I will never forget this place. It is in an amazing area. There are redwoods everywhere, and there is an elk refuge. Nearby is also an ocean beach with Fern Canyon. Fern Canyon is where Jurassic Park, Part 2 was filmed. It is majestic and gorgeous beyond words. I have actually seen bears and elk in that area before. In... More

This delightful motel isn't expensive, isn't fancy and isn't in a big resort town. It sits on the edge of Redwood National Park in the tiny town of Orick, CA. Comfortable rooms and an attached restaurant with real "home cooking" make this a feel good place you'll remember for years.

Went for lunch at the palm....had the truckers club house with onion rings.....it was great. What impressed me was everyone is treated as a local... Got a big coffee cup [local joke]. I happened to take a business card when I left.....good thing I did. I left my pile jacket behind on the chair. I phoned them 4 hours later... More

I must admit that I din't think too much of this place when I first came. The rooms are clean but old. And the wifi is spotty. That being said, there are some lovely things going on here when you look a little deeper than the first impression. My last couple of visits I had the pleasure of speaking with... More

One of the last places to stay if you want to see the Redwoods in the morning, unless you're camping. It was a very run down roadside motel, in a very run down town. But clean and the owners were very hospitable and we spelt fine. The diner attached to the motel was great, home cooked meals, great service and... More

Well, we had a great lunch at this diner. Not the most impressive architecture, or even perhaps cleanliness, but hey, it's an ALL AMERICAN Mom and Pop's grease diner in the middle of an ALL AMERICAN forest town. The town is just at the foot of the great and mighty REDWOOD forest so please do not expect fancy 5 star... More

Unlevel ,musty , broke down rooms should be condemned. The pool was ice water, when I asked why was told that it would cost too much to turn heater on. Tried to eat at the restaurant that was recommended by locals but couldn't stomach it after Stubby (the local) showed me his agent orange blister that was oozing pus. My... More

This motel has really gone downhill,We have stayed there 3 times before and it was even though the rooms were musty the service was ok. This time we stayed in a room where the doors stuck the toilet flooded and the shower door came off and flooded the floor. The fire alarm chirped from the steam in the room. There... More

Didn't stay at the hotel, but had breakfast here while passing through. Tough to find a restaurant in this part of California when visiting the Redwoods. We were told to try "The Palm" for a great American breakfast. Very kitchy and could be cleaner, but this restaurant fit the bill for the American breakfast. Good portion size. Pancakes were tasty,... More

Please, please do not stay here! The rooms were filthy, the neighbors loud and crude (there is a biker bar right next door that went on very loudly, and with much profanity pretty much all night), the rooms were not very clean and smelled musty, and the shower dripped all night long. We (my husband and two young kids) were... More
