The only place to stay near Mendocino! It’s enchanting and will elevate any vacation. While it’s truly a place to escape and very much geared for adults we had our two older daughters (14 and 11) and they were welcomed and treated like royalty while we were there. The food at the hotel is superb along with the staff. The staff is all local and they all had great recommendations, don’t snooze on everything they tell you to do and eat! We cannot wait to go back!
Staff was very helpful from the time we inquired about which room to book all the way through our stay. The evening wine hour / bento box time was lovely. We enjoyed talking to other guests in the common area and sitting by the fire. Our room was very comfortable and the grounds well kept. Highly recommend!
An incredible experience! Nestled in the woods with a fireplace at the core! Interesting food service: in bento boxes! So relaxing! I didn’t want to leave!
Truly underwhelming experience all around. We paid over $700 per night and were like 🤔 whaaaat? Our room was good enough I guess. Lower level, no view. All the rooms are attached to the main building so you don’t have any real solo space to come and go. Things are a little run down. The “chef inspired appetizer” we got our first night was a cold chicken Ceasar salad with dressing and croutons from a package.
No actual ocean views. We stayed at Heritage House last year and it’s 1,000 times better overall. Even with breakfast and the “wine hour” included, still not worth it. We won’t be back.
Our stay was very pleasant but not exceptional. The nightly appetizers were appreciated but I would rename them “small bites”. I would have appreciated knowing more about the wines we were poured other than red or white. The breakfast every morning was wonderful! I would have enjoyed coffee before 8 AM. Maybe a Keurig in the room? Overall my husband and I enjoyed our stay but I expected more for the amount of money we spent.

Liked: Staff & service
This room was not worth $600. Especially not during ‘low’ season. The room was very out dated, not updated, etc. I haven’t seen a bathroom like that in a hotel in a very long time.
We paid a steep price to stay at the hotel. Our visit included dinner and Breakfast. We felt like the representation of the “three course” meal for dinner was completely misleading. The portion size was more like an “appetizer” portion. My wife and I ended up going out and getting a meal in downtown Mendocino afterward. It would have been better if it was represented as so. The breakfast was great and felt fairly represented.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Our stay was a complete nightmare. The so-called “Pine Room” should never be rented out at the premium rate we paid. From 4:30–5:00 am, the noise from the reception and kitchen staff was so overwhelming that sleep was absolutely impossible. Imagine paying for a night in a hotel and being kept awake as if you were trying to rest in the middle of a busy train station.
Because of this sleepless night, our entire next day was ruined — we were exhausted, drained, and unable to enjoy our trip. What’s worse is that I contacted the hotel directly, expecting at least an apology or an attempt to resolve the issue. Instead, I was completely ignored. That silence spoke louder than the noise that kept us awake.
Charging premium prices for a room where sleep is impossible is already unacceptable — but to dismiss and ignore guests’ concerns afterwards is even worse. This was not just a disappointing experience, it felt like a complete disregard for basic hospitality.
God måltid på kvällen, räckte mer än väl trots att vi fått besked på att det var en ”snack”.
Fantastisk frukost. Ligger vackert, vi hade havsutsikt. Mycket lugnt och tyst sånär som vågorna mot stranden.
Receptionisten på kvällen, skrattretande pretentiös, den morgonen mycket trevlig och hjälpsam.
It is a beautiful property that exudes warmth. The staff are friendly and helpful. The Inn is smaller in size which adds to it’s uniqueness and sense of Intimacy. The breakfasts and wine hour meals were excellent.
Such lovely people run this property and the location is ideal with a beautiful view of the cove from the dining area and our room. Loved the breakfasts and the appetizers/dinner which was included in the price. Very reasonably priced too.
