I had a memorable stay at the Mendocino Hotel that evoked a sense of nostalgia. The team was genuinely accommodating, and while the rooms were clean and charmingly rustic, there are some areas that could use updates. Unfortunately, I found the dining options quite limited due to the current circumstances. Nevertheless, the hotel's atmosphere and history made up for some shortcomings, making it a unique retreat in Mendocino.

I had a bit of a mixed experience at this hotel. The location is fantastic, right in the heart of Mendocino, making it easy to explore the area.

Overall, the experience was decent for a spontaneous visit, but I had higher expectations.

This hotel has a charming old-world feel, but it really needs some updates to match modern expectations. The staff was friendly and helpful during our stay, which made a big difference. However, the lack of amenities and uncomfortable dining experience left something to be desired, especially considering the price. Overall, it has its moments but might not be the best choice for everyone.
