Property has potential as a boutique hotel but appears unfinished. Room was clean and there was plenty of hot water for a nice long shower. Walking distance to local brewery for drinks and dinner. Courtyard is quite nice and can see it being a bonus space for a group booking. Observed property is pet friendly. Parking is not convenient to rooms overlooking the converted courtyard, no elevators, and ice was by request at the front desk. Conveniently out of ice when a small amount was requested prior to check out. Staff appears to enjoy their smoke breaks and were somewhat less welcoming than anticipated for a hotel trying to position itself as "boutique". Breakfast was mediocre at best although will give some credit for variety of offerings. Probably would have rated half star more had we not already experienced a true boutique property (at a better price) while visiting Silverton, Oregon.

The hotel is always clean and the staff is friendly. I enjoy walking to the river in the mornings to drink my coffee. There aren't many options to stay in Fortuna, but this is my choice every time.

First, the manager Alicia was amazing, they were immediately apologetic and understanding when we decided to not stay a second night due to the condition of our room. They made it very clear that the state of our room was unacceptable by their standards and that the housekeeping staff responsible would be talked to. That was the best part of our experience unfortunately, our rooms sheets were stained, had burn holes and there was clumps of hair on the shower wall. It clearly hadn’t been cleaned throughly.

Upon checkin I found the staff unprofessional. We had an issue with the reservation and needed help to resolve which was met with one employee badmouthing another. They did finally get the situation rectified but not before we heard all about the incompetence of the staff. One of our rooms smelled strongly of smoke which this is supposed to be a smoke free environment. The pool was nice for the kids. Breakfast was adequate but there was no milk for the cereal and no one present to help provide it. Overall just ok.

This is an old rustic hotel. It's a good deal for what you pay for. This is not for you if you prefer luxurious hotel. The walls are thin so you can hear people talking when they are loud inside their room and also when outside. The lady next to my room was talking on the phone and was really loud. Over all, it was quiet past 10 pm. The beds were comfortable. I recommend this to someone who is not picky.

The rooms were dirty, the beds were smaller than advertised, the fridge was missing legs, there was no clock in the room, and the plugs were loose so everything plugged in fell out. The bathroom was very small for the size of the room. The pictures of this place are misleading, it is a motel, not a hotel. The pool was quite small and the depth was mislabeled. The staff seemed like they were on drugs and were usually out right in front of the sliding door, chain smoking cigarettes. Breakfast was not as advertised and the homeless in the area were allowed to come in and eat the breakfast ahead of the guests. They have a small business center for guests, but it was locked out and the employees did not know how to get in so there was no using the printer/computer offered. They offer books and games to borrow.

For some reason (which I think spawned from the wonderful mural painting of the redwood in the pool area), the Redwood Riverwalk gave me a Twin Peaks-esque vibe, which I really appreciated. The personal was super sweet, and the vibe really chill.

The property is in a location that doesn’t lend to walking to restaurants, although a good craft brewery is close by. Receiving host wasn’t too helpful with visiting info sources. The rest of the staff were good.

This is an older property that has been lovingly updated with lots of special touches. There's a swimming pool. My recommendation will be to update the Linens and to have extra blankets so we don't have to keep the heat on at night.

So my room looks like it’s in the middle of some updates. A bunch of drywall patches and other things that need to be fixed. None of the staff was very friendly. I walked by 4 or 5 that never even said hello. The pool was nice though there was a huge clump of hair floating around that was kind of gross.

Looked absolutely nothing like the photos on the website! Beds had no headboards and were extremely uncomfortable, holes in the walls, carpet was filthy, heater was leaking, the patio area and lobby were not as advertised. Advertised breakfast was just boiled egg and some stale pastries. Definitely avoid!

Its a nice place it was quiet and my room was pretty clean just a cpl body hairs in the tub got missed during cleaning. Other than that was clean enough. Parking kinda not the best as i was in a room on the other side of building and hallway was a little dark. Breakfast was pretty decent especially for the price of the room. Front desk guy was polite at check-in not very friendly but it was quick and easy. I would definitely stay here if youre looking for the best value on a budget.

Somewhat clean. Rooms need to get updated. All the towels were pretty old and very discolored. The lobby attendant could use some customer service classes. Tossing my credit card and ID back to me instead of handing or placing them on the counter. My wife asked for a spare blanket and she tossed towards her on the counter without saying anything and just walking away. As if she was annoyed by the request.
