We arrived after midnight after being stuck behind an accident in blizzard conditions for 6 and a half hours.

We arrived to find the parking lot covered in about 8 inches of snow. As I trudged through the calf-deep snow, I nearly slipped on the stairs up to the office (none of the stairs had been cleared of snow). We did not even bother to take a suitcase out of the car, so we would not have to carry it across the snow-covered parking lot.

We asked about the breakfast advertised here and were told that there was only coffee in the room.

We went up the snow-choked steps to our room, and discovered the heat was not working. We were so tired that we just crawled into bed and tried to sleep. The people upstairs chose then to clomp and take a shower, which we were clearly able to hear, making it difficult to fall asleep.

Traveling on our California road trip, we were running out of day, but not 'po dunk' towns. We drove 56 miles out of our way, as Mt. Shasta was the biggest town around. 'It's a ski town, there should be plenty acceptible accommodations, right? '...no, nope, wrong. This town was just a larger than your average 'po dunk' town. The Best Western was booked due to Labor day, and all the firemen staying to fight the fires (bad fire season, they were everywhere! ). We drove down 'the strip' and everything 'decent looking' was booked. We came here only out of desperation. Got the last room......at $178! OUCH THAT HURT! - Especially since this room should NEVER go for more than $79! One deflated pillow each, window rattler AC in the bathroom. Cigarette burns in the dated comforter, very hard bed. Undesirable decor all around. No care put into even keeping this place updated. Yup, your average dated, unkempt motel capitalizing on a busy weekend. Enjoy it Alpine Lodge, your janky hotel, and po dunk town will never, EVER see me or my money again. ||DO NOT STAY OVERNIGHT HERE. IT'S NOT WORTH IT! Skip this horrendous town all together and go a few hours more to Tahoe if you want to ski. ||Do...
