It was getting late on a Saturday night, and my husband and I were on Highway 101 heading south, and came upon Garberville...and the Garberville Motel. It looked ok from the outside, so we took a room. As we approached the room, we saw mismatched office furniture being used as "outdoor" seating. We entered the room and were appalled. Dark,... More

The Best Western price was ridiculous, so we were looking around to find a place that allowed pets. The cost was decent but the room was dirty, and carpet was gross. They had a fridge, microwave and table with 2 chairs. It was actually quite crowded with the 2 double beds. In a pinch and we had our dog with... More

The only good thing is that a room was available and I was desperate as all other places I tried for miles and miles were booked. I got one of the last two rooms. The room smelled very strongly of smoke (although it and all others in the building were non-smoking), The sheets and blankets had tears and holes, the... More

Room was large with mw & fridge, air-conditioning worked. Wall surfaces and bedspreads appeared to be new. Our carpet needed cleaning. Door had meager locks with exterior "Vacant/occupied" indicator. No chain-lock made me nervous "housekeeping" would accidentally enter (no do not disturb sign) We stayed 4 nights--Internet password only worked one night and was SLOW, almost worthless. Towels were shabby.... More

First, the positive: Within walking distance of most everything that's downtown in beautiful Garberville. The negative: 1. The room was dirty and smelled funky. Black hairs in the tub, dirty carpet and bedspread. 2. The maids appeared to be the adult children of the family living there. They used the local grocery store's shopping carts to keep the linens and... More

To be honest, it's a kind of filthy place. Both the office and our room had a weird smell, no idea what it was. The mattress had several stains, everything seemed very old, exept for maybe the carpet. WiFi was kind of slow, but working. Despite all we slept not that bad, but wouldn't stay there again.

I enjoyed the handicap room. It is spacious with 2 queen beds, walk-in curtained shower with built-in seat, hand held showerhead, A REGULAR SHOWERHEAD (something we didn't have in the chain hotels on this trip). Also handles on wall that were very helpful. I am not in a chair full-time and this room worked for me; also I was not... More

They advertised "High Speed Wireless Internet" but it was barely faster than dialup at 100kbps. I spoke to the manager, who said he couldn't do anything about it and refused to issue a partial refund. Morrow is that from now on I will test wireless in the motel lobby before checking in. The rooms were cheesy and dirty with holes... More

I stopped in Garberville when it got dark. Some of the other places were asking 30 dollars more a night for the room. It's old, but it's clean, quiet, and the bed is decent. The night service is slow (locked door, push button, wait) but nice enough when it arrives.
