After booking my room, and apparently not reading the details close enough, I come to discover that the English rooms are a bit different than normal. They have a shared bathroom in the hallway, meaning anyone who has an English room will be using the same toilet and shower in the hall. A very fun little surprise! There are multiple bathrooms, and even on a busy night, there was not once that the bathroom was occupied when I had to use it. They were also very clean and I felt very safe and comfortable using the shared bathroom, even though I was unsure at first. And yes, it is a private bathroom, very similar to one you’d have in your own home. The rooms were small, with no tv or any amenities other than a sink and small closet, but for a night or two that’s all you really need. However the door to the room that we had did not lock. There are plenty of restaurants, bars, and novelty stores within walking distance from the hotel, however I wish that there was a convenience store of some sort, because the closest one is a 20 minute drive. Other than that, it was lovely and such a fun & unique experience for such a great price, with a beautiful view outlooking the ocean. You definitely should try this place!!

Excellent location with easy access to beach, Headlands State Park coastal bluff trail and the vibrant downtown shops, restaurants and bars. But the hotel itself needs attention. Our garden suite was large and had a newly-renovated bathroom, but the bathroom counter was cracked and we had an ant problem. The bed was comfortable but stark - a sheeted mattress over exposed box springs. Our antique light fixture had burned out lights and the room smelled a little musty. No breakfast option (the hotel restaurant and bar look amazing but closed for Covid and have not reopened). The hotel charges a premium rate and we had hoped for more. We will not return.

Older property, we were in a garden view room - no view of garden. Windows were dirty, drapes falling apart. Not enough plugins in the room. King size bed was comfortable with good pillows. Shower was nice too.

The historical value of property was great. We loved being right down in middle of village. We thought the hotel seemed tired. Our suite could have used a new coat of paint and curtains repaired

Jamie at the front desk is wonderful! We love this hotel- and have stayed here many times! It is so beautiful. The antiques, woodwork and rooms are amazing. The location is perfect- right in the center of the Main Street looking out at the ocean. One of our favorite places anywhere!!

It's a lovely historic hotel in a beautiful setting in the small town of Mendocino. Unfortunately, the restaurant and bar on the property have been closed since the COVID pandemic. There are several options in town though.
