In the process of refurbishing. Most fixtures, towels/bedding brand new. Original design makes baths inconveniently organized (but usable). Will go back because it's getting better!

When I say it is a VERY small motel room it is not an understatement. It is about the size of a regular dining room. There was barely enough room at the foot of the bed to walk between it and the wall, and with the TV mounted on that wall, it reduced the ability to navigate to the bathroom even more. I know from reading the reviews prior to making reservations that the owners were remodeling this motel, but I was still unprepared for how thin the walls were, and the ability to hear EVERYTHING that went on next door. The staff were very friendly and the rooms were clean, which was a huge plus for my wife, but I don't think I would stay there again. I do apologize for this bad review but It is the best I can do.

DO NOT STAY HERE! This hotel is disgusting. The grounds are dirty, and in need of repair. I wore shoes in the room the whole time, the walls are dirty, the toilet had a crack in it, the mattress was hard, the floors were dirty, the room in general needs a lot of repairs(Room #4). All of that was not the worst part, the worst part was the odor. I am not sure what the smell was or were it was coming from but it was so bad. This was the last room in Alturas available I should of just slept in my truck!

Not recommended
The office didn’t open at six as I was told for coffee and or cereal juice or rolls. There were about six to eight men hanging out in court yard area every night that leads to rooms. The room smelled like smoke in a no smoking facility. The floor was so dirty my grand dtrs feet were literally black after her shower from walking in the room barefoot. Her parents room had the same issue with dirty floor. It did not feel very secure for the three groups of our family that was there for an event in town.

Highly dissappointed
I stayed here before and I was given a very nice room just a year ago. This year for the same price I got a tiny room you could barely walk around the bed. There was dirt residue all along the bottom of the walls making you wonder how thouroughly its cleaned. The linens/towels were thankfully all cleaned. When trying to work the tv its was a miracle to get it on and couldnt even get anything but static. When I arrived to check in I waited around for about 10 mins, I could hear people in the back but got no response when I called out several times. A lady drove up and dropped someone off then drove off, then a minute later realized someone was in the office and came back. They have a sign on the door that could have been utilized to let someone know they would be back soon or something. She was good about getting us extra towels later at least. On site there is an ok open breakfast "bar". Overall I was disappointed to spend bearly $70 for this when a motel 6 in the bad part of reno is better and cheaper.
