet worked well. I pulled off the river and grabbed dinner, then decided to try the Lodge- I got there at 10 PM The owner Jim lives onsite and was happy to have another guest and showed me to my room. Other 2 reviews on here don't seem to be accurate. read more

I would give this place a negative 10 stars if I could. This place is a absolute joke. Stayed one night paid $95 to be charged another $22 for a towel that I used to clean up soda because there was no paper towels in the room. And then also said the 22$ was for the 2 dishes I didn't wash. When you call to ask about it they want to scream at you and tell you they had to throw the 3 towels away ( I like to know about this 3rd towel when there was only 2 towels in the room) and one towel was still hanging up. The manager was rude and need to learn customer service. They straight said we rather of u not cleaned it up and ruined the floor (what so they could charge u for that). Ridiculous and disrespectful place!!! read more

I was searching for possible lodging this coming summer. This lodge looked to be great and very accommodating. I however declined to make a reservation due to the EXTREMELY POOR customer service from the person I spoke to over the phone, which was the owner himself. It seemed as if it was a burden to ask for information about the lodge and his disdain for any contact with any human being was very evident. He did not show any sense of "helping a future customer", nor did he reflect any, and I mean ANY, type of professionalism with his service. This being said, it made it clear that if the service is this horrible over a simple 45 second phone call, then the actual in person service must be an utter horror to deal with. My research of the surrounding area actually uncovered many other wonderful and better places to stay. In short, the ownership is lack luster at best, and does not give any motivation to possible customers to stay their due to the very bad customer service. read more

This is the cleanest and nicest rest area I have ever been to. I wish more parks were this nice!! Most times I won't even go to the restroom. It looks like the building is new. They have a few vending units. A nice perk that I saw is that it had 2 bug pet areas (very well marked) it was also very family friendly. read more

This was the perfect place to rest my head. Clean, quaint, cozy, and affordable! Family friendly with plenty of opportunities for adventures! A nice remote retreat, but still has great internet! :) read more

Probably the worst place I've ever stayed. Rooms smell like a three-pack a day smoker lived there. No hand soap, shampoo or conditioner. Froze all night because the heater didn't work. The only reason I'm giving this place a 2 star instead of a 1 star is because the desk clerk was so friendly. read more

My husband our dog and I were recently displaced from the Delta fire. It was such a relief to find a clean , pet friendly, affordable place to lay our heads for a few nights. The outdoor area was so nice. Green grass ,shade trees, horse shoe pits...we found it very relaxing I personally liked the landscape of driftwood and flowers. Will definitely come back!!! read more

Great place to stay. The rooms are clean a and the manager is awesome! Lots to do on site ie: play pool, BBQ, and play horse shoes. There is also a bar almost next door. And they are pet friendly. My girlfriend and I will definitely be back!! read more

After an airbnb reservation was canceled on us due to the storm we decided on this place because of the location and reviews... we called early around 8am throughout the hour continuing to get a busy Line.... we decided to show up anyway and see if they were vacant ... we arrived around 2pm ... the sign was lit up and it read open... we rang the bell & called multiple times without an answer ..... we drove around a little thinking maybe they were busy in a room, tried again 30 min later, still no reply .... so we ended up down the road at Lake shasta motel ... maybe next time we will get to see what it's all about?! We were looking forward to checking out the pool table! read more

Lakehead Lodge has very clean rooms. We just rode in from Calaveras County on our motorcycles and had the most peaceful nights rest ever. It was within walking distance to a great bar n grill and we felt very welcome by everyone. It was nice to feel safe and come back to a comfortable, peacefull room. I especially loved the cool table n chair set outside our room. It was a great big Happy Face :) read more

My Fiancé and I were on the road all day and came across this little gem. It is a cute little lodge with great customer service. If you are looking for high end hotel type of stay this isn't the place for you. But if you are looking for something quiet, quaint and simple this is the place for you. When you are in the middle of this forest who needs the high end chain hotels. read more

