Cute Motel with potential but…
The place is really cute on the exterior and interior. They have an outdoor chess board you can play with, lights, a pool, a fire pit and Halloween decorations. The issues: The problem was when we got there after check-in they were still cleaning the room so we left and came back twice until they finished. The room smelled great and all surfaces were wiped clean. Also, there was mud/dirt, crumbs, and a pill underneath the bed and was discovered when our toddler dropped his toys and went to find them. I just wish they would’ve cleaned the entire room because my rating would’ve changed.

The manager Bruce went above and beyond to make our stay at the Kern Lodge. It was a pleasure to see a manager(Bruce) so hands on. From doing esthetic maintainance, to assisting his guests with guidance of the local area, and even helping out open a locked door with the key on the wrong side of it. I can't wait to stay again. This was my fourth stay this year and most memorable. Thank you to the staff of the Kern Lodge.

Found cigarette butts in my room on the dresser and floor. Had to ask for a vaccum and vaccum the floor myself as well as mop the whole room. They ran out of extra pillows and the vacuum I used sent ash in the air when I started it up . A bunch of people I know stayed there and one of them actually had bed bugs in their room. When we arrived our doors were actually open. This place has potential but needs a big change in management.

i booked a room that was an exceptionally low price & when i got there that room was not available so they put me in a beautiful 2 bedroom suite that was 3x as much as what i paid at no extra cost so i am really grateful. I arrived kinda late but they were very polite, friendly and treated me very well i would def stay there again & again.

At check in we were told they double booked and that I shouldn’t have had a room reserved. Michelle at the front desk found us a room, although my original booking was for an apartment. Room trash was full and there was a bar of used soap in the shower. Fire alarm was not hooked up and just placed on a shelf. We also talked with a local that said the motel is known for squatters. Do not book here!!!

Well, I did not get to stay at the property, but I can review what I seen and experienced at the property. When we got there, there was no one in the office. We called the hotel, from the lobby/entrance, and the phone rang and rang. No answer. Finally, someone in the back of the property was watering, so we approached and asked for assistance. He came to the office, could not help, went to a back house and got someone, she came and she advised that the hotel is fully booked and that Expedia, who we booked through should have never booked us as they are completely booked. They had 1 room with plumbing issues they could see if were repaired enough to give us, but it was not. Dealing with Expedia has been unsuccessful for a refund as this hotel staff will not answer the phone as to confirm that we were unable to stay there. So I am still dealing with trying to get a refund. I can say that the pool was dirty, green murky water, and we had thought before we could not get our reservation that we were not going to use the pool, even though we planned it as it was super hot that weekend. The pictures do not reflect what we saw. Parking is sparse to say the least...The worst is that the entire area we were going to visit, all of the lodgings were booked. We found 1 place that would only accommodate us for the night. So, if given the opportunity in the future, I would not stay at this hotel.

This not a Ritz Carlton and is exactly what you’d expect from a rustic lodge in a small town. It was clean, the front desk was helpful, and it is walking distance from everything. The beds squeak and I could hear the neighbors tossing as I’m sure they could hear me. Wouldn’t choose this for a couples vacation. I would stay solo again.
