The entire property smelled like skunk and it was very hot inside our room without a good way to cool down. Both these factors made it really difficult to sleep.

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.

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.

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.
