Idyllwild Inn

Unfortunately their high rating did not meet our expectations. Only positive was the location. Poorly maintained cabin no 2 caused injury to my 2 year old granddaughter’s leg by an exposed screw protruding from their coffee table. Thankfully the cut did not warrant a trip to emergency (which was closed anyway for the evening, we called). When reported to their front desk we were met with a shrug and a “Sorry, will tell maintenance”. Needless to say we will not return.

Mixed visit We had a few issues. 1. The temperature control was inoperable set at 70 degrees. We had to use the bathroom heater to heat the room and cover the ac which kicked in as soon as the temperature reached 70. 2. There was a light blinking on the ceiling (either a smoke detector or a occupancy detector.) It blinked 95 times per hour (I calculated) and really disrupted the sleep. 3. There were no windows that had a view outside. They were frosted. The room is very dark. Definitely no mountain view. 4. The water pressure was very, very low. 5. The noise from upstairs kept me up till 11.30 pm. Other than that the stay was comfortable. And I mean that without sarcasm. We mentioned the heating and blinking light problem to the front desk. Maintenance person could have come in a few hours. We chose to deal with the discomforts.

Terry and the staff are very welcoming. The rooms are clean and it’s very close to town.

Loved our room at the Strawberry Creek Inn. Clean, updated and enough space for two people.
