If you want to get away from routine for some peace and quiet, this is the place. Though an older Inn, the grounds and room were clean and well maintained, and the view from our balcony was beautiful. Point Arena is a small town, so it does have limited shops and dinning, more so during off-season.

The room was large. There was a refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker. Everything in the room was nice. The fireplace was the only heat as far as we could tell. It was nice but made some noise while operating. The room was quiet and had a beautiful ocean view.
