The staff was very helpful and kind. Genuinely friendly. The room was clean and they provided additional items as needed. I thought that putt putt golf was included in the stay, but was advised that since we booked through Hotels.com and not through the hotel directly that we would have to pay for golf. I wasn’t expecting that. That was a bummer. It’s kind of why I selected this hotel.

Good location. Quiet place. Everything we expected for our weekend getaway

I was very pleased by my experience. My room was up to date with decor and furnishings, the towels were fluffy, the shower was hot with plenty of water pressure, the bedding was pristine and comfortable, and everything was very clean. I would be delighted to come back anytime.

Beautiful location next to the pomo bluffs state park. Comfortable pleasant room. Very friendly staff. 90s decor. Also loved breakfast at a frame espresso across the street.

We loved our stay and the area around it was nice for walking the dog. Also at the end of the road where hotel was we found a beautiful cliff area for walk and photos.
I think you had a nice tub/shower combo which I liked.

Property in top condition rooms up to date clean and tidy. Not the cheapest but still good value.

Mini golf was dingy. No upkeep and kids from a party were running rampant around entire course with no adult supervision.
8.0
The hotel rooms are super well insulated, you can't even hear a car engine start outside. The only downside is that there is a grab and go breakfast, but no sit down continental breakfast.

Excellent stay. Best mattress in 8 nights! 3-4 walkable restaurants. There is mini golf very, very, close by. Almost on site.
Fun goofy way to unwind after a long day on the road.

It is conveniently located. The only real downside was no a/c. They did provide a fan.

Nice stay. We had our dogs with us. Large spot for them to go potty.
Room was clean. Very nice large mini fridge .
The only thing I was surprised with was that mini golf was not free as advertised. You got a very small discount to play .
All in all a decent place to stay .

The mini golf is not included, just discounted. Hotel charged hidden fees after check out that were not discussed or disclosed.

2 rooms, booked month in advance. Rooms on opposites sides hotel & street. Noisy, traffic, heater, after got it to work. Both rooms. Clean, but flood light, noise, ice machine, soda machine, stairs next to room all combined for a horrible stay. Expect better for 300 dollars a night. Did i mention old mattress. Next time motel 6, more bang for the buck.

The staff checking in were very sweet and full of smiles. I absolutely loved the way they folded their toilet paper and towels into shapes and animals! :-D It made our day.

The main issue was that the room was hot and stuffy all night long. We made sure the heater was off and utilized the fans. We tried opening the window, which would only open a few inches due to a block placed on the tracks. I called the front desk and their response to me was to use the fans provided. The internet was very slow. The refrigerator froze all of our food and drinks. No microwave. The bottom bed sheet on both beds kept coming undone. I know it sounds like “nit picking,” but it just seemed to be one thing after another. Also, the mini golf course is not included in the stay. We wil not stay at this facility again.

Comfortable clean room, but AC did not work. Did not notify staff as I was only here for one night. Overall happy with my stay.
5.0
Booked this one night stay at the last minute as we were on a week long road trip. Check in was super easy, the nice lady was very friendly and accommodating. The 2 queen room was very good size, beds were comfortable and everything in the room worked well, fridge was actually cold! Would definitely recommend staying!
4.0
Clean room, Lots of pillows, bed was older spring, bouncy and too soft. Room was stuffy and hot, but there were two fans in room for cross ventilation. AC upgrade would make this a great place to stay, as is it was average.

They would not give a receipt of payment, not good.

Passing through the area. A nice place to stop in Ft Bragg Ca. Hope to return soon.

The hotel would of received a 5 star but they didn't have AC. The rooms are stuffy and hot. You have to leave the door or window open. It is not convenient for people that will get sick if a window is left open overnight. During my stay, I witnessed other customers with their doors completely opened everyday. Be prepared that you have to pay an additional $200 that will be held on your card when you check in, it will be released once you check out.

A microwave in the rooms would be great. We asked for fresh towels, tissues and toilet paper before we left in the morning and had to call and ask again around 5pm. They were prompt in bringing those items once we called and reminded them. The room was clean and everyone was friendly but there is some room for improvement.

Clean, friendly staff, close to many of the amenities and places around Fort Bragg. Very quiet even when being next to Highway 1. Would definitely stay there again in the future if visiting that area.
