Nice stay
Pros:

The room is modern with nice amenities. The bed is comfortable. Parking is easy.

Cons:

The ocean view is from far away. The hotel has a bit of a motel feel from a layout perspective but not from a price perspective. The town is about a 5 minute drive.

just ok
Pros:

la stanza era grande e ho apprezzato la macchinetta del caffe` presente in stanza

Cons:

purtroppo c`era puzza di fogna nel bagno, il letto scricchiolava ad ogni movimento e non c erano le tende oscuranti sopra la porta d`ingresso e quindi la luce entrava.
penso che, per la qualita` della stanza, il prezzo era abbastanza elevato

Pros:

We had a great stay at the Mendo Bungalo! We had a King room with a soaking tub. When we first pulled in the office was closed. it look us a few minutes to figure out how to get our room key. Once we got our key we found our room and we were plesantly surprised. It was a cute room with a decent amount of space. It was nice and clean. The room had a small table and chairs, two seating chairs, mini fridge and microwave tucked into the closet, and a Nespresso machine! The sliding door opened up to a beautiful view of trees and there were two chairs on a small porch for you to sit and enjoy your coffee. The grounds also had a cute little area with fire pits, a giant connect four game, picnic tables and bistro lights.

Cons:

It was a little pricy, we stayed three nights and it added up really quick! When we turned the jets on in the tub some dark gunk came out of them. This was our first time in the Mondocino area. It would have been nice to gave some guidence on things to do. Maybe a guide book in the rooms or even if there was someone in the office to talk to when we check in would have been nice.
