“Not impressive”
Had requested two queen beds when reservation was made. Second bed was a pull-out couch! Also, hotel staff were not helpful nor were they knowledgable regarding local hiking/walk options. Restaurant staff were friendly and seafood was good. Definitely a place meant for a less active, older clientele.
“nice place would go back”
nice rooms and a nice location if in the area again would stay there again
“Can't wait to go back!!”
Great hotel with amazing views! Very comfortable and clean. The spa is a must see of this hotel!
“RELAX & ENJOY EVERY MINUTE”
My wife and I wanted a couple of days to just to relax and get away from eveything. The Bodega Bay Lodge did not let us down. We really enjoyed the wine hour meeting other guests and just talking. The Duck Club was wonderful and the service was OVER THE TOP. The front desk personnel was wonderful, especially Lorraine who took her time and seemed so happy to share any of her personal experiences.
“A great weekend”
A great experience, all in all, but too pricey to make a habit of it.
“Great Great Hotel”
We have stayed at hotels all over the US, Europe, and Asia. This was one of the quietest, cleanest, best maintained, friendliest hotels we have ever stayed in. The Bodega Bay Lodge will be our first choice to stay at when we visit this portion of the coast in the future. I wholeheartedly recommend this hotel.
“North Coast Heaven”
What could be better in Summer than a cool ocean breeze, a bit of fog, privacy, a great water view, wildlife and excellent food? Our idea of "camping out."
“Pacific Sunset June 2011”
Decided to spend the last night of my recent California vacation at Bodega Bay Lodge. Wanted to see sunset on the Pacific. Very nice facility. Large rooms with fireplace. We had a King room. The section we were in, nearest the Bay, was recently remodeled and they were just getting over the construction "re-arrangement" of services, so word of mouth rather than the info in the room covered wine tastings, coffee etc alfresco. No big deal. We had gone kayaking up the road, so the deep, 2 person soaking tub was awesome to relax and refresh. On site heated pool, whirlpool, gym and spa. Separate shower was spacious but I prefer a massage shower head rather than the watering can variety. All furnishings were of excellent quality. A few oddities. A bar sink was roughed in but never installed. Cell service was non-existent although free WIFI comes with the room. The items on the mini bar were ridiculously over-priced. $24.00 for a split of cheap wine. $5.00 for bottled water. $8.00 for Jelly Beans. Did not utilize the on site restaurant. Went up Coastal Highway 12 miles to the "River's End Restaurant" in Jenner. Fantastic food, wine, ambiance and sunset over the Pacific at the mouth of the Russian River. Bodega Bay Lodge is romantic--back porch overlooking Bodega Bay with a table and a couple of chairs, comfortable and well appointed. A keeper.
“Excellent stay!”
Bodega Bay Lodge was all we expected amd more! The accomodations were excellent, food was superb and the service fantastic. Extremely clean and well-maintained, with wonderful views.
“VERY NICE BUT DIDN'T HAVE RESERVATION”
We recently stayed at Bodega Bay on our trip to San Francisco. The hotel was very nice and the room was roomy, nicely decorated with fireplace. However, the issue we had with hotel was that when we arrived they did not have record of our reservation. We showed them our printed confirmation. The desk receptionist kept repeating that it's okay as there were rooms available.. Ya, but what if there wasn't? Does that mean we wouldn't have a room?It was like she didn't believe we had a reservation.. And then when we called to ask about a wake up call, she told us that we must of made the reservation for August not April.. NOT! We again looked at the printed confirmation and it was April. It was as she kept wanting to blame us with the problem with the reservation. We had everything confirmed and printed out. We didn't appreciate her lack of professionalism, especially for the rates they charge.. For that reason I probably would not recommend this hotel..
