Hotels in Trinidad, CA

“The lost whale inn is incredible! The views, rooms, breakfasts, everything is great! My husband and I did a trip here with my parents and it was such a special trip because of this B&B. All the staff is super welcoming and accommodating. If you’re looking for a great place to stay this is it!”

“We spent 3 nights in this wonderful cute cabin. It's perfectly located to visit redwood national park. The bed and pillows are very comfortable. The cabin itself cozy and cute. We used the little kitchenette every morning to make a good cup of coffee and breakfast. Trinidad has some beautiful spots to watch the sunset. There's a little grocery store in town that has everything you need.”

“Our stay at Turtle Rocks Oceanfront Inn was wonderful. The views of the ocean are incredible. From the bed, we could see waves crashing on rocks near the shore. The sound of the waves was magical. We could hear sea lions singing in the morning if the door was open.

We loved the room. There are all the amenities we needed, and I was especially impressed with the bed - very high quality mattress that was clearly new and had solid support under the pillow top, with wonderfully soft high-end sheets. The sound insulation was also excellent - I was not surprised to learn that there are double-walls explaining this.

The innkeeper, Roger, was so friendly and helpful. He made a lovely breakfast every morning and told us about all the local attractions that fit our interests - hiking and dining in our case - giving us tips on how to get the most out of the places we visited. There is a paper itinerary in every room as well, which tells about all the local attractions and tailors them to how much time a visitor has in the area.

There are other details we loved as well. The garden was beautiful. There are nice treats and coffee and tea in the common area every afternoon. The community refrigerator has plenty of room and is stocked with nonalcoholic beverages. There are powerful binoculars in the common room for looking out at the ocean. There are nice magazines, books, and local maps there as well. The assistant who gave us the initial tour was very nice and helpful. Security is good - they ask us to lock the front door to the inn whenever coming or going. The housekeeper also does good work, and I was happy to find out from conversation with Roger that she is paid a good living wage.

While I went here for a romantic getaway, and it was perfect for that, as a mother I also noticed how it would be good for families with children - I noticed details like there being hot chocolate with marshmallows available at tea time, or again the double walls between rooms that allow kids to be their playful selves.

We can’t wait to return to Turtle Rocks Oceanfront Inn again. <3”

“You cannot beat this stunning view. Tyler was friendly and attentive- responding quickly to questions and requests. The breakfasts were delicious. Thanks for a lovely time.”

“Found this little gem of a place while passing through this area heading home back to Canada. The whole space has such a great vibe and the people who own this motel were genuine and caring. The friendly dog Coconut welcomed us upon arrival and the chickens that roam the area were a delight to see...being animal lovers ourselves. The bed was comfy and everything was very clean. At the end of our stay the very sweet owner shared some perfect advice.... "drive slowly and breath deeply"...thank you for that!!Nearby activities: Beaches nearby.Safety: Quiet street and small size of the motel limits the amount of people who stay there.”

“We had an amazing stay at the Trinidad Inn. We had a family gathering where we booked several rooms, and our family really felt welcomed and cared for during our stay. The room was nicely updated, we loved having the kitchen and dining area. The common areas, including the fire pits and basketball hoop were perfect for kids and adults alike. And the croquet set was enjoyed, too. We had a great time!”
