The short version
What visitors say about Topaz Lodge
Topaz Lodge sits on US 395 above Topaz Lake near the California line, and most of its reviews come from people staying the night. Guests mention lake views from their rooms and from the bar, and the lodge works as a stopover for fishing trips, motorcycle rides and families, with gas, a store, a restaurant and the casino in one place. Some rooms were clean and pleasant.
Many stays went badly. Reviewers describe worn rooms where the air conditioning or heat didn't work, portable units brought in as a fix and dirty bathrooms. One guest arrived at midnight to find the linens hadn't been changed. Several say the final bill came in well above the rate they were quoted. The food draws more criticism than praise: dishes that taste frozen, slow cafe service and a disappointing steakhouse. Staffing is thin, and the front desk doesn't always answer.

I love this wierd place. We often stop here on fishing or motorcycle trips. The hvac make a low buzzing noise when it's off which my wife can't stand, but I sleep through it.
I was told that the rooms were going to be $130 a night but I was charged $180 a night. the beds were possibly the worst I've ever slept on. the restaurant's food is horrible as well.. other than that the bar has a great atmosphere and it overlooks the lake which is pretty cool.
