Paradise Inn

Nasty, Dirty, Bed Bugs, broken A/​C… What else could you ask for?
Cobwebs, dust and trash behind end table… Obviously they are not big into cleaning.
My kids and I all had bed bug bites.
Mattresses were hard as rocks.
No convenient place to plug in phone charger.
Pool was decent.
Indian guy running the place, maybe the owner, was nice, others have posted he’s an A$$ hole.
Overall, worth about $ 39 and slightly better than sleeping on dirt. We paid $ 85.
It’s a shame, this place could be a very cute boutique motel with some money and effort.

Pros
There was a pool but it was not heated
AC but it only worked for a while
Meh
the guy working there was a nice old Indian man but
He looked creepy and smelled like curri
The lighting was pretty crappy
CRAP
I’m pretty sure the beds had bed bugs
Beds where really not comfortable.
Overall review

I am very upset with myself for staying here again in spite of the nasty owner! The price was right so that swayed me to try again. I came in late on a weekday and there was a vacancy sign on, one car parked at a room and the nasty man roaming in front. He saw me and my dog (they allow dogs for an extra fee), came over to my window and said «no vacancies go away» !!! It took a second to get over the shock. The whole thing frightened me. I still get sick thinking of it.

I’m not sure how we ended up here, but it worked out nicely on our cross country move.
High points:
Clean enough (definitely could stand to be a bit cleaner)
Friendly enough guy who runs it. Though he seemed like he was also kind of a douche, just not to me.
Dog friendly — $ 10 fee
Food nearby
Meh point:
AC! Buuut it’s in a closet. So all the cold air stays in there. We brought a camping fan with us, which helped nicely. But, it happened to be super hot when we were there, so this kind of sucked.
HORRIBLE POINT:
Google Maps totally screwed us on this one. It had us drive down some dirt road where there wasn’t room for 2 cars — that is NOT where this place is. I had to make a 72 point turn in order to go back the other way and out to the main road.
The cost for the room was about $ 85 with tax, so not cheap, but not spendy. We’re moving across the country with our dog, so this place fit our needs pretty well.

I’ve stayed in some crappy hotels… At first it’s cute, quaint, simple but when I woke up after the first night not only was my back & neck killing me from the terrible old mattress, I had two painful & itchy bug or spider bites. One on my finger & one right on my chin. I will be posting photos on Unilocal.Come to find out, we happened to look under our bed & there were old pretzels everywhere! No wonder our room was filled with bugs! I know they also allow pets, so one way or another, they are not cleaning the rooms well at all after each guest.

If I could give less than one star, I would. We were told immediately and repeatedly that we would be charged $ 300 if we smoked in the room. Even though we insisted that neither my wife nor I smoked. When we did see the room, we asked if we could have two towels, we were then screamed at, «Look there is a towel for you and a towel for him.»
Not thinking anything of it, we went on with our transaction, but he was just getting started with insulting us. Honestly, I have never been treated so rude in my life and being an Army Combat Medic Veteran, that says a lot since I’ve been all over North America, and even Drill Sergeants weren’t as nasty as this guy.
After being told five times, if we smoked, we’d be charged $ 300, Jay said he was the manager, then attempts to charge my credit card for $ 300, for a one night stay which should have been only $ 77with tax included. When we asked about this practice, he explained angrily, if we broke something, he would need to be able to charge us for it. He was charging us in anticipation of breaking something and or smoking in the room, even though we insisted we didn’t smoke.
At every step, the excuse to charges us for more than a one night stay, were mounting higher and higher, and the amount was going to be $ 300 for «something,» and we hadn’t even signed a paper nor took our bags out the car.
After we insisted that neither of us smoked and at 45 years old, and grandparents, neither my wife nor I were there to destroy anything, but were treated like we had already broken everything and violated his smoking rule, and we were going to be charged regardless.
And after a 12 hour drive from Seattle, and confirming the room in advance, we were then told, «I don’t want to deal with you, get out!» And all because we didn’t believe it was fair for us to have to pay $ 300 for a $ 77 room we were only going to use to sleep in. We were literally left in the dark at night, and trying to find another place to stay. It’s a very shady business practice, and Jay is very rude person and not professional on any level.

Another couple and us went to Paradise, CA, for a visit to Lassen Volcanic National Park and a reunion with some friends. We searched for motels that were decent and inexpensive. Paradise Inn met those requirements.
The motel doesn’t have a free breakfast. So what? The price was $ 30 a night less than other friends going to our reunion got. I figure that for $ 30 we can get our own breakfast and still save money.
Paradise Inn’s free Wi-​Fi was much better than any other motel I’ve stayed it. It was fast.
The pool is unheated but on a 90+ degrees day it felt great once you got use to the coolness.
There isn’t a restaurant next to the motel but down the street about a couple of blocks is a great diner called Annie’s. There are several other restaurants nearby. Several of them offered a 10% discount just by showing your room key.
Next time I’m in Paradise we will stay at the Paradise Inn.

