The Northern Inn

I like this place, I believe a husband and wife own it and they have made a ton of upgrades and improvements over the last several months. Most recently, they were doing work on the roof. This is my first choice when I'm in Redway for work, it's convenient, I feel safe and I have everything I need :)

Clean room but older building with thin walls. Great Bar and Grill next door

Staff is very nice. The location of the motel is great, near the Avenue of the Giants. The beds sheets and towers are clean.

The floor was laminate and not very clean. The floor around the bathtub looked kind of dirty due to needing new caulking. The furniture was very cheep and warn. Bare wood was exposed all around the edges. The curtains had holes in them that let light in and they looked dirty. Just kind of a tacky place, and I really hate to say that!

I liked management,friendliness, and willingness to help with any problems and needs. Someone above us that was there both nights of our stay, was constantly walking around his room at all hours, even in the early hours of the morning. How anyone can be so inconsiderate of others or be that active all hours of the day, is more than I can understand.

I do not like to give negative reviews, but I feel like I have to on this one. The guy at the office during check in was nice enough, but our room was pretty gross. The towel rack was loose and about ready to come out of the wall. There was a small dresser in the bathroom that seemed like it was probably purchased at a garage sale or a goodwill store. The floor tile seemed fairly updated, but it was dirty. I put my shoes back on after I got out of the shower so that I wouldn’t get my feet dirty before getting into bed. The bed seemed clean enough but the pillows were hard. The air conditioner in our room did not work and the thermostat was stuck on “Err” for error. I didn’t reach out to the front desk because I figured it was pointless and didn’t feel like relocating to a different room as we checked in pretty late at night. There’s a bar right next-door that stayed open until about 3 AM and I could hear people and music up until that time because I had the window open due to the non-functioning, air conditioner. We did not pay much to stay here and I guess you get what you pay for much of the time, but in this case, we overpaid.

I would have given it 5 stars had it not been for the stairs and elevation changes with several sets of 4 stairs between rooms on upper level. It was killer getting by our stuff up and down all those stairs!!

The hotel was clean and in good condition. There was plenty of noise late at night and early in the morning. Probably just due to the current guests.

This was a GREAT stay for us, traveling on a motorcycle!!! There is a nice Bar & Grill, Brass Rail, right next store, which was an AWESOME end to a days ride!!!
