We had a lovely time and it was much needed. We escaped the valley heat for the weekend and made the right choice ion w
Pros:

The bed was surprisingly comfortable, the staff was amazing and so friendly.. there was a bit of a mix up with room availability but they made it right.

Cons:

It’s an older property so it shows, but it was very clean which is way more important than aesthetics!

Impromptu Girls Trip Fun
Pros:

My Mother in-law said we should go to Ft. Bragg and get away (our family has had a rough go the last few years) So away we went. She recommended we stay here as she had stayed here previously with my father-in-law and as it was her anniversary we headed that way the next day.

The location was perfect, the room was spacious enough for 4 women (1 that may pack way too much, Hi, I am the problem) and all of our things including our ice chest an d the food we packed we never ate.

The bathroom was HUGE with enough counter space for again 4 women and all of our things. With a bath tub made for two people (this would be excellent for a quick romantic get away)

Our room was Harbor View and close to the road. You would have thought that we would have heard cars and people on walkway area all night. I have no idea what it is insulated with, however we heard nothing from the road area.

The beds were super comfy, there were extra blankets and pillows I would imagine for colder months, plenty of towels etc in the bathroom.

The other item that always makes me crazy that they hit out of the park was the coffee supply, there was plenty of coffee pods in the room which is not the norm, as well as a good amount of creamer and REAL coffee mugs!

The Staff at our arrival was amazing and gave us information on local places to eat as well as brewery's etc. They have some very good looking swag, which I purchased a hoody and wore all weekend. Not only is it well made and incredibly soft it was also the most reasonable purchase I made the three days we were there.

We had an amazing time 10 out of 10 would stay again.
