Guest Reviews
- MEIFEN (10/5): - I liked the ocean The mosquitoes
- Torsha (9/5): -
- Lauren (9/5): -
- Alicia (9/5): Great stay with beautiful views - Beautiful views, good size accommodations and good restaurant on site
- Adrienne (10/5): If you can stay here, stay here! - THE VIEW...THE VIEW..THE VIEW! The view was killer, patio was relaxing, 2 person spa tub was magnificent and the garden?....chef's kiss. It was 5-10 minutes from Mendocino and Ft. Bragg, beaches, the Skunk train, Noyo Harbor. I couldn't have picked a better hotel. I will def. be back. And let's not forget about the free wine tasting I was comp'd..... I honestly can't think of 1 thing I didn't like. Oh, my fireplace wasn't working, but the staff comped me for that, and the room didn't have a TV, but with that view, I really didn't care.
- Jenya (8/5): Peaceful, relaxing, and on my “will return” list! - The view, the size of the room, the quietness! The walls are pretty thin. Not a problem, just an fyi for future guests.
- Zohar (10/5): Hidden gem. A must visit. - Ocean views. Insight restaurant has excellent food nd drinks. The grounds are well kempt. Room was clean. Open concept bathroom. Balcony was cozy Some features need to be updated, or at least refinished.
- Richard (9/5): Excellent location on the top of the cliff with a great view of the ocean. - Beautifully situated on the top of a cliff overlooking the ocean. Wonderful view from each room. Located a close (10 min. drive) from Mendocino. Convenient parking in front of each unit. Well maintained, nicely decorated rooms, each has a rear deck overlooking the ocean. Lounge chairs and firepit located behind the restaurant with a\ great view of the sunset. Very friendly and helpful staff. Adequately sized room, we had the “Bay “room conveniently located next to the restaurant, very comfortable queen size bed with four comfortable pillows. Gas stove fireplace, refrigerator, desk, two lounge chairs, closet, dresser and luggage rack. Nicely decorated, very clean, moderately sized bathroom, shampoo and conditioner. Dinner at the restaurant, Terr Mar, was excellent. The food was delicious, prepared by a chef and not a cook, properly cooked and well presented. The restaurant is nicely decorated with a cozy atmosphere. The view from the restaurant overlooking the ocean is fantastic, especially at sunset if you get a window table. Shower was on the small size. Not adequate for larger people or people with disabilities.
- Adam (9/5): -
- Michael (10/5): - View
- Heidy (10/5): -
- KUMAR (3/5): It was okay - The backyard view and decent sized room. I didnt like the area. Very dark at night. Has a creepy vibe
- Dennis (10/5): - They have done a great job since taking over from Albion Inn. We love the fact we could relax and unplug. The staff was top notch and dinner was great we never left the property the whole weekend. Small detail would have liked to of had a morning paper and a microwave but that's it.Ertj

- Xia (10/5): -
- Donna (10/5): It was a very relaxing weekend! - It was in a beautiful location. We loved listening to the ocean waves! Unfortunately our fireplace was not working and needed a part that had to be ordered but staff made sure to put us in another unit with a working fireplace.
- Nitin Kaushik (10/5): - Best ocean view from a room. I have stayed in multiple ocean view rooms and this one takes the prize...!!!!
- Harold (10/5): - Outstanding property, would stay again.
- Whitney (10/5): - We had the best stay. View from the room is incredible and everything was comfy and clean. Staff were great and dinner and breakfast at the restaurant was perfect
- Kathy (10/5): - The view off our deck of the ocean was incredible!
- Vincent (10/5): - no WiFi starlink not working.
- Pauline (9/5): Some deep cleaning and maintenance is what this place deserves - The breakfast was magnificent. The view was outstanding, with flowers close to the building that attracted hummingbirds. The waiter was just lovely and very efficient We stayed one week later and were housed in a different cabin. This cabin was dirty, with large carpet stains. I complained to the host, but she did not provide us any compensation even though she agreed with us.
