Inn at Occidental

Excellent

Still a nice place to stay but they have lost their true b & b feel. Bed is extremely comfortable but rooms bed some painting and upkeep

Funky little Inn, friendly staff. Beautiful courtyard, tasty breakfasts.

This place is beautiful, charming, and in a great location! Plus, it’s dog-friendly! If you’re a Gilmore Girls fan, you’ll definitely get a Stars Hollow vibe. The drive up to the inn was really cool with lots of tall trees that made you feel like you were in a forest. There is a quaint little main street with two convenience stores and a few restaurants, one of which was fantastic for breakfast! (Separate review for Howard’s Cafe.) We booked the Ivory room, and the rooms are reasonably priced. Our room was on the second floor and small but had some cute little armchairs in front of a fireplace and a wall A/C which was super useful for the warm or humid parts of the day. The view was of trees and the other parts of the property, so it felt private. The bathroom had a standing shower with pumps of body wash, shampoo, and conditioner on the shower wall. The place had old charm was but was clean and cozy. My only thing was that the bed was FIRM, which isn’t great for people with back issues. There also is only one mirror in the bathroom, so you’ll need to bring a smaller one for up-close face things. Otherwise, it was great! The inn is in the perfect location between the coast and wine country, so you can spend a few days and get the best of both worlds! Speaking of wine, the inn has wine tasting from 4pm to 7pm on the main level on a lovely outdoor patio, which we didn’t end up doing this trip, but will do next time. Highly recommended!

Uncomfortable bed/pillow, stairs, same breakfast both mornings

Hospitable and courteous staff

Wonderful, relaxing weekend in the wine country. Will be going back again for sure!

Big comfortable rooms, enjoyed wine tasting in the afternoon
