Older property, we were in a garden view room - no view of garden. Windows were dirty, drapes falling apart. Not enough plugins in the room.
King size bed was comfortable with good pillows. Shower was nice too.

The historical value of property was great. We loved being right down in middle of village. We thought the hotel seemed tired. Our suite could have used a new coat of paint and curtains repaired

Jamie at the front desk is wonderful! We love this hotel- and have stayed here many times! It is so beautiful. The antiques, woodwork and rooms are amazing. The location is perfect- right in the center of the Main Street looking out at the ocean. One of our favorite places anywhere!!

It's a lovely historic hotel in a beautiful setting in the small town of Mendocino. Unfortunately, the restaurant and bar on the property have been closed since the COVID pandemic. There are several options in town though.