- Michael (10/5): - We LOVED our time in the Mendocino area and this lodge made it perfect. Thank you to the entire staff for making our first time in Northern California a great experience. The restaurant’s menu and staff were outstanding, and the wine flights were abundant. We’ll be back!
- Emily (10/5): - Ocean view
- Aida (8/5): - A bit outdated, but beautiful views.
- Jim (10/5): - Very quaint and relaxing. Extraordinary view! Tight parking.
- xueyan (10/5): - Would be nicer if there is a throw available for nighttime use and skipping returning keys to reception for online checkout.
- Guhui (10/5): - Great stay
- Uladzislau (10/5): It was great! - It was wonderful! Great location, beautiful view, easy room upgrade, friendly staff. Highly recommended!
- Pamela (10/5): - spectacular, private view room 4. Accomodating staff, waiter. QUIET! FYI No TV. Parking in front of unit. Very Private! Not a fan of the restaurant menu but would return.
- John (10/5): - Wonderful get away!
- junshan (10/5): -
- Susan (10/5): Our favorite place on the Mendocino Coast - Upon check in we were informed our room had been upgraded. We received a lovely room and enjoyed the view from our deck.
- STEVE (10/5): - Great views
- Charles (10/5): - It was great having a good restaurant.
- Jeffery (10/5): - Beautiful room views Bathrooms need updating
- jeff (4/5): Pay for view - Great view. Clean room No cell service, terrible WiFi , no tv, no fan in bathroom, heater didn’t work in bathroom, wonky fireplace as only heating source. all of that for $300+ a night!
- AKLIL (2/5): - Constant noise from next door. Banding on the floor and walls. Couldn’t get a good night sleep.
- Christine (10/5): - This property was amazing! I have never slept so well and the views are life changing!
- Gloria (10/5): - Restaurant was fabulous and a nice surprise!
- William (10/5): -
- Michael (6/5): - Bedroom floor was dirty. Bed was too high. Bed was too firm. Bed made a lot of noise while moving around.
- Julie (8/5): - The view from the property was nice, but a little further than I anticipated. Balcony and room is outdated. The bed was hard and uncomfortable. The room didn’t have a tv and wifi was not the greatest. Also no microwave on the premises. A little too expensive
- Robert (10/5): - Loved it all.
- yu (2/5): - Very terrible！
- Dorena (10/5): - Incredible views from the room. The room was private and very cozy. Terrific, friendly staff.
- Teri (10/5): - It was a beautiful location and quiet. The room was comfortable. The bathroom smelled like urine and they need to pay more attention to that.
- Krystel (6/5): Beautiful View, Rooms Need Work! - The location is stunning. It makes you forget everything else. Waking up to that view overlooking the ocean is worth it. Beautiful surroundings, close to a small market and Mendocino. We stayed in room 1, the bay room. The AC was broken, and the room was quite old and worn out. The showerhead was rusty and had very low water pressure. The Wi-Fi was really weak, and without data, it made you feel very disconnected (which can be good, but it was unexpected).
- MARYKAY (10/5): - Loved the rocking recliners, I loved Natures TV, husband had a minor meltdown with no TV but the internet is available and close to the Redwoods.
- Rong (10/5): -
- Ric (10/5): - Stunning views and very quiet. We had an enjoyable time.
- Magnuson (3/5): Overpriced dated facility with insane view - The view and breakfast/breakfast staff were great. Maintenance was super kind and helpful. Staff tried to assist but the dinner was very bad and the facilities are very old so things are falling apart and don't work. Facilities are very old for the price per night. It says Mendocino but its in Albion about a 15 minute drive from Mendocino. I love when things are quaint but the tub didn't work and dripped all night because it was super dated and old and the fireplace didn't work either.
- Kamran (6/5): - Too expensive for the type of room
- Steven (8/5): - very simple bed and room but could be tter
- Dragan (10/5): - Ocean view!!!
