Convenient to Lassen Volcanic NP south entrance, but nothing else is around except this row of rooms & cabins behind them, a mercantile, then their restaurant with front office across the street. The front office is not labeled so several of us went into the restaurant and got redirected to the side. Check in did not take a credit card for incidentals (maybe because I paid via Expedia?). The restaurant is big and very nice. Food was OK, but not worth the price, in my opinion, however maybe it’s the distance and cost of getting food supplies, so the nice ambience makes up for the price? Service was great too, which was a plus. Parking lines were very faded everywhere. Room was very basic and pretty worn, especially the hardwood floors, with a smell I couldn’t place (maybe wet wood?). It snowed before our arrival (first week of April) and there wasn’t a bathroom window cover, just frosted glass. The bathroom tile floor was super cold, but the water heated up nicely and so did the room. Overall, the room served its purpose, a simple place to sleep when visiting Lassen. I got the cheapest option with 2 queens. Side note: About 35-40 minutes south on Hwy 32, a bear was galloping down the hill and crossed the highway in front of us! He never looked back, was going at maybe a 120 degree angle, then dropped out of sight down the hill on the right. Highlight of our trip!
