Lovely place to stay
Great place to stay. Clean and tidy and the bed was very comfortable. Staff at reception were very helpful and informative. Howard Station is directly across the road and do a fantastic breakfast. Overall, Occidental is a lovely little village, off the beaten track.

Adorable motel with super friendly staff
Very charming spot in an equally charming little town. Don't plan on sleeping in if you're on the first floor- housekeeping starts around 7 AM and it's impossible not to be woken up by it.

Great find!
Very friendly and helpful staff. The walls are relatively thin so you can definitely hear what’s going on in the next room, but it wasn’t a problem for us. The pool area is quite lovely sunny clean and relaxing. You can’t beat the location either.

Very pleasant place to stay
This is a very nice hotel in the peaceful little town of Occidental.
It is spacious, clean, with the usual amenities like microwave, fridge etc. Our room was newly renovated. It had a large table with two chairs overlooking the grounds, pool and the surrounding area of big trees, through a large window.
The bed was very comfortable and the room was pleasant.
The town is small but it has some shops and eateries all within walking distance.
I would recommend this place.

Older place, but clean. The town had few options when it came to food, clerk said most places are closed on Monday and Tuesday. Slept good, bed was comfortable.

We had a restful stay at Occidental Lodge. Staff was very kind and welcoming upon arrival. Room was clean and beds were very comfortable, photos are an accurate representation. We'd recommend getting a room on the second floor as we had one on the lower floor and could hear the footsteps of the guests above us.

Room was nice and clean. Beautiful area. Conveniently located walking distance from restaurants, shops, etc.
Only issue we had was very noisy neighbors with kids screaming and door slamming in the morning, starting at 6:30 am!

Cute little property and well maintained. Room was clean. The front desk staff was very nice. We got in late so nothing was open in town to grab dinner but he recommended a place about 10minutes away that was excellent. Would stay here again.

The staff was so friendly and gave us an upgrade before we arrived! The bed was comfortable, the room was clean and the location was great. The cafe across the street was also excellent. Would definitely stay here again.
