In November we're taking a trip from San Luis Obispo, CA to Portland, OR.

We want to stop and check out the Avenue of The Giants and plan on stopping somewhere in the area for the evening.

Does anyone have any great and/or horrible stories about local lodging?

I always like to find some odd little place that isn't a chain, but that also won't cost us a small fortune.

At the moment based on online reviews (+ price) we'll probably stay at the Rodeway Inn in Eureka.

But if someone knows of some nice cabins or an old motel with a little character please let me know.

Thanks !

Steve
