flew into Reno, headed toward Mt. Lassen, and stayed at the Seneca Motel one night before summiting Lassen the next day, and driving on to Mt. Shasta City in June '09. Looks like it's family run, and they had at least two cats. Sweet. The motel is off the highway, so it loses the traffic noise. It is quaint from the outside, and the rooms are a bit spartan. It was relaxing enough for me, for what it was. Not a resort.

My boyfriend and his family stay at this hotel when they come up to Chester for opening day of Duck Season. This was my first year going and they thought that I would find it to be lacking quality and shabby but I didn't at all! The room was clean, and everything was in good order. We were in a room that had a kitchen attached and though we were a little surprised that there weren't any cooking utensils or plates, etc. it was easily remidied by the grocery store down the road. The best was the stovetop/fridge combo, seriously, I want one! The bed was comfortable and not noisy, we could hear our neighbors through the wall, but short of re-building they can't really do too much about that. Maybe it is becuase I live in a resort/hotel community and prices that start at $200 for a room each night, I think for what we paid we had a very nice room and a great stay. The people that we met were very friendly and helpful. The cat is still there!

Nothing's changed to make me disagree with the other reviews. My room was $55 with tax and it should've been much less.

Absolutely nothing should be saved.....quiet until the people in the room next to yours started talking.....full kitchen but nothing in it to cook in or eat off of, kind of useless. The cat was the only friendly thing there.
