Very spacious and comfortable rooms. They were relatively clean, a couple of areas that needed attention but nothing to complain about. The hotel has beautiful outdoor areas. I ended up having to stay another night in Fort Bragg and wish I had booked here again. Definitely would recommend staying here.

Expedia messed up our reservation but the staff was so friendly and offered to go above & beyond their job description to help find a solution. The grounds are well kept and our room was wonderful. But Expedia failed, so always call the hotel to ensure they’ve received your reservation so you aren’t left scrambling to find somewhere to stay when the whole town is booked up!
