Beautiful property. Staff was helpful, breakfast was delivered to our room, there was an option that worked for my diabetic needs. They have Wi-Fi, which is necessary because it doesn’t have much cellular reception. Dining options are limited, but it’s just a short distance to restaurants off I-5. The room was spacious and pet friendly.

Close to I-5, bed was comfortable… this seems to be a converted house. The room we stayed in was a converted living room or family room (hummingbird). Had an interesting smell of food that I didn’t recognize. There were many mosquito eaters (bugs) flying around the room. We killed three of them before we went to sleep. I think someone left the door open, (maybe to air it out?) over all I enjoyed the bed and shower, my wife said she probably wouldn’t want to stay there again.

The service was really good. Communication with the reception was good. They were very caring. The place was quite but didn't have restriction about noice. It would have been nice to be able to cook my own meals but they offer a delicios breakfast. I would recommend and stay there again.

We both totally enjoyed our 3 night stay at the Inn at Shasta Lake. Our room "the Goldfinch" was adorable, and very comfortable. Super compact, but absolutely everything we needed. As noted in the hotel write up, this area is very remote with limited services. We dined on site and were pleasantly surprised with absolute delicious Indian cuisine dinners. The staff was very, very friendly, and quickly attended to our every need. We well definitely be coming back!

Disappointing Stay in the “Goldfinch” Room — Not W

I would strongly advise against booking the Goldfinch room. Calling it a "luxury" room is incredibly misleading. At just 200 square feet, a full third is taken up by the bathroom, leaving the sleeping area feeling more like a phone booth—for those who remember phone booths. There’s no closet, not even a coat hook. The bed is about as comfortable as a futon—firm, unyielding, and far from restful. To make things worse, the bed doesn’t even face the television (which hardly matters, since the only channels available were infomercials). The room’s single window and its glass front door both face the lobby entrance, with bright lights shining through the blinds all night. It’s noisy, lacks privacy, and feels more like an afterthought than a guest room. I later discovered that a room more than twice the size was just $10 more, which made the whole experience feel like a complete ripoff. This was a textbook case of putting lipstick on a pig: glossy description, deeply flawed execution. I won’t be staying again—and I suggest you don’t either.
