Susanville sits in the northeastern part of California near Lassen National Forest, and the Super 8 here makes a practical base if you’re exploring that area with your dog. The motel itself is straightforward—nothing fancy, but clean rooms and the kind of reliable setup you’d expect from the chain. You get free WiFi, which is useful for planning hikes, and a free light breakfast in the morning along with coffee, tea, and juice.

The real draw is what’s nearby. Lassen National Forest is right there, with miles of trails ranging from easy walks to serious day hikes. Before you head out, you can grab that breakfast and map out your route. Roops Fort, built back in 1854, sits in the area too if you want a quick historical stop. The Lassen Historical Museum gives you some context about the region’s past on days when the weather isn’t cooperating for outdoor time.

If you’ve got energy to burn, there’s biking, fishing, hunting, and horseback riding all accessible from here. Honeylake Motocross Park is in the vicinity if anyone in your group is into that. For something quieter, the Susanville Symphony Society hosts ensemble performances if you want an evening activity.

The motel has an outdoor pool to cool off in after a hot day, and they offer free parking for buses, trucks, and RVs with outside outlets—helpful if you’re traveling with a larger rig. One thing to note: the hotel’s pet policy and any associated fees can vary, so you’ll want to contact them directly before booking to confirm what their current rules are and what you might owe for bringing your dog along.
