We stayed here with a group, and we booked almost the entire hotel. They do allow 1 night stays, unlike most hotels in Idyllwild. We will be back because of that. The Tahquitz is close to the center of town, yet far enough away that you feel that you aren't in the middle of everything. It was a nice stroll... more

I stayed in The Tahquitz Inn with my fiance and another couple. We got a great, last minute deal of $92 for a two bedroom suit (for four people). The positives of this hotel are the location, the price, the amenities (kitchen included utensils; fireplace; large beds), and the lack of pests. However, there is a negative side to this... more

Idyllwild is a beautiful little tourist town that doesn't exactly cater to tourists all that much. Everything, including motels, closes when the sun goes down. This is true any time of year. :-) But if you're there to climb the peaks, visit the Arts Academy (as we were) or get away from your high-power job in LA, you probably don't... more

Before booking a room at the Tahquitz Inn I read reviews on this site. I was surprised by the general exterior appearance when we drove up. It was not as well cared for as expected. We were told the spa was "under repair," but hadn't been informed of that when making our reservations. Our accomodations had a small living area,... more

Management response from

We are always disappointed to learn of a problem with one of our suites, and work immediately to correct any problems. In this case, the guest requested, and promptly received, a full refund. As this guest provided no details as to what they thought was "dirty" I cannot further elaborate on any corrective action that could have been taken. We...

My boyfriend and I stayed here and have no complaints. We liked the kitchen with pots, dishes, even dishwashing soap. It came in handy and brought food along to cook. Eating in town can be kinda expensive. But you can easily walk to the main street with shops, restaurants, etc. (they have a small candy shop with old fashioned hand... more

Loved it!

The people - the two Barbs and Bob - are extremely friendly and helpful. The "room" is almost an apartment: living room with cozy fireplace, fully-equipped kitchen, and comfy bedroom. You could easily move into one of the units and stay there for months in perfect comfort. The location is breathtakingly beautiful, and the village center is close at hand.... more

The Tahquitz Inn is just off Hwy 243, just around the corner from the village center and the Forestry station. Idyllwild is a small town/medium village. It survives mainly due to tourism. If you come to this lovely place expecting the Ritz/Carlton, you are wrong. Regarding quality of rooms...the Inn is about in the medium range. I rate it excellent... more

We read previous reviews and booked the Tahquitz Inn, which was rated highest for Idyllwild. The good news: the location is good- right on the outskirts of town. The two bedroom unit is large enough for a family of four. The base rate for the two bedroom is $120 and then a $10 surcharge for each person over 2 (you... more

Management response from
tahquitzinn, Bob Sargent, General Manager

The Tahquitz Inn bases it's rates on two persons and charges for each additional person over double occupancy, a policy clearly posted in all of our promotional material and on our website, because we feel it would be unfair to charge guests a rate to reflect the costs of additional persons in a suite if only two guests are staying...

The Truth is it was less than rustic at best. Manager even tried to charge us double. No housekeeping. Carpet was old and very dirty. more
