Not what I was expecting

Walked in the main lobby and it smelled like weed and an old musty brothel. Our room didn’t have a bathroom and had to share with guest on same floor. I was unaware of this when booking and probably would not have chosen this location. Also, the mattress was very uncomfortable. On a positive note, The view from the upstairs porch was lovely and had dinner at a fabulous Italian restaurant down the street.

We stayed overnight in one of the ocean view units with a private bath. It was a cute and clean room. We loved the view. The hotel needs some repair and renovation, but it’s charming and very convenient to everything. Parking was easy. Mendocino is a pretty, peaceful, fun little town. Hope to come back in the next year or so.

Large room, with fireplace. Closing for renovations under new ownership. Clean, newer bathroom. Large closet, Close parking. Lobby smelled or marijuana every time (3) I was there. No bar or restaurant on site, but close by options were good, varied, and numerous. I will return after renovations are complete.,

The view was outstanding. There are walking paths near the water. Our desk assistant recommended a great place to eat. The hotel is from 1878 and has all that charm. The lobby and bar (which is closed) has beautiful woodwork. The property is under new owners and they are planning a renovation. I hope they maintain the look and feel of an old inn.

The Mendocino Hotel used to be outstanding. Great restaurant, quant rooms. Restaurant and bar are closed now. Lobby was dark and uninviting.. We waited 10 minutes for a staff person to check us in. The room was shabby-holes in the wall, frayed lampshade. Flimsy blanket. It needs a major facelist. Don't go. At $240 a night it was a total rip-off.

Property is an old Victorian era hotel. It is very good condition for it's age but it is in need of some TLC. As I understand it, the place will be closed soon for an extensive renovation. I surely hope that the Victorian charm and furnishings (as well as the stained glass on display throughout) are to return post reno. The staff was very accommodating and gave excellent service as well as suggestions for dining.

the place definitely has character and is unique - you really feel like you are in a historic building - the rooms are clean, location is perfect - they didnt modernize it all up so it feels very real which i think is cool and price is reasonable

I really like the European style rooms. It was nice to have the bay view room too while the Mendocino music fest was happening. I probably wouldn’t have enjoyed my stay as much if I wasn’t facing the water, so thanks for that. Would come back.

A touch of elegant history

We had an amazing historical suite. The bathroom was huge. The main bed was huge but the tall height of the mattress made it almost impossible to get in and out of bed. The room was really only set up well for two people. We had three with only one light blanket for each of the two bedding areas. Mendocino is chilly so sleeping was a cold experience. There were also only two towels. They probably would have given us more towels and blankets but we were too tired to realize it would become a problem. The hotel itself is amazing for history buffs. It is beautiful and makes you want to learn more about history of the region. Then there is also the big swing on the second floor deck overlooking the bluffs and ocean. We really loved it in spite of the sparse linens. My granddaughter basked in the huge tub.

all about the location

The Mendocino Hotel is located on Main St in Mendocino, though the big old building is closed (as are all the restaurants and anything but the front desk). Very light on services (keurig coffee in rooms and lobby, couldn't find more than one key for our room) but the rooms are comfortable and the location great. Can walk along the coast and down to a beach. Parking available for the rooms separate from the main building--about a block away. Good price, especially given the location.
