Strawberry Inn

Guests appreciate the accommodating staff and convenient riverfront location with scenic views and local amenities. However, some found the beds uncomfortable due to old mattresses and low-quality pillows.

OK stay, but unlikely to return Easy access just off CA-108 highway, just a few minutes away from Dodge Ridge ski resort. Free parking right outside the entrance. Inside the front entrance, the check-in area is not well marked. Turn left, go through the restaurant and a small registration window is found just past the bar. After check-in, the staff member led us out through the bar/restaurant downstairs through the key-access area to our spacious room. No fridge or microwave, and beds had older, somewhat noisy mattress springs. Should have brought my own pillow from home. Small TV was equipped with direct tv and many non-premium in addition to pay-per-view channels. The main bedroom window overlooked a nice backyard. Unfortunately, a nearby porchlight was illuminated all night long, and it was not possible to block the light with the horizontal wood slat blinds. That and the in-wall heater/AC unit, which worked well to maintain a comfortable temperature, but which noisily cycled all night, made getting refreshing sleep somewhat more difficult. Bathroom was average size and clean. Shower enclosure had been updated a few years ago and hot water was quickly available. The side-by-side body wash and shampoo dispensers, however, appeared to have been filled with the same ingredient. The restaurant had tasty food, though from a restricted menu. Upon check-out Monday AM, there were no staff present. We saw a sign posted outside reading "closed Mon-Thurs" and the bar/check-in area was locked.

Nice place in a central location for kids tubing where there is snow. Friendly staff and the good and service are good. Feels like you're staying at a friend's cabin not quite like a hotel.
