The rooms were great, the pool was great AT NIGHT. during the day it was swarmed with bees. They had built a nest in the pools building and took us telling them about it for them to notice. Hopefully they get that figured out. If they do it would be a 5 star all around.

Lovely place to stay in Bodega Bay

From having our room ready for an early check in to check out, our stay was amazing. Our room was comfy, clean and spacious. We overlooked the pool and there were many windows for fresh air and the cool breeze. Parking was easy and I am excited that there will be EV chargers soon. There are many families who stay there so ask for a second floor room. We had little kids running up and down their floor late into the evening and early morning…not the hotel’s fault though. Also kids love to scream at the pool so don’t plan on too much quiet. Although when it was after hours and people were still in the pool and being very loud the security crew was quick to shut it down, which was awesome. Would I stay here again? Absolutely! The hotel l, the service and the room were 5 star. The loud families and people at the pool…just the how it is during a holiday weekend with beautiful weather.

Really lovely hotel, good location, excellent facilities just the rooms are a little tired, they could do with some updating at the price they are asking. It would also be nice to have no cell phone useage around the pool and hot tub, it was unpleasant having to listen to other guests facetime calls and music. It's so peaceful there, a great place to relax otherwise!

Nice rooms with an amazing view of Bodega Bay. It was a bit of a trek up and down a steep driveway without a sidewalk to get from our room to the street and back. But otherwise it was great. We ate across the street rather than in the hotel dining room, which is also where breakfast is served. We woke up to cows right outside our parking space which was a pleasant surprise. Would not recommend the property for those with mobility challenges, or if you do make sure to drive in and out.
