Location is very convenient, parking easy, spacious rooms, although quite outdated. Front desk availability is limited, amenities also limited

DownHill House Do NOT let them put you in Room #122... It is under the stairs & in front of the Ice machine. Noisy,noisy,noisy. The rooms are dated & everything is stained &/or sticky. It seems like management just doesn't care. Staff was pleasant & attentive, but if the owners don't care the hotel is going to go down hill!

Good location-needs a remake. No customer service at all.

nice big room

Unique old inn. We loved its location in Mendocino.

This is our second time here. Very clean, right next to town and super nice folks.

Loved the view from our room! Also the location of the hotel!

The location was great however many aspects of the place could use refreshing or updating. Being a vintage environment does not mean that it should be run down or lacking amenities.

Ocean view is VERY deceiving, there is a tiny sliver you can see through the trees. Rooms also do not have fireplaces as listed. Rooms are clean, beds are comfortable. The building is quaint and cute, but rooms are very outdated. Staff admitted we were booked for an oceanview room, which we didn't get. They moved us the the ocean view room which was minimal and the room itself was a downgrade. You definitely don't get what you pay for. Save money and stay up the road in Fort Bragg. Rooms have true ocean views and are cheaper.

Beautiful gardens. High potential, but needs remodeling. Beds were comfy. Breakfast has very limited options, especially if you have a nut allergy. Couldn't go out on our patio because the door was covered in webs. Appeared to be some black mold in the ceiling/wall around the shower, but the tub was clean. Charming place. Could be amazing with a little updating.

Clean and well decorated room with a great patio. The main building is beautiful and we enjoyed a good continental breakfast there.

This was a cute building a short walk to town. The drawbacks were that my room smelled of mildew, the Internet went out, and the front desk is not available at night (although there is a sign for an emergency number.) It was also noisy, I was awakened at 5:30 am by someone revving their truck in the parking lot outside my window. If you are a deep sleeper looking for a place to stay as you travel this might work, but if you are looking for a good rest, this wasn't the most comfortable.

Beautiful setting and gardens, very comfortable and spacious room.

Get the garden view! Beautiful lobby, loved the old time mansion feel

The hotel is in a quiet area, not very modern, no restaurant in the hotel. The gardens are very pretty

Thanks for the review Shanna. Each guest has personal needs that we do try and accommodate. We are undergoing a renovation and looking forward to the new design. Come back after the renovation and things will look fresh and new again. I believe the plans still have the ice machine in the same location but a new one will be more quite for the guests.
