They advertise on Expedia as being able to provide stow-aways. That's why I booked and drove an hour up north to the location. It was my two kids, myself and my mother. The room had two Queen beds and I needed a sofa/stow-away, SOMETHING for my mother or I. I was met by an unkempt employee at check-in who even though polite could not care less and told me I couldn't get any extra bed due to "fire hazard". I did not receive one even though advertised as being available. But to add insult to injury the clerk was as uncaring as you can get and kept telling me the only option was to get a $1,000 executive suite. I asked repeatedly if there was anything available, a room with two King beds at least or something to sleep on. But NO!. So I ended up sleeping on the floor on a few pillows under me. You can imagine how well I slept and how bad I felt the next day. This at a 4 star resort! Any place with a sense of customer-service would do something to help a customer, let alone a place that charges $400 a night.

Spa facilities were lovely Service was superb, outstanding Room was spacious, really comfortable. Bedding, towels, , robes,slippers. Toiletries etc, We would definitely do this all over again. Walk to state park on beach Drive short distance to restaurant and shops Restaurant at hotel was good, convenient, but not as good as terrapin creek restaurant in Town.

Romantic Getaway
What a wonderful escape from the Bay Area! Such a perfect stay from check in to check out. Absolutely delicious food at Drakes, the pool and jacuzzi next to the firepits were perfect for sunset. The hike at Doran Beach is spectacular. We can't wait to stay again.

We really loved the lodge. The room was wonderful and very clean. I was very disappointed in the restaurant Drake’s. The service was slow with not many options on the menu. They definitely need another bartender at the bar on the weekends. The drinks were great but they took forever to get one. It was busy and that’s why they need to get some help for the one bartender that was working. I felt bad for all the people that bartender had to take care of.

We've stayed here a number of times since the late 1980s. Never disappoints. The room we had was recently remodeled. Nice. Finally a hotel that let's you stream your devices to the TV!

This is our third time celebrating our anniversary here. We love it so much that we will never to bring our kids here. Don't miss the wine and cheese and hibiscus tea that is complimentary between the hours of 3 and 5:00. They've even included yoga at 10:00 a.m.

Anniversary stay at the Bodega Bay Lodge.
Spent two nights celebrating our 55th anniversary in the upper portion of the hotel overlooking the bay. Room was fantastic, spacious and clean with a terrific view of the bay, Had breakfast both mornings and one dinner at the on site restaurant. Food was excellent and the staff outstanding. Would highly recommend the Bodega Bay Lodge. Looking forward for a future stay.
