Safety & Security

Traveler Safety

Do not admit anyone into your room without first verifying his or her identity. All doors are provided with peep holes. If you are unsure of someone claiming to be a hotel employee, call the Front Desk for verification before allowing entry.
Hotel staff members will never call your room and ask for credit card numbers or other sensitive information. Please notify the Front Desk if you receive such a call.
Do not leave cash or other valuables in your room or vehicle.
Always use all locking devices on the door. Before leaving your room, double check that windows and door are all securely locked.
Keep your room key with you at all times. Do not leave it unattended in your room or elsewhere.

Fire Safety (2nd Floor)

Upon checking in, locate the 2 nearest exits and the nearest fire alarm. Count the number of doors between them and your room, so that you can find your way in the event of smoke or darkness.
If you hear an alarm or smell smoke, act immediately; don’t just investigate.
To report a fire, dial 9, wait for a dial tone, then dial 911. Be sure to give your room number. Next, call the Front Desk by dialing 0. Then go to the door. If it is hot, do not open it. Turn off the fan or air conditioner. Cover the crack at the bottom of the door with wet towels, fill your bathtub with water, and signal from your window. Do not break the window or jump from it. Cover your mouth and nose with a folded wet towel. Wait to be rescued.
If the door is not hot, and there is no dense smoke in the corridor, take your key, lock the door behind you and head for the nearest exit. Pull nearest fire alarm if possible. If there is some smoke, crawl; the freshest air is near the floor. Proceed quickly but calmly. Do not panic.

Fire Safety (1st Floor)

If you hear an alarm or smell smoke, act immediately; don’t just investigate.
To report a fire, dial 9, wait for a dial tone, then dial 911. Be sure to give your room number. Next, call the Front Desk by dialing 0.
Leave your room. Proceed quickly but calmly. Do not panic.

Earthquake Safety

If you feel any shaking:

Drop, cover and hold on: drop down to the floor as soon as you perceive an earthquake has started; drop down before the earthquake drops you down. Then seek shelter under a desk or table. Crouch down on your knees so that you can move with the table. Hold on to the table leg(s) so you can keep the table over you.
If there is no nearby desk or table, sit on the floor against an inside wall, away from windows, tall furniture or bookcases. Draw up your knees, bend your head toward your knees. Protect your head and neck with your arms.
Go outside once the shaking stops. Make sure you are wearing sturdy shoes before leaving the building. If possible take valuables and medications. Avoid touching downed power lines. If access to exit doors is blocked by earthquake damage, wait for a rescue team.

Tsunami Safety

If you are at the beach or near the ocean and you feel the ground shake or see rapidly rising or falling coastal water levels, move immediately to higher ground and stay there until local authorities say it is safe to return. DO NOT wait for a warning to be announced. If the tsunami is caused by a remote earthquake or volcanic eruption, you will be alerted by a siren, radio or television broadcasts, local first responders and/or an alarm at the hotel.

Often the first wave may not be the largest. The danger from a tsunami can last up to 12 hours after the arrival of the first wave. Tsunamis move faster than a person can run, and can be 30 feet high or higher; sometimes much higher. Never stay near shore to watch a tsunami come in.

History

Where the Redwoods Meet the Sea!

Lucile Wyllie in front of curly redwood log in 1952

The Curly Redwood Lodge began as an idea by Tom Wyllie, who owned the Redwood Room in Klamath, California. He thought it would be possible to build a lodge out of one redwood tree. He particularly liked curly redwood, and found a tree near the Klamath River with enough usable wood. The tree was 18′ 2″ at the butt cut and curly to the tip of every branch. It was so huge it had to be cut into 5 logs and quartered. The logs were then loaded over their own stump by smoothing the stump with a chain saw, cutting one side just the height of a truck bed, and three logs were put on the opposite side of the stump so the quartered logs could be pushed onto the truck bed with a caterpillar.

57,000 board feet of lumber came from that single tree when it was cut down in 1952 and brought to Crescent City. Many mills sawed, air-dried and cut the redwood into various different shapes for paneling, posts and doors. All the wood was cut into solid pieces; not one piece of veneer was made or used for redwood. There is enough curly redwood lumber left to build more units in the future.

The Curly Redwood Lodge opened in 1957 and the wood to this day is displayed inside and outside of the building. The building is in a horseshoe shape with covered parking for all rooms. Maintenance and preservation of the wood has been a consistent job to keep it at its pristine state especially since so much of the wood is exposed to the ocean elements on the exterior of the building. We take pride in consistently refurbishing the rooms keeping them to the same spacious and comfortable standard that they were when the lodge first opened.

The Curly Redwood Lodge is like a “blast from the past,” favored by many who remember traveling with their parents and staying in large comfortable rooms with a homelike atmosphere. The lodge is what has now become a unique experience. These clean, comfortable lodgings are Northern California’s most unique redwood accommodations, and an enjoyable alternative to the chain motels.
