2-Star Hotels in Idyllwild

Great location, within walking distance to downtown area with lots of restaurants and cute shops. We picked The Lodge with loft set up, space is definitely a little bit tight but it’s cozy for a cabin. Firewood can be purchased from the local store. Wi-Fi is a little unstable at times. Overall, it’s a great place. Side note: given that the elevation is 6,000+ ft, you may get a little light headed.

Idyllwild Inn was a great place to stay during a little nostalgia getaway to Idyllwild after a 35-year absence. A few changes in town and at the Inn but it is a nice as ever (we used to have a cabin in town in the 70s and early 80s). the Inn is in a great location right in the middle of town close to everything and has been there for over 100 years. There is a mixture of the old original cabins with additional cabins and rooms added over time. Terry at the front desk was very welcoming at check in, a wealth of knowledge and fun to compare notes with from our previous times in town. “Some new things, a lot the same, still the quaint Idyllwild town.” We were in one of the newer theme rooms, Ponderosa, right behind the office, it was large, comfortable, very clean with a king sized bed, electric stove, patio, small refrigerator and microwave. We look forward to a return visit.

We had a great birthday weekend getaway! Pro’s: House was updated and had plenty of towels and amenities. There was a nice large private patio with tables and chairs. Three rooms (2 bunk, 1 queen, 1 king) were plenty big for our group of 6 (3 adults, 3 teens). The pool was refreshing and pool towels were provided. Food delivery to the pool was quick and delicious. My kids had a blast in the rec room playing pool and other games. It was in the high 80’s low 90’s while we were there and we were SOO grateful for the air conditioning-which is not an easy thing to find in mountain community lodging! The not-so-pro’s: While the pool was refreshing and nice, the addition of a jacuzzi would have provided more of the resort feeling. The house was clean and spacious, but is in desperate need of a second bathroom or even half bath. There were 6 of us staying plus an additional 2 family members who came to visit. An en-suite in the primary would have been more useful than a massive walk-in closet. It’s loud! A few area rugs and art to absorb some of the echo would benefit the space. A few of the doors stuck pretty bad opening and closing them even while trying to be careful was impossible. All in all we would definitely stay here again. Just know you are a bit far from the town center but I think the trade off is worth it!

If you love wood cabins, this is your spot. It’s a kitschy time warp back to the 50s or 60s, which I like. It’s also by the side of the main road in and out of town which is both convenient and a little noisy at times but bearable. It gets cold at night and so has heaters in the room and which take some figuring out but once they get going do the job (one was sufficient although we like it cool – it got to 9C in April). I thought the second bed would be a bit larger as I think it said two full beds but it was in fact a full and a double. The back view is onto a wooded ravine and stream with a nice little deck. There’s a tiny kitchen area and table as well. The bathroom is smallish but not as small as some I’ve had in Europe, so if you’re European, you’ll find it fine. I picked up a couple of beer bottles out back which were spoiling the view. Breakfast consisted of a donut (deep-fried) or large cookie, apple, box juice and maybe oatmeal packets – packed in a charming basket left on your door. The coffee maker worked well, as others have noted (an absolute essential). Staff were friendly too. All in all, a nice place but keep in mind there are also over 300 private rentals in Idyllwild apparently.

So I’m going to give them a 5 out of 5, but let me explain. My wife went to Idylwild to escape and enjoy nature. Before checking my wife and I went on a long hike and we were exhausted. We were given the room and coffee to get in prior to checkin. We got to the room and it was not yet cleaned, I was beside myself. I called the number that I was texted the information and Angel answered right away. I told him that our room wasn’t yet cleaned and he apologized profusely and said he’d be there in 2 minutes. He was there in 2 minutes and said he would personally clean the room and it would be ready in 20 minutes. It was an honest mix up and they didn’t have the room on the list for that day. I don’t believe it happens often or ever before. Angel cleaned our room and brought us a 6 pack of beer because we were exhausted, hot, and just wanted a beer. I think he gave it to us from his own stash! We finally got into our room, nice and clean, the room and the hotel were very charming! We’re thinking of hosting our Grandmothers 100 Birthday there! Great place, great service, friendly staff! Definitely coming back!
