Not a Lodge, a small Motel. Rooms were clean but needed better pillows, black out curtains.

We live in Redding and wanted a place away from home to spend our Anniversary. We went on in to Dunsmuir the next day and had breakfast at Penny's Diner. Highly recommend the restaurant, very retro, and good food.
