Mendocino Hotel & Garden

Great view from the balcony. Has a lot of character. Restaurant is closed. No elevator if you’re in need of one. They are remodeling in September. Will stay again after remodeling is completed. Great little town. Beach within walking distance. Overall a great experience.

Liked.

Just a place to lay our heads.

Nice hotel to stay to enjoy Mendocino and its zrea

We booked this hotel for our wedding anniversary celebration. We were disappointed. This hotel is tired and has seen better days. I heard it was being shut down in September 2024 for renovations - I hope they implode it and rebuild it. Because other than the view, the room was old and uncomfortable with a fully rusted door and nails popping-up on the splintering balcony. The staff that I saw were relatively nice and friendly. There is a coffee bar, but that’s it, and it’s closed strictly at 10am; I would’ve thought I would get more for what I paid. Alas, they are charging 4 star prices for a 1 star experience.

I hesitate to give a bad review to a long-time Mendocino property, but the price for this room was NOT warranted by the conditions of the room. The decor was horribly outdated--think a 1970's version of "Victorian". This means plum pink wallpaper, red and orange striped drapes and a red and pink flowered carpet! Beyond that, the room and entry way was not clean nor in good condition. The window seat outside my entry had a dirty cushion and torn curtains. The armchair had something milky white spilled down the side and not cleaned up. The bathroom sink had a long hair in it. The elderly sofa had sunken cushions. The TV had 4 channels, no cable. I will say that my bed linens were clean (thankfully or I would not have stayed!) as were the towels and the mattress was comfortable. You will have to do a major hop and scramble to get up on the high bed, and I am tall, so it would be nice to add a little stair step to mount the bed. I might not complain as much, but this room was REALLY expensive. Really expensive for what we got. No breakfast included. The location is good for walking around town, but in future, I will be looking for one of the cabins just outside town, or a small house rental, as the price won't be any higher and I know they will be cleaner and more comfortable. Mendocino Hotel, I hope that you can make some upgrades to bring the property up to more modern standards and stay relevant to modern visitors.

Mattresses are very uncomfortable.

The hotel is located in a great place, the staff is friendly and garden is lovely. The hotel is a bit run down, there was no heat and the hot water was hard to obtain in the shower because of a safety valve.

Location

We stayed three nights in one of the garden suite rooms. Thoroughly enjoyed our time here. Looking forward to seeing the results when the historic main hotel building is renovated/rejuvenated. Would stay here again.