The Owner was friendly to us, he let us stay in our room past check out time.
My son had to stay at this hotel with his huge family for three days or so. He had to rent 2 rooms while waiting for his house to become available. The only problem I saw was the owner had a sign up in his lobby that said, «Pets welcomed». My son’s elderly in– laws had to cage up their cat (which the cat was really old) and keep it in their car because cats were not welcomed. The owner would not allow the cat out at all not to walk around or to even stay in the cage in the room. Thank God it was not really hot out. I found that attitude extremely sad.
The pool and BBQ picnic area was really nice. The room was ok however, in the morning the sun came right through the blinds and woke us up early. No way to filter it out with hanging the bedspread over the window.

The guy working here seems like a a$$ but if you are friendly to him he will be friendly to you. The room was musky when we first entered & everything is outdated. However the room was very clean. Theres a nice BBQ picnic area & the pool was nice too. The parking lot was very safe. Its in a nice quiet area.
I would stay here again.

The hotel looked decent from the outside but inside was not as nice. Upon entering the room, it’s age showed but as long as it’s clean it’s okay. Upon further inspection, the room furniture is quite old and very worn out, again this doesn’t not bother me but I just want to lay out an accurate picture. The room we stayed in had the A/​C unit all the way in the back of the room inside the closet so cooling the room took pretty much all night. While the mattress seemed to be in okay condition, the mattress box spring had an ugly stain (looked like wine). The room was «clean» though having a few stray hairs on the counters. Under the bed though, had so much dust I was worried about mites and any other creature that may be lurking down there. Overall this motel wasn’t quite the worst I have stayed in but It definitely was just barely above my threshold limit. I would not return and can not recommend it to others. spent the extra money and go somewhere else and have peace of mind when you wake. I will post a pic of under the bed.

PARTY FOUL… I felt a racist vibe from this East Indian Owner of the Paradise Inn… I’am a african american light skinned, I was travelling with my band, wife & my 3 little dogs. whom we have a crate for. 1 of which is a service dog. He was very rude, didnt know what I needed, talking over me… WOULDNT TAKE CASH!!! because I needed a deposit… Well he had my card info but didnt want to take it… I cussed him out and left.
While I went on my way I figured In India he must be of the LOWER CLASS because he was BLACK… and rude to me… Ok
Meanwhile a european american came in had dogs… no question of his dogs paper work etc… what a shame we have to deal with this.

Stayed in room 125. Very friendly night staff. The room was very clean. The king bed was extremely comfortable and the pullout bed was not bad either. The best part was the beautiful glow-​in-​the-​dark galaxy painted on the ceiling!

Needed a hotel at the last minute and everything in Chico was booked. If you’re in the same boat, Paradise is an easy 20 minute drive up the road from Chico (through a pretty canyon!) and has a good collection of restaurants and services.
The Inn is an older property that’s been remodeled in interesting ways. A lot of the finishes are worn, but it was fairly clean and comfortable. Nothing fancy, but adequate.
Gas wall heater in the room works great, toasty warm. It also has an AC unit, but didn’t need to try that.
Blue-​tinged florescent lighting, amplified by the light blue glossy wall paint. Old school tube TV. Fridge, microwave, and coffee maker.
The building makes «settling» noises. Probably don’t worry about that, it’s probably not going to collapse.
I could hear complete conversations from the room next door… the walls are very thin, or maybe they talked very loudly. You might need earplugs. You can hear the occasional car go by.

It was a place to sleep for a very reasonable price. Inside the room was quiet, but unfortunately too much road noise. Ear plugs would be recommended. Room was somewhat clean, except for cobwebs and a little black mold in the shower that you didn’t see unless you dropped the soap. Easily missed by the cleaning service.
Folks were friendly during check in/​out.
Giving 2 stars due to the road noise and mold.

Marginal at best. Relatively clean, but sheet and towel replacement is way overdue (as in buy new linens). If you just need a place to get horizontal, it is ok. I didn’t like the lock arrangement on the door. Made me feel less secure because it was so beat up and jerry-​rigged. I will probably not stay there again and opt for a few dollars more to stay in a cleaner and more modern hotel.

This is a nice place. Clean comfortable rooms, and a VERY nice brand new bed. It’s about in line with discount motels, and you won’t be disappointed if our stay was any indication. We stayed two nights, Fri and Sat, it was quiet and restful. $ 55 per nite seemed like a good price. Thanks Paradise Inn!

Great for checking out Chico if you don’t know anyone in town to stay with. Only 20 or so minutes from Chico, this is a quaint little joint with nice management, clean spacious rooms and recently renovated bathrooms

Older property but well maintained, clean and fresh. The owners are delightful people and are devoted to providing the best service at the best price possible.
We made a mistake of checking into another motel nearby, but quickly realized that the Paradise was the motel we had used previously. Will NOT make the same mistake again.
This place is a «keeper» and is highly recommended.

We have a blended family and need a room that sleeps 6. This one is great. Plenty of room, nice pool, CLEAN and quiet. Good value for the price. Free Wi-​Fi and comes with fridge and microwave.
We have stayed twice already and will be back again.
Oh and we got 10% off at Black Bear Diner because we stayed at Paradise Inn.

I give this place 4 stars compared to other motels… not all lodging options.
For $ 60, the room was pretty huge (2 beds plus couch), clean and pleasant. However we had a visitor… a well-​fed kitty meowed outside of our door for about a half an hour before he gave up on the idea of us giving him food.
