Seneca Motel

I love the Chester/Lake Almanor area and have been going up there every summer for over 40 years. This is the first time I have stayed at the Seneca Motel. When we go, we are outside all day fishing, hiking, etc. All I am looking for is a place to wash off the dirt at the end of the day, watch a little tv, and have a clean bed to sleep in. The Seneca Motel met those needs. It is old, everything inside is old, but it was roomy with 2 bedroom areas, a small kitchen with a very old but working refrigerator and a microwave. No dishes or other kitchen stuff. The channel selection was decent. The tv was small and older. No coffee maker, no alarm clock. The bed was decent: not great, but not bad. The motel is off the main road, so it was quiet. The price was right too. Originally we were only go

Seneca Motel is a much older Motel so if you're looking for something fancy this isn't the place but if you're looking for somewhere clean quiet and comfortable this is it I'm not sure but I think most of the rooms have kitchenettes which is real nice. Most mornings you'll see the owners Ed and Vicki sitting out on the front porch drinking their morning coffee getting ready to start the day. So remember Seneca Motel is pet friendly in walking distance to the grocery store and the restaurants so I hope you enjoy yourself

First of all, I really don't know why other reviews are so bad for this place. We actually found it good. We wanted to visit Lassen on the July 4th long weekend. Because all other properties near the park were booked and this was the only place that was available (thanks to the previous bad reviews), we stayed here. This place has some real advantages. It is really close to the park (45 mins drive) and Chester is a nice place to stay with all restaurant options. The rooms were really basic but clean. I don't think it's fair to expect anything more than what you get for the price you pay. We had a pretty good experience. The host could have been friendlier. She just took our personal information when we arrived and asked us to leave the keys on top of the TV when we check out. And that's it

My boyfriend and his family stay at this hotel when they come up to Chester for opening day of Duck Season. This was my first year going and they thought that I would find it to be lacking quality and shabby but I didn't at all! The room was clean, and everything was in good order. We were in a room that had a kitchen attached and though we were a little surprised that there weren't any cooking utensils or plates, etc. it was easily remidied by the grocery store down the road. The best was the stovetop/fridge combo, seriously, I want one! The bed was comfortable and not noisy, we could hear our neighbors through the wall, but short of re-building they can't really do too much about that. Maybe it is becuase I live in a resort/hotel community and prices that start at $200 for a room

we have stayed here a couple of times during our trips to Lassen National Park and although it is not the taj mahal we find the motel to be clean, quiet and comfortable. They are pet friendly and have a couple of real nice cats to greet you. The owner has a couple of dogs as well but they were contained and seemed well behaved at least when we were there. There was no coffee pot in the room and I am not sure about an ice machine either but the Beacon is about 2 blocks away for that type of stuff. The room we stayed in had a small kitchenette (no dishes) with a stove/fridge/freezer combo. The owner was very nice to us and made us feel welcome. If you are looking for a high end resort atmosphere this is not the place for you but if you have pets and are looking for pet friendly lodging at a
