9/10 Wonderful! (1,007 reviews)
The staff is accommodating and friendly. There is nothing that could be done about the major construction project occurring in front of the hotel. The quality of the towels was good but the bedding needs an upgrade beginning with the mattresses. The hotel is conveniently located and within walking distance to a few restaurants and grocery stores.

Best at low tide, these meter diameter boulders are a sight to see. Dozens of them out there in the tide that get covered at high tide. The kids loved this beach and all the things to touch and climb on. Best part: free. An hour south of Mendocino, CA. #KidsFun

Located on the remote Northern California Coast at Point Arena, is the B. Bryan Preserve. They breed and present critically endangered African hoofed animals to maintain the species population. They are not a zoo and only give pre-reserved small tours with up close views of the animals. Lynn and I toured while we were in the area.
