Relaxing family stay
Pros:

We always enjoy the location. The gkids love the pool and proximity to local beaches and trails. While enjoying our back patio, a doe and her two fawns came within reach as they nibbled the grasses. Quite lovely and relaxing.

Cons:

Great Overnight in Bodega Bay
Pros:

Centrally located in Bodega Bay this hotel was great. Check in was a breeze and the front desk staff were very welcoming. They took the time to explain everything regarding the property, pool/hot tub, and parking. The rooms were fairly priced and included parking and a continental breakfast via vouchers that can be used at the restaurant across the street. It was nice and short morning walk from the room to the breakfast. If you decide not to get the continental breakfast, the voucher gets you 25% off hot food. The rooms themselves were clean and adequate, but tired. Could use a renovation. No noticeable noises from outside or adjacent rooms. The family loved that the pool and hot tub was open until 11pm. The pool was heated to 80 degrees and kids had a blast night swimming. We overall enjoyed our stay at this hotel and would definitely stay again next time we visit Bodega.

Perfect and to a great trip!
Pros:

What a beautiful property!!! Stunning views from the extra large room. The pool, spa facilities were wonderful. So nice you won’t want to leave to see the sights. A bit costly, but worth it.

Pros:

Great location, staff was friendly and helpful, bed was comfortable and room had a great view.

Cons:

On top of an already pricey stay, the hotel charged $20 more for a 1 hour late check out! They probably should do this only on busy days. We checked out on a Monday..

It was a nice stay but a bit overpriced given how many updates were needed.
Pros:

Nice big and open property but needs a lot of updating.

Cons:

Room was spacious but TV was old and not HD or a Smart TV. Should be upgraded to match the rest of the room. No black out shades…which were needed. Terrible water pressure in the shower. Fireplace worked well but made our room way too hot!
