Mendo Bungalow

Mendo Bungalow

10/10 Excellent
"The bungalow was accurate to the pictures listed. It was pretty clean but there were a couple random hairs on the inside of the bed when I rolled the sheets back. The highlight is the front desk experience. Both upon checkin and checking out. Steller customer service and kindness. Would absolutely recommend to couples if you’re coming in town for a weekend stay."
