Laura Lodge

Edit: the three star review but I am now changing it to one star because upon checking out of this place after all the inconvenience, he decided to charge us more per night than what we originally agreed upon and tried to say that we owed him $15 even though we were leaving three days before our original date, and the reason we are leaving is because he kept trying to change what room we were in. Communication was not clear at all. I would not recommend staying here as the person who is running this place obviously does not know how to properly manage a business fairly to all patrons, definitely avoid. Original review: I was very happy with the location, price, and size of the room, but definitely don't recommend staying here for more than one night if you have kids. Unless your children

He handed me a REAL ROOM KEY! Wifi is terrible, no Verizon signal, no ice machine. In room TV, bed, refrigerator, A/C, heat. Clean and decent. As it is in most things, the personal interactions are most important. On that account, Laura Lodge gets TEN STARS. I am visiting from a south eastern state, I live on a rural mountain l depend on my neighbors for support as a necessity, in turn they depend on me. You could pick up Laura's Lodge, drop it in my town, it would fit right in. The innkeeper was kind and helpful, personally checked the room, and bade me a goodnight. Then : He handed me a REAL ROOM KEY! Thank God for the little things that make these moments precious, and life enjoyable. A key is solid, uncomplicated, and everyone can work one. No flimsy plastic to loose, no beep and

PROS: Hotel is off the main road so it's quieter, but within easy walking distance of restaurants, downtown and it has an Ace Hardware on the next block over, there are plenty of amenities nearby. I had a single bed room that was clean and had a large closet, the manager was a cool dude that put me on the second floor which is a little quieter then the ground level rooms and has less foot traffic. CONS: Parking lot is a little small, there is also a lot behind the building but I don't recommend parking there overnight because none of the rooms have windows facing that side of the building and it looks pretty sketchy.

If you want a DETAILED and accurate review of Laura Lodge....read on. |We were in Coalinga briefly on business. The room was reasonably priced. And while I couldn't care less about decor (or in this case, the lack thereof), be advised that the website pictures are deceiving. There aren't even any bedspreads on the beds. |Overall, the room was adequately clean, smelled ok, and my bedbug search was thankfully, unproductive. I would prefer it to be cleaner, though. The mirrors, microwave door, and TV screen were all streaky. The floor was swept ("hardwood" floor, no carpet in my particular room), but not recently mopped. Cobwebs in the bathroom. Small amount of dust on surfaces. However, there wasn't any "icky-ness"...no mold, mildew, or hair, and nothing greasy or sticky. The room appears

Old, bare, basics. Looks clean but lots of hanging cob webs. We slept in our clothes because we weren't sure that the bedding was clean. Don't expect much and you'll almost get your money's worth. Upside, no loiterers,fridge & TV worked except the volume was low and could not be adjusted up. Wifi was good.
