We loved our stay at the Pink Lady Mansion. The staff was so knowledgeable, giving us a history lesson of the property and the Carson Mansion across the street. The property itself was being painted outside at the time, but the inside was fantastic. We stayed in the Turret Room and were in heaven. The bed was extremely comfortable, the bathrooms were wonderful with a variety of shampoos, conditioners and lotions to choose from. There was a kitchen and small refrigerator to store our leftovers. Our stay was a perfect, peaceful ending to our crazy 2-week trip. Highly recommend!! Thank you SO much!! We will definitely be back. 💕

From the outside this property looked awful, run down with peeling paint, trash everywhere, the bin overflowing, junked cars parked, some appearing not to be drivable. It was not at all a place I would choose. The pictures on the website presented a very different picture. Fortunately the office staff told us they were full and our reservation had been transferred to the Super 8 in Fortuna which was very nice and we appreciated being there.
