Occidental Lodge Hotel, Occidental, California September, 2008 I have just returned home from a stay at Occidental Lodge Hotel and had a wonderful, relaxing time. I was able to take a nice swim and then sit in the sun and relax with my book! The staff was very pleasant and extremely helpful when I needed advice on travel time and... more

We stayed over on a Saturday night for a nearby wedding and decided to spend another night and enjoy the area. Our room was spacious, the beds comfortable, and although it was full on the Saturday night we had no trouble with excessive noise. GREAT breakfast place directly across the street and all restaurants are within walking distance. They were... more

The carpet (in spite of the Owner indicating that it was cleaned last week) was disgusting. While walking around barefoot for 5 minutes, I noticed my feet had turned black. The towels were unclean and the owner was unapologetic when confronted with these issues. The hotel was noisy, small, and it's clear why it's less expensive than the others. I... more

We’re the kings of weekend trips and we always look for a place to have it all - scenry, relaxation, stuff to do, great price. This is it. There are many places around the wine country to stay but we’ve found that usually getting what we want means having to pay more than we want. The hotel was inviting, friendly... more

I truly don't understand the favourable comments by other travelers about this motel. The rooms are tired and dingy. The bed covers are almost completely polyester, the bathrooms smell dubious and our tub had burn marks on its plastic rim. The first room that we were put in had a wet carpet and a wet-dog smell. The owners were rude... more

Occidental itself is a tiny but very nice village to stay. We can recommend the Occidental Hotel. We had a very spacious room with 2 queens at reasonable price. Opposite the hotel is a very nice restaurant/bakery for having breakfast or lunch. For dinner you can walk to one of the (3?) restaurants in the village. A very peaceful place! more

This is the only "reasonably" priced hotel in Occidental-so we stayed for one night. It's pathetic! From the grouchy clerk-we asked for a "quiet" room to the shabby decor-this isn't worth it. Our quiet room was in the middle of two others, and on the bottom floor. Due to old construction-you could hear everything! It sounded like a herd of... more

For anyone looking for a weekend get-away with ocean and wine country scenery, this is it ! My wife and I were reffered to Negri's from a young lady in San Francisco working at a restaraunt. We were looking for a retreat off the beaten path, but close enough to enjoy the Northern California countryside: Occidental is the place. After... more

My girlfriend and I just returned from a fantastic long weekend in the quaint town of Occidental. We have stayed at the Occidental Lodge four times now and it has yet to disappoint! With the beaches and wineries close by, Occidental is the ideal place to stay. The Lodge is clean, quiet and the staff has always been friendly. If... more