We stayed here for 1 night, booked 2 rooms for our group. The place is extremely shabby and worn out. Doesn't feel clean. In one of the rooms the sheets on the bed weren't clean, it seemed that they have not been changed after the previous visitors. Nothing much is around, you have to drive to the lake, and it's not the best area of the lake anyway. Will not recommend this place for vacationing, unless you just need a cabin to sleep on your way to CA or OR. The website stated there is a free WI-FI - it's not working or doesn't exist. $85 is greatly overpriced given the condition of the place. read more

Stayed here twice in one week of travel up to the PNW. Great place conveniently right off I-5 yet in a wooded area. Drive and park next to your door. Simple clean and friendly service. Not a resort but not expensive and much better than staying in places in Redding. Highly recommended. read more

Very cozy little place to stay I am glad I am aware of it now I usually go up to the Oregon coast every year this is about a little over the halfway mark from where I live great area for dogs and fun area for the family with a barbecue and grass area to play in for kids read more

Cute little place that is right off I-5. Nothing fancy but it is clean, has a very nice man that checked us in, and it is a great low price. It's a 2 minute walk to the local watering hole. read more

No frills. Clean. Cheap easily access the lake. Their friendly dog Tovar added to the "homey" feel read more

Stayed here for a wedding in town. Great little place. Clean and a good deal! Would stay here again.

This place was nice and clean and comfortable. The owner Dave was super cool and gave us fresh towels and made sure our stay was great! Thank you for the great service and wonderful clean rooms. 5 STARS!! read more

Great little place to spend a few days. Quiet and reasonably priced.

Last week I decided I needed a break from Ojai and ended up at this motel. It was hot, I was tired, and there was a room available that was reasonable. I got #5 and the manager said it was a new memory foam mattress in that room. It was 2 miles from the lake & ended up there for 3 days. The room was so clean & cozy, I will definitely be back. read more

Just stayed for restful three nights. The place is appearently a small family business, which is awesome. It appears they have been doing upgrades, yet the rooms are still kinda throwback, which is fine. They have cute little porches with tables and chairs, a BBQ, horseshoes, and a game room with a pool table. They have Dish TV and wifi (which gave me problems). They have locked boat parking/storage which is nice, though I just left mine hooked up and on the street--seemed quite safe. There is a super cool local bar/grill 100 yards away, had good food and drinks there. The owners were super nice and accommdating, as we showed up at 1:00 AM to check in. And, there is a grocery store nearby, gas, and another diner too, which has really good food and coffee. But the best thing for us, having had back injuries, was the bed. It seemed brand new and was SUPER comfortable. And not having any back pain after three nights on a motel bed--priceless. Keep it local folks, and this is a great little gem. Oh, and the boat launch at Antlers is close by, not too crowded, clean, and in more of a less crowded area of the lake. We were in ànd out of the lake every time with zero wait. Go, enjoy Lakehead. read more

Great place to stay anytime of year yet one must advised that the summertime months are very busy (May thru September) so if your planning a trip to enjoy Lake Shasta best make an reservation. The rooms are affordable and the friends that I have sent there were in AWE!!! Nice get away place for locals from Redding or further South. I recommend the Lake Shasta Lodge. Nice,normal good people. Enjoy read more

Stayed here for a week over the summer as part of a family vacation. The Owner, Jim, was wonderful and very accomodating. He can also answer question you might have about the area, especially fishing. Its not the Ritz, but its clean and well kept. You can't beat the rates. 5 Minutes from the lake in the most beautiful setting. We would certainly stay there again. read more

What a great little hideaway. So clean, friendly and cost friendly. Nice restaurant/bar next door and the lake is full. Lots of boat parking. Will definitely be going back for another visit. read more

Very comfortable, convenient, clean and well equipped. Best of all, amazing service. I arrived with my car emergency hazard light flashing. The owner personally checked the car and determined the oil was critically low. But wait, there's more....he got the oil so I did not have to run the car, filled it up, and made sure the car was safe to go. Words can't express my gratitude. He simply said, "Well, you'd do it for me", Human kindness lives!! Give this guy some business and stay at Lake Shasta Lodge!!!!! Carol read more

our family had two rooms over the memorial week and it was close to the lake they have new beds it's just been repainted and the air conditioning was super cold we really had a good time. nice place read more
