We had a wonderful stay. The room was stunning to stay in. The view of the bay was beautiful. We had a patio that we could sit and watch the sun set. Large windows to see the bay. Coffee maker, refrigerator, free continental breakfast ( granola, muffin, croissant, and fruit) and coffee. Room was super clean. Plus they had restaurant on site and across the street. Also room service. Very quite.

My family and I truly enjoyed our stay. The room was clean and spacious and the Maids were pleasant. The pool was clean and well kept. We dined at the Tides Restaurant and that was a fun experience. Great food and great service. Staff was always friendly. The only downfall for us was the night we arrived. We got in late, and we couldn’t find a restaurant to eat at because all the eateries in Bodega Bay closed at 8p/8:30p. And the restaurant at the hotel is reservation ONLY and they weren’t taking anymore reservations for the night :(

Beautiful property and always a pleasure to stay here. The room we were assigned was not accessible as the lock on the door would not give us access even after maintenance staff attempted it with the master key. The staff immediately remedied the situation. We were upgraded at no charge to a suite and taken care of.

Comfortable, Spacious Room

Tyler at the front desk was very courteous, professional and gave excellent customer service. He assisted with modifying our room with no cancellation fee. We booked the king room with fireplace. It was comfortable and spacious. The only downside was that there were dead bugs in the shower but nothing that we couldn’t just wash down the drain. Love the large hot tub that opens until 11pm. Also loved the complimentary continental breakfast or voucher for 25% off a meal.

Beautiful view of Bodega Bay. Property looked like they had done some renovations. But our room was not completely done. Look like they had painted the walls and miss cutting into the corners. Kind of cheesy.

The rooms were great, the pool was great AT NIGHT. during the day it was swarmed with bees. They had built a nest in the pools building and took us telling them about it for them to notice. Hopefully they get that figured out. If they do it would be a 5 star all around.

Lovely place to stay in Bodega Bay

From having our room ready for an early check in to check out, our stay was amazing. Our room was comfy, clean and spacious. We overlooked the pool and there were many windows for fresh air and the cool breeze. Parking was easy and I am excited that there will be EV chargers soon. There are many families who stay there so ask for a second floor room. We had little kids running up and down their floor late into the evening and early morning…not the hotel’s fault though. Also kids love to scream at the pool so don’t plan on too much quiet. Although when it was after hours and people were still in the pool and being very loud the security crew was quick to shut it down, which was awesome. Would I stay here again? Absolutely! The hotel l, the service and the room were 5 star. The loud families and people at the pool…just the how it is during a holiday weekend with beautiful weather.