- Dylan (9/5): Superb -
- Wen (4/5): - The place is cute but way too expensive for that
- Victoria (6/5): - The location of this hotel is truly its biggest asset—perched on the coast with absolutely breathtaking views. Unfortunately, despite booking an "Ocean View Room," our view was mostly obstructed by a large tree, which was a letdown given our expectations. The room itself was clean but could definitely benefit from some upgrades. The carpets felt dated and would be better replaced with vinyl or another modern flooring option. The room often felt stuffy and warm, and since the front-facing windows didn’t open, we had to leave the door ajar just to get some air circulation. Small touches like functional windows would make a big difference. Also worth noting: the toilet seat in our bathroom had a large crack down the middle, which really should have been addressed before guest arrival. On a more positive note, the restaurant has an incredible view and a solid drink menu. The food was decent, though we felt the quality of steak and overall seasoning could be improved to match the elevated setting. Overall, we were okay with our stay—there’s a lot of potential here. With a few thoughtful upgrades and attention to detail, this lodge could really shine.
- Melinda (10/5): We had a fabulous time! Which is why we coming back!! - Stunning views! Love the privacy and soaking tub and fireplace!
- falconf (4/5): Dangerous bed for seniors under 5'10" - We were in Mendocino for a wedding 3 miles east of Albion. We reserved a room two weeks in advance. We showed up and went to our assigned room and it was fine EXCEPT the bed was over 38" tall. I am 82, my wife is 78. They provided one step stool which was really a safety hazard. Getting up was a task, but coming back down was actually dangerous. We asked to switch rooms immediately but there was 3 weddings in the area and so it was impossible. If you are under 6 feet tall this is a big task. The restaurant was fine.
- Monica (6/5): - Appreciated the management replacing bottle of wine discarded by custodial staff. Beautiful scenery. Upkeep of property could be improved upon.
- Sambda (8/5): Great view, but still not value for money - Loved the location and the view. Restaurant had amazing food. The noise of traffic was terrible!! It's very close to the highway. Also, cost is too high for the value.
- JEREMY (10/5): - Beautiful
- Tsikhiseli (10/5): Exceptional -
- Adrian (10/5): Exceptional - everything It’s a shame the resturant is closed most of the week we would would definitely have had dinner there
- Robert (10/5): Exceptional -
- Joan (10/5): - Lovely views from every room. Very clean and spacious room. Comfortable bed. Extra points for a bathtub! My only complaint is the pillows are way too high.
- Erin (10/5): Beautiful views and great restaurant - The room has a wonderful view of the Albion River mouth. We stayed in an upstairs room which doesn't have an outdoor balcony or deck. They offered us a downstairs unit when we checked in but we declined and we are glad we did. We enjoyed sitting in front of the big picture window with our coffee in the morning, watching the ospreys diving for fish. There was a nice gas fireplace to keep us warm in the chilly mornings.
- Timothy (10/5): - Beautiful views.
- Sareena (10/5): - Really beautiful view! The restaurant was super delicious, and the service there was awesome. Definitely recommend for a weekend away!
- Stephen (8/5): Come for the view - We were in cabin 20. This cabin is pretty run down and dated. The real low point for me was the stained, gross bathroom flooring and the badly in need of being replaced bathroom sinks. Toilet ran on day 2 and it wasn’t worth calling for it to be fixed, it just needed tweaking. All bathroom fixtures and contents need fixing or replacement. Everything is just old and needs to be modernized. The hole in the wall above the bed and generally old and worn thrift store furniture and pictures don’t help the vibe. We were comfortable enough but new towels (ones that don’t tear while toweling off) and comfy bedding are needed. Nothing was soft. No extra blankets provided or basic toiletries. Coffee and tea in room was fine. One spoon for 2 people not enough for tea and coffee preparation. Luggage racks or a bench at the foot of the bed would be helpful. No really good place designated to put luggage. The stars of this show is the lovely staff, wonderful restaurant and the views. Rooms are nothing to write home about.
