Was great- spectacular views even in the lower floor room. There was no decaf coffee in the room but that is only a minor complaint. This place is wonderful.

Pick this place!

We could not have enjoyed the view from our room more. View was stunning and a seagull came daily to perch on the rail to stare at us, lol. Quiet, convenient to Mendocino and surrounding parks. Staff was pleasant and accommodating.
