A pleasant experience, location, hosts

The hosts were very friendly and helpful, eager to please. They gave great suggestions of where to go in town. The building is historical so revuew is taking this into consideration. Our room (south) really needed an extra table to be able to sit at or place our suitcase on. There was plenty of room for one The bed was incredibly comfortable. The location was close enough to town to walk but we drove due to rain. A nice place if you feel historical. Breakfast was decent, not over the top though

A very special inn

We LOVED our stay here and will definitely return. The flower gardens were amazing during our August stay. The chocolate chip cookies were yummy. The breakfast scones & gluten free banana bread were outstanding. They even were generous enough to share the recipes. Assistant Melissa was so helpful explaining details of how to make the scones. Innkeepers were especially warm, friendly and inviting.

Our stay in Mendocino was made even better by staying at the Joshua Grindel bed and breakfast. Breakfast was delicious! Scones, banana bread, homemade granola, and more. We ate our breakfast on the porch. The grounds are delightful, filled with flowers.

We stayed at the inn for 2 nights and everything was great. Lexi helped us with everything starting from check-in. She is a thorough professional with a warm personality and knowledge about the area. The property is at an easy walkable distance from the town and beach. The room we got was nice: Spacious, clean, and with a good bathroom. We loved our stay at Joshua Grindle Inn and we would definitely go back to lovely Mendocino and would staty at the same place.