- bjenjoy (10/5): Mendocino Coast Lodge ... a special place in a magical setting - We had a wonderful stay at Mendocino Coast Inn. Our room was very nice and we had spectacular views. We were treated incredibly well. From the GM, front desk, Food & Beverage Mgr, bartender, server and all others that we had contact with, service was top-notch ... kind, courteous, friendly, and attentive. Just the right balance of attention and solitude. The restaurant, Terra Mar Kitchen was excellent. Classic and adventurous cocktails, delicious food served in a distinctive style. Thank you so much Nickie, Tony, Jen, Marisa and all.
- Barb (10/5): - Absolutely stunning. Right on ocean
- M (8/5): Very good -
- Doretta (10/5): - Beautiful, clean, quiet and gorgeous views! The room was great with an amazing view and fireplace and breakfast at the restaurant was delicious. I will recommend this lovely spot to friends and hope to travel back in the future!
- Janet (10/5): - the setting for this property is beautiful, with ocean/river views. The rooms are all very private with views. great location!
- Andrew (10/5): Exceptional -
- Paul (10/5): Wow!! - Amazing cliff top lodging with views to die for. We were in 14 and 15 down near the restaurant and bar. Spacious rooms with sliding doors into a decked area with the view. Easy check in and instructions. Wood burner (which we didn’t use) which would be amazing in cooler conditions. Amazing sunset and we had a clear night sky which was spectacular. Well situated for Mendocino and around. Didn’t eat in the restaurant but did have happy hour drinks on the lawn to drink in the views. Our terraces and chairs had seen better days and need some attention - but nit picking here. If you want a wow factor on the north Cali coast - this is it.
- Gayathri (10/5): Lovely time at SCP Mendocino Coast Lodge - Loved the location, privacy of the rooms and the amazing views. The restaurant at the lodge was awesome too! We had both dinner and breakfast at the restaurant and thoroughly enjoyed it! Highly recommend this along with the stay Nothing to dislike!
- Richard (10/5): - Beautiful view of where the Albion River enters the ocean. Nice well appointed cottages and a very welcoming staff. A great spot if you aren’t in to the B&B options of Mendocino proper and a mere 7 miles south.
- slateb2025 (10/5): Beautiful Property, Amazing Staff - This place was amazing. The property was beautiful but the staff really made the difference. People I talked to on the phone, the front desk, a landscaper and the cleaning staff. Literally every person we talked to was so nice. My only regret is that we only stayed one night. This will be a destination next time and not just a one night stop
- Bernadette (8/5): - We stayed a night in cabin 4 which looked to be recently updated. Heated bathroom floor was a delight. The gas fireplace was great for warmth, but made clicking sounds in the night as the thermostat kicked on and off. The views were incredible. The staff were friendly. The grounds were pristine
- slate (10/5): - Staff was great!
- Jennifer (10/5): - Magical. Would definitely stay here again!
- Michelle (8/5): Relaxing refuge - Amazing location! So peaceful and quiet!! Check in and check out was easy. Moderately priced for area. The state parks nearby are incredible! This was a nice spot not far from Mendocino headlands and Vandamme hikes.
- GEOrge (10/5): - Not beach front. But just amazing views from the deck outside our room. Wonderful anniversary stay. Watching sunset, listing to waves and some whale activity
- Al (10/5): - The stay here was for celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary. Our room was clean and comfortable. It had a romantic beautiful ocean view and a cozy fireplace. The restaurant was a short walk. It also had a beautiful view of the ocean to enjoy while we dined. The food was excellent and the staff was friendly and accommodating. A memorable stay. We would definitely return.
- Danielle (10/5): - Absolutely amazing experience. The best hotel I've ever been to. It was quiet, clean, and offered beautiful views of the ocean. I will definitely return. Props to the front desk as well, who were kind and easy to talk to. Offer d suggestions for dining. And experiences.
- Sherry (10/5): Exceptional -
- david (10/5): - Beautiful just stunning!
- Lawrence (10/5): Exceptional - no breakfast, location very good
