Had a fantastic experience with the Tallman Hotel. Room was probably the cleanest room I have ever stayed in. Very comfy, loved the furnishings. Stayed in an upper garden room overlooking the saloon next door. It was very nice to have our own veranda. It was quiet, maybe due to slow time of year but I would stay here anytime. Staff was very friendly and helpful. We ate at the Blue Wing and thought the food was good, not exceptional but wait staff was very polite and friendly. If we are ever back in this area we will most assuredly stay here and would recommend it highly.

This place is a total find. Inexpensive, utterly cushy. Great amenities, the likes of which you usually find at luxury resort hotels. All in a small town package. Keeping this review short due to time but I can state flat out that this is one of the best little hotels I've ever stayed in. Going back for sure!

One note of feedback for the owners: I know your pool maintenance fella is super confident that his 75-76 degree pool heat setting (up to 80 degrees after a day of sun) is warm enough, but it is not. We didn't tell him this, because he seemed so confident in his settings, but we couldn't brave the cold water on either day we were there, and the weather was even sunny and nice! The same seemed to be true for other guests who visited the pool deck as well. If you're going to advertise a heated pool, you need to heat it adequately.

The hot tub, however is wonderful! Nice and deep seats, so you're in up to your neck. Love it!

After reading all the positive reviews on TripAdvisor, my wife and I decided to try the Tallman Hotel. When we entered the suite, we were very pleased. However, that feeling did not last long. First, the wireless internet did not work in our room. Second, the phone to call the front desk did not work, Third, the heater took two hours to heat the room. The staff was very nice, however, they did not offer us any discount for our troubles. Actually, they charged us 0.50 cents per call for local calls that we were forced to make to get a dial-up signal. Also, there was a basket of goodies in the room but you had to pay for everything. In short, Upper Lake is a beautiful area, but next time we will have to find another place to stay.

We stayed in a lower garden room with our own private Japanese teak Ofuro soaking tub. The room itself was very nice, spacious and well appointed. I especially liked the Moulton Brown bath products. The aforementioned soaking tub was absolutely wonderful--the wood gives off a great natural scent and the water felt great. The service at the hotel was professional and friendly. The Blue Wingrestaurant/bar next door was great. My husband liked the tri-tip steak a lot. Upper Lake, CA seems to be an up & coming area. We'll most certainly return to check out the Lake County wineries and to stay at least a couple of nights at the Tallman.
