“What happened to the chef?”

McCloud Hotel

3 of 5 stars
Santa Rosa, CA
Aug 17, 2006
7/8 found this review helpful

It seems that everyone who stays in McCloud either takes the dinner train or uses the site as a base for exploring the McCloud Falls or, further afield, Burney Falls. Certainly one or two overnights are fine to accomplish this. Because of its high rating (4 diamonds), we booked a deluxe room on the second floor, overlooking one of the many English style gardens. The inn's own web site will show you all the available rooms and you can make reservations on that basis. Blending into its English setting, the inn provides the frilly and frumpy amenities that evoke this type of atmosphere, and for the most part it succeeds. There are no TV's, radios, or hairdryers in the rooms, although noisy air-conditioning and a ceiling fan provide some relief from hot days. And that is fine--provided that there be a decent restaurant in town.

We called and booked at the end of March for two nights on June 20 and 21, 2006. Since their web site mentions a fine dining room on the premises, we naturally expected to be able to linger over a nice meal. It was quite hot that afternoon when we checked in and were relieved that the lobby was cool (not cold). But you can imagine our surprise (shock, really) when we were told that the chef had left over a month before. When were they planning on notifying guests?? "We sent out a notice two days ago." Yes, and we left before it had arrived. To compound our misery, everything else was closed! Yes, we could drive 12 miles to Mt. Shasta and back. We were certainly taken aback not so much that the chef left, but that no attempt had been made to notify us in a timely (i.e. reasonable) manner. When we checked out, we expected a 10% discount for both nights (an automobile club discount) as the staff said this was standard. We were again surprised to find out that since we stayed over on a Thursday night, this constituted a week-end and therefore there would be no discount.

So although the gardens are very nice and provide ample sitting areas and the rooms attractive and quaint, we would probably stay elsewhere, certainly somehwere that offers no unpleasant surprises.

“McCloud B&B Hotel was a delight!”

McCloud Hotel

4 of 5 stars
Bandon, OR & Los Barriles, MX
Jul 25, 2006
4/4 found this review helpful

We searched for a very nice place to stay about 1/2 way between Bandon, OR and So. Lake Tahoe, CA. McCloud is about that spot. The McCloud B&B Hotel was lovingly restored in 1993 and opened in 1995 by the present owner, Lee Ogden and his wife Marilyn, who is now deceased. It is easy to see that they put a ton of money and love into that restoration. It was a delight with its clean, friendly and quaint environment. Live music, wine and appetizers in the evening.

We had room 211, one of the "best front suites" and it was VERY spacious, nicely furnished, large private bath, separate jacuzzi (yeah!) and separate large shower.

They no longer serve dinner (or maybe just at this time of year) but we had a wonderful inexpensive meal at the River Grill across Hwy 89 from the Hotel. Family run, no smoking, pool, bar and the chicken marsala was WOW! and was only $12.95 or so. Jordan was our waitress, helping her Mom out in the summer and her service was very attentive and excellent. They also rent cabins there.

We missed the timing on the dinner train but sounds like it would be a blast. Check before going as to scheduled run times.

We give the McCloud B&B Hotel and the River Grill 2 thumbs up!

“Recalling bygone days”

McCloud Hotel

Jun 30, 2005
8/8 found this review helpful

We just stayed a couple of days in McCloud. The area is quite beautiful with wonderful hikes and scenery and the town is very quaint and tiny - not too much to see there although it's pleasant to walk around. There are a few shops in the historic district but often closed. The hotel is very lovely - with large spacious rooms and good service. The breakfasts were delicious however we were very disappointed with the dinners at their in-house restaurant. The setting is great (especially outside when it's warm enough to eat outside) but the food (based on one nite and two entrees) was covered with not very good sauce - rather unsophisticated. But it wouldn't stop up from staying there again - there are always other places to eat. Really a wonderful place.

“McCloud Hotel”

McCloud Hotel

Feb 15, 2005
17/20 found this review helpful

We have just returned from 4 days in the town of McCloud and the surrounding area. The town of McCloud is like stepping back in time and having a great relaxing time.

We stayed at the McCloud Hotel on Main Street. I can not say enough about the great service and care that this B&B takes to make its guests very comfortable. The people working at this B&B make you feel as if this were your home every day of the week. The rooms are large, clean and airy. The food that is prepared for each meal is delicious. The dinner menu is very good along with the great service. The breakfast menu is just as good as dinner, along with the same great service.

Everyone is eager to share the history of this wonderful building and all the people that have made this such a great place to visit.

My husband and I will be sure to have this B&B and town on our list of "must return".
