    When I chose the room I was under the impression that the second bed was not a sofa bed. Also, if the sofa bed was longer and more comfortable it would have been fine, but it sagged, was too short and very squeaky when my daughter turned.

    Everything was beautiful and clean. We enjoyed the great location and the gardens. Also, the breakfast pastries were great from Goodlife Cafe. Last, our queen bed was comfortable.

    We stayed in Sears Tower. The layout is strange because of how it was arranged. Bed by the kitchen. Kitchen is very bare bones but it worked for us.

    Very well located in the village. Quiet, except we could hear the entertainment from next door. One night it was a pleasure though. One bed was very comfy, the one by the kitchen, not so much.

    Apple cottage, the stove is NOT leveled, and they used generic burner trays that don't fit so cooking eggs and most everything is a pain. Easy fix, but......

    Great location, clean and comfortable.

    The room was very dated and the town was depressing. It seems like a sad place to live. The staff made a huge deal about free muffins which weren't that impressive.

    The bed was super comfy and the coffee in the room was yummy.

    Don't expect super-modern luxury, it's not that kind of place. Accessing the spa by going out the front of the house, round the side and down the back, in a robe and in the drizzle, was - well, an adventure I suppose.

    Somewhere between 'quirky' and 'homely', so I guess that must be 'quomely'. Comfortable bed, excellent muffins for breakfast, well located for strolling round the town or headlands.

    The kitchen could have been a little better equipped (only a microwave available). We found preparing food a little tricky which was a shame as the local supermarket offered so much good produce. A combi oven would have been ideal.

    A quirky little place which seems to fit in with the rest of Mendocino, a charming village. Breakfast was freshly baked muffins delivered to your door in the morning, a lovely touch.

    Could offer breakfast.

    Inn is very nice and well located. Have't seen anybody from staff, but everything worked well. Keys were waiting in a box and we could enter without problems. They don't serve breakfast, but bring tasty muffins to the door. The coffee machine in the room helps prepare a simple breakfast. It offers a very nice spa, with sauna and a hot tube and the room is very nice.

    A bit below my standard for cleanliness but overall we were very comfortable.

    The towels and sheets/ bedding were wonderful compared to 95%of places I've stayed, including 5 star resorts. The muffins in the morning are out of this world!

    Not their fault, but ants were very active so everything had to go in the little refrigerator.

    Location was great. The Apple Cottage provided a lot of privacy. We brought our two dogs and they provided towels and sheets to cover where the dogs may be. Also grassy area for the dogs and some snacks for them, more accommodating than most places for pets. We are vegans, so they had a nice chia pudding with fruit on top instead of muffins, nice touch.
