Antlers Inn

Antlers Inn

8/10 Good
"Great proximity to Lassen National Park! We were happy to find this place so close to the park. The town of Chester is very small so dining options are limited, but we found perfectly good places to eat for both dinner and breakfast. The hotel itself is clean and comfortable, and the staff were friendly and helpful. If you want to arrive near Lassen Park for morning access to the park, this hotel is perfectly located. It worked well for us."
