Hotels in Gualala, CA

“I adored my stay at Rendezvous Mendocino! Every aspect of the inn was decorated and run with thoughtfulness. I spent an evening journaling and reading in front of my own fireplace. Another highlight was sitting in the hot tub under the bull pines. Loved the biscuits and turmeric latte in the morning. Hope to come back with some girlfriends :)”

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Surf Inn in Gualala. The receptionist, Jade, is very kind and helpful. She gave us great recommendations for trails and parks in the area. The room was very clean and comfortable for us. The hotel is located in the center of Gualala so it’s easy to walk to nearby restaurants, stores, and even some trails (Gualala Bluff Trail). There is a great view of the ocean and a lagoon that is fed by the Gualala river. We saw a wide array of birds and seals in this area directly across from the hotel which was really cool! I am looking forward to returning here for future visits.”

“Ok this is gonna be long winded but informative. We were having a wing it weekend and found this place headed north on 1 after stopping by the Sea Ranch Lodge. ($600 a night) Decided the juice wasn't worth the squeeze and headed back on the road. Found St. Orres on Google and thought it had some charm to it and the pics of the cabins were quaint and on par with the rural area. This is not the Ritz nor should you expect that level booking this place. What you can expect is history, charm, forest vibes, interesting architecture, good food and a rustic cabin in the woods to recharge. Wifi isn't perfect but it works and we were the highest cabin on the hill. We had a lovely wood burning stove as well as a 2 person jetted tub along with a sauna built into the bathroom. No TV no other distractions and a balcony with two chairs facing the ocean to have our morning coffee. The main dining room has beautiful vaulted ceilings as well as living plants that drape from the walls. It is a site for sure. We talked with the owner multiple times and she is so pleasant and accomodating. The food is higher in price but not out of the ballpark when it comes to how remote they are, and the qualtiy they deliver. My wife and I found all the dishes we had to be really well prepared and executed. My wife had the scallops and I had the filet. Yes there is a lot of potato on the plate but there was plenty of meat and veggies to go around so you don't leave hungry. The desserts were on par with dinner. Very good and especially the ginger cake! They make a lot of it in house and they do a great job at it. That is the kind of food I want to eat. The grounds are a little spread out but definately walkable. You have views of the ocean with some redwoods that may stand in your way but very beautiful. We paid $365 per night and which I found to be a deal considering you get privacy, sauna, 2 person jetted tub and views. There are cheaper options with smaller cabins as well. Lots of other places up and down the coast are far more expensive for less. But if you want the fastest internet and butlers, seek another place to stay. If you don't mind starting your own fire and enjoying the redwoods with the ocean in view, snuggled up in a cabin all to yourself, then this is the spot. I highly recommend this place. I found it to be a great value for what you get. We will definately return.”

“This was the most perfect and quaint hotel!! The rooms were immaculate and the service was so friendly and kind! Things were quiet and so well kept! The rooms were incredibly spacious and clean. The hotel is in the best location right in the middle of town!Nearby activities: Close to grocery stores, shopping and the prettiest coastal views!”

“3/2024 only stayed one night. The view was excellent, big room downstairs, looking straight out to the ocean. Has fireplace, jet tub, shower. The customer service was great. We drove from Sacramento, the lady called beforehand to help us check in, super patient in explaining different room types for our preference. One minus is the room's floor was a bit sticky. Hope they will mop the floor more often. Everything else was good. Recommended.”
