There was no upfront explanation of the pet fee even though booked the room with the traveling with pet filter set. The fee was another $50. The room was not maintained very well for a $250 per night room.

We stayed in two rooms. The first room had a water leak from the ceiling, so we were moved another room.
The property is older and needs some attention in some areas. But overall, we still enjoyed our stay.

I liked the western era charm. The central location in the town of Mendocino, the quiet atmosphere, the parking and the views(25 A) made our stay enjoyable.
I did not like that the restaurant was not in operation, that cold water faucet in the shower did function properly, the deck had creaky flooring and the entire outside building required maintenance. Such a shame the exterior is allowed to deteriorate.
Pros: Spectacular location and view from the front porch. Cool old building.
Cons: Terrible condition, creaky windows and shower door, no (NONE) room cleaning over three nights, skunk infestation under the building. It feels like nobody cares.
At Motel 6 rates I’d be fine. At the price we paid ($223/night plus tax) it’s a complete ripoff regardless of location and holiday weekend.
I don’t mind paying $500 a night for vintage but not for dilapidated. The hotel is in bad shape. I hear it’s being renovated starting October but it should be closed until then. Paid for an ocean view and shared deck. Maybe if the windows were washed and the bird crap cleanup on the deck it would have helped. The roof shingles are falling off and will eventually hit someone in the head. It was warm and we could not get the windows to stay up. There was something sharp on the mattress frame and my husband cut his foot on it. This place is in bad shape. Wait until it’s renovated before you stay here.
The location was amazing. But our room smelled like mold. We woke up in the middle of the night coughing, even our dog was having breathing issues. Also, when we arrived in the early morning the lady who checked us in was very incompetence.

The hotel claims to be 3 stars!! Costs $170!! And the room has no toilet or bathroom!!! How is that even possible??? When asked, “show us the room,” a very rude woman replied, “no, either take it or leave!” I definitely do not recommend staying in such a place! For $130 you can book a hotel two miles away with full amenities and excellent service! Which is exactly what we did!
Property had a poor condition and there was only one staff sitting in the reception area. Furnitures were really old and smelly. Not recommended anyone to book this hotel. I heard from local business owners that recently there was a change in ownership and the new company will remodel the hotel.
Old hotel in smalll town Mendocino, was suitable for the night. Please note this hotel has many rooms with no bathroom, you go down the hall to shared bathrooms. This was fine for me for one night but may not suit all travelers.
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.
