By Donna Westfall – June 28, 2017 – On the corner of US Highway 101 South and Front Street, the old Gardenia Motel has been revitalized. Motel 6 is scheduled to open this week. Supervisor 1st District, Roger Gitlin, says, "It is always exciting to welcome something new and fresh into the community. It has been a long two years enduring the dilapidated Gardenia Motel and the opening of this inviting property. Del Norte County's newest lodging awaits a Certificate of Occupancy from the City and plans to be open for business in time for the busy July 4th week and all summer-long." Motel 6 is a beautiful 49 room, pet-friendly property. You can reach management and make reservations at ( 707) 460-1700.
