Quaint refurbished motel. Clean and cozy rooms, friendly staff, easy parking. The food at the on site restaurant was delicious. I even enjoyed the sound of the train that passed by in the night. Unfortunately these older properties have paper thin walls, and you hear everything going on in the adjoining rooms. Even though they have posted quiet hours, if people ignore them, getting a good night's sleep is impossible.

“Great place, just thin walls”

Great location and the staff were very helpful. The rooms are nice, clean, and comfortable. My only reason for giving it a 4 instead of a 5 are due to the paper thin walls. I could hear every word from the couple next door, and they weren't being particularly loud. Had a hard time sleeping due to t… more

We stayed at Shasta Inn while passing through Mt. Shasta and appreciated the rustic charm and clean rooms. The property is simple but offers the basics for a short stay. There’s also a restaurant just past the lobby, which is convenient if you’re not heading into town. The main downtown area is a short drive away. We were traveling with another couple who needed a ground floor room (what we were originally assigned to) and since the hotel does not have elevators, we swapped rooms at check in to accommodate them which worked out fine. However, a few hours later we came back from dinner to find a woman walking into their ground floor room... yes, the one they were already staying in. Turns out the front desk mistakenly reassigned the same room to another guest. The staff member on duty (who had also checked us in) didn’t seem particularly alarmed by the situation, which was surprising given the seriousness of the mix-up. It made me fear that someone had easily walked into our room too. I had also asked about borrowing some bags for cornhole, which is available in the front play area. The front desk agent wasn’t very friendly and reminded me they were closing at 9pm and that there’s a noise ordinance. Totally understandable, but it wasn’t yet 9 and the activity area had already been shut down. One big heads-up for light sleepers: the inn is located very close to active train tracks. Trains came through several times overnight and the horns were loud. I’d suggest earplugs or choosing a different property if you're sensitive to sound. On a positive note, we were pleasantly surprised to receive a to-go breakfast bag when checking out. It included a pastry, granola bar, yogurt, and bottled water... perfect for our early morning hike up Mt. Shasta. While the property was clean and had some thoughtful touches like the to-go breakfast bag, the experience was impacted by how the room assignments were handled and the staff’s tone. The location may be convenient for accessing town and nearby hikes, but the frequent train noise makes it a less ideal choice for light sleepers. A little more attentiveness to guest needs would go a long way in improving the overall stay.
