It was a showery January Sunday evening when we arrived in Upper Lake, to find a double rainbow arched over the town and our accomodations, the Tallman Inn.

You don't want to pass the Tallman up for a romantic off season weekend away. We took them up on the Lover's package with the geyser tub, Room 11. First, you find your bed covered with silk rose peddles (and some real rose peddles in the gift basket), Lady of the Lake champagne chilled, chocolate truffles and lot's of privacy. All for a meager $200 for the nite. We will remember this forever.

The Tallman is tucked in Upper Lake, Clear Lake, and has been renovated with class and style. It's location is in the main town but with nice private accomodations. The Blue Wing restaurant loacated in the complex serves really good food to. The morning continental breakfast is served in a quant dinning room located in the main lobby. I picked up the breakfast and we dined in our room.

I have stayed in many BnBs and small hotels and the Tallman is one of the best values and class acts I have experienced.

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.
