The room was clean and comfortable. The gentleman at the front desk was friendly and helpful. The only down side is that we travel with our dog and there really isn't anywhere to walk him except the streets.

Trailside Inn is right on our way to our destination. It is an average motel with the usual conveniences: microwave, fridge, TV. There was always adequate hot water and I had a good soak in the bathtub. It was nice.

Middle of the road hotel

We booked multiple rooms for a family gathering. Some of the rooms were definitely nicer than others. It was tough only having double beds instead of queens. There were multiple breakfast items to choose from. There is not a pool as shown on some websites, but staff was friendly and helpful.

Trailside Inn is conveniently located in Alturas, CA. It is dog-friendly, reliably heated and cooled, and the room was equipped with a refrigerator and microwave and a TV with cable. It is pretty standard for an American motel in a small town. We opted to have breakfast at the Wagon Wheel Restaurant, and that was terrific. Parking is convenient. Alturas is a quiet place with wildlife sometimes walking through town. We enjoyed our stay.

It’s a really nice place to stay, they had a variety of options for the breakfast and it was the best breakfast I’ve ever had at any hotels I’ve stayed at. I would definitely go back again when I go out that way. Very friendly staff easy check in and out. Nice comfortable beds.
