We loved this hotel. The Beds are so comfy and the pillows too.the rooms were clean and there was a lot parking right near our room. In the Evening Time we enjoyed the large hot tub, it was very relaxing. I only wished we had taken advantage of the complimentary limo. We plan on returning again.

Emerald Forest Cabins
Amazing experience right outside of the Redwood Forrest park. You literally get to sleep surrounded by Redwoods! The town of Trinidad was beautiful less than a mile away and full of little restaurants and shops. The sunset on the coast was a must see and something we will never forget

The Snoozzz Inn
My boyfriend and I stayed here when we needed a room last minute on a road trip — the room was immaculate (I’m a bit of an germaphobe especially when traveling), the bathroom/shower was SO nice, and the woman at the front desk was sooo kind. We were so blessed to find this place!
