stinky pillow but nice room

One of the pillows smelled like deodorant. Since there were several other pillows to use, I moved the stinky one to the corner of the room. The refrigerator would make a knocking noise every 10 minutes or so. It sounded like someone was gently knocking on my door. I git used to it.

We had a wonderful stay. The room was stunning to stay in. The view of the bay was beautiful. We had a patio that we could sit and watch the sun set. Large windows to see the bay. Coffee maker, refrigerator, free continental breakfast ( granola, muffin, croissant, and fruit) and coffee. Room was super clean. Plus they had restaurant on site and across the street. Also room service. Very quite.

My family and I truly enjoyed our stay. The room was clean and spacious and the Maids were pleasant. The pool was clean and well kept. We dined at the Tides Restaurant and that was a fun experience. Great food and great service. Staff was always friendly. The only downfall for us was the night we arrived. We got in late, and we couldn’t find a restaurant to eat at because all the eateries in Bodega Bay closed at 8p/8:30p. And the restaurant at the hotel is reservation ONLY and they weren’t taking anymore reservations for the night :(

Beautiful property and always a pleasure to stay here. The room we were assigned was not accessible as the lock on the door would not give us access even after maintenance staff attempted it with the master key. The staff immediately remedied the situation. We were upgraded at no charge to a suite and taken care of.

Comfortable, Spacious Room

Tyler at the front desk was very courteous, professional and gave excellent customer service. He assisted with modifying our room with no cancellation fee. We booked the king room with fireplace. It was comfortable and spacious. The only downside was that there were dead bugs in the shower but nothing that we couldn’t just wash down the drain. Love the large hot tub that opens until 11pm. Also loved the complimentary continental breakfast or voucher for 25% off a meal.

Beautiful view of Bodega Bay. Property looked like they had done some renovations. But our room was not completely done. Look like they had painted the walls and miss cutting into the corners. Kind of cheesy.
