Hotels in Mendocino, CA

“This was such a great experience with my dog. The restaurant is delicious, the grounds are lovely. The rooms are super comfy and the donkeys are so sweet. But, the solarium with the pool, sauna, and hot tub is the absolute best part.

I like that they have cast on the TV so you can play directly from your phone.”

“Incredible little bed and breakfast in a great location (one block from the edge of the shopping area). Our cabin (Cove Cottage) was wonderful, our own little private cabin with ocean views, great little wood stove adding to the ambience, a short path to the beach, an few steps to the living ding areas of the main building. Breakfast served either to your room or in the dining room. Expected a basic continental breakfast, wonderfully surprised by delicious mini frittatas and delicious blueberry coffee cake, along with fresh juice and coffee, all decorated with flowers from the garden. Really can't say enough, the owner Eric is a friendly and helpful human, clearly cares deeply for his establishment and the comfort of his guests. We didn't want to leave - can't imagine staying anywhere else on our next visit”

“My wife and I stayed in the Amber Room for one night over the weekend. Check-in was quick, and the room had a balcony and was very clean.

Pros:
1. Clean room with a pleasant smell.
2. Great location , close to the city and main attractions, with the possibility of watching the sunset from the provided chairs.
3. Comfortable bed and pillows.
4. Very quiet ,no noise issues (despite what some other reviews mentioned).
5. An ice machine, tea, coffee, and oat cookies available 24 hours in a room beside the lobby.
6. The room had a jacuzzi (which I didn’t use), and the shower was clean with good water pressure.
7. Tea, coffee, microwave, and iron provided in the room.
8. Fireplace and heater in the room.
9. A supermarket called Harvest is just 2 minutes away by car, open until 10:00 PM , very convenient.
10. Good and decent breakfast with a beautiful ocean view , scrambled eggs, bagels, sourdough toast, coffee, tea, cream cheese, chia pudding, granola, etc. Breakfast starts at 8:00 AM and the staff were very nice and welcoming.
11. I personally recommend planning a visit to Russian Gulch (about 2 miles from the inn) — it’s breathtaking nature and a must-see.

Cons:
1. No cell phone coverage (which could be a plus for those who want to disconnect!), and weak Wi-Fi in some areas.
2. The room has no mesh screen, so you can’t leave the door open for fresh air; also, there is no A/C for warm days.
3. Curtains need an extra light layer behind the main dark curtain , this would allow natural light while keeping privacy.
4. A bit pricey, though understandable for the location.
5. Reception did not accept my request for a late checkout. Standard checkout is 11:00 AM, and I asked for 12:00 PM (which I think is reasonable, especially as check-in is at 3:00 PM). I left the room clean like my own home, only this experience affected my overall rating, from 5 to 4.

Overall:
I recommend this inn and would stay here again.”

“Such a relaxing stay! The room (Lookout) was spacious and offered a wonderful view of the coast. The bed was comfortable and we left the windows open to enjoy the sounds! The included breakfast and dinner was a plus as well. We'll definitely stay again.”

“What a lovely little inn! We had the cottage for four nights and loved it. It was so spacious and comfortable. The bed was divine and the fireplace worked great. Having breakfast delivered every morning was amazing! Such a nice touch and a great start to the day. Also, the wine and cheese house at the Blue Door is a must do for guests. We enjoyed popping in there for the daily cookies too! The staff was kind and welcoming.

Everything was perfect and we loved our time in Mendocino so much.”

“Everything was outstanding. From the bar tender, to the gracious and engaging server, to the wonderful meal which was well presented and delicious. They made it a special night.”

“The place is very quiet but beautiful and relaxing. Very nice service that also offered us games, coffee and water. And the rooms are also very comfortable and give off a sweet vibe :)”

“Great hotel in a great location!! This was my second time staying at this location and it didn't disappoint. We stayed in the Garden Suites which are between Ukiah St and Albion St which are behind the actual Medocino Hotel where you check in. They do offer coffee, hot chocolate and tea from 8am to 11am next to the check-in desk. Check-in was smooth as well as check-out. The bed was comfortable and the water pressure was great. The hotels grounds are beautiful with plenty of parking. I highly recommend this hotel and will definitely be coming back.”
