The shower had no hand rails or a mat to avoid falling from slippery tiles.

The staff were wonderful; breakfast was great, fresh, and tasty. Wilson room was clean. One of the light on the night stand flickers and turned on by itself after we went to bed, probably old wiring. Everything was to be expected for a historic building turned B&B. The only complain was the bed; super lumpy, probably time to replace it. Overall, our stay was pleasant, refreshing. Got amazing restaurants in Mendocino. Will visit again.

We were in the Berry room. The view was amazing. The location exceptional. The bed was comfortable. The breakfast served in our room was delivered hot, well presented and delicious. We walked to Luna Trattoria the night before. It is around the corner from the Inn and we had a dinner that was perfect even though we had a seat at the bar because we were walk ins with no reservations. There are problems with the Headlands Inn: The carpet was dirty and worn, both in our room and in the common areas such as the staircase . The tile grout in our bathroom was dirty. It just needed a good cleaning. The blinds in our room were frayed and worn. The amenities in the bathroom felt like we were staying at our great aunt’s house and she had bought the best stuff from Walmart. The wallpaper through out the home felt tired, dated and worn. There was a throw rug in our room that was hiding the worn carpet below but was also a tripping hazard with the corners flipping up. This property needs a refresh. The experience could be amazing as the location is the perfect seaside vibe.

This place is very charming and comfortable. Upon arrival, we had a warm welcome from the inn keeper and delicious homemade cookies made by his wife. The down topper on the bed is extra comfy and the towels in the bathroom are some of the softest I’ve felt. A delicious hot breakfast was delivered to our room. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a charming cozy place to stay in Mendocino.

The Headlands Inn is the archetypal Victorian Inn with lacy curtains, sitting parlor, and cottage garden. Plus the room was clean, the bed very comfortable and the breakfast delicious, so yes I'd stay there again.

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay here. The room was spotless, the bed very comfortable and it was incredibly quiet all night until daylight (which in early November is late!). The host was very friendly and showed us a couple of the other rooms, they are all equally lovely. The location is a close walk to everything in town. If you open the window you can even hear the surf crashing in the distance.

My husband, my 2yo, and I stayed there for one night. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating given that we had a toddler! Our room was beautiful and cozy; we loved the fireplace, and the little touches like a rubber ducky in the tub for our daughter to enjoy during bath. The location is superb, easy walk to the beach and right in the town. It’s right in front of a park with swings, which our daughter enjoyed. Rest assured, this is really meant for no kids since it’s super quiet and peaceful, but we so appreciate that it worked well for us for a quick night. Best part was easily the delish breakfast! Beautifully laid out with fresh fruit, and milk alternatives to go with our coffee. Thanks for a great stay!

A Victorian property updated whilst retaining period charm. The room was of a good size with a comfortable bed and bathroom with all mod cons. The breakfast was fine and brought to the room. The downside if a period property was the creaks and groans of the wooden floors as people moved around and the lack of soundproofing. Also, no TV. However I would be happy to return.

Pleasant, efficient owner and staff. Location right in center of town. Well appointed rooms. Our room was not in main building of inn, but a half block away in a separate building. It was still a charming room with a semiprivate deck that made the room more expansive than its actual size. Happy we stayed there.

I guess this will be a special place for us moving forward! We had literally the best honeymoon ever! The breakfast was amazing, we used the fireplace and even were gifted a half bottle of wine for our super special occasion. The keepers made everything feel homie and exceptional!

Old Victorian home w/ character. Cozy and charming. Well maintained for its age. No TV so take a tablet or laptop for streaming entertainment. Good breakfast in bed. John the owner is courteous and helpful. If you prefer firm bed, it's soft and lumpy.

My wife and I chose Headlands Inn because it is close to Russian Gulch State Park and we wanted to hike there. We chose "The Hideaway" which is around the corner from the Inn. It was like having our own little private bungalow. Inside was cozy and warm. Continental breakfast was great, more than adequate since we didn't want too heavy before our hike.

I am extremely fussy about cleanliness. The Inn overall was clean - but I have a hard time with soiled carpets and furniture. Although I imagine it is hard to keep up with a continued flow of guests. Staff was pleasant, friendly and helpful. Breakfasts were outstanding. Bed was very high so a bit difficult for me to get into. Featherbed under sheets left a lump in the middle so make bed a bit uncomfortable. Overall all though I would rate 9.5 out of 10 and would go back.

Personable staff took care of our needs. Charming decor and special bench sitting at windows which open to fresh air and beautiful views. Love the old antiques and old decor and linens. Serve an out-of-ordinary breakfast which staff brings to your room. Parlor treats in the afternoon are pleasing touch.

Amazing! Just perfect for my birthday- the room was the essence of a B&B, Victorian ambiance perfectly decorated with tapestry style bedspread and the working fireplace, the breakfast measures up to any top restaurant, location is great in the heart of town but still sees the sea. Even the afternoon cookies & tea were superb. Accolades to John and Ashley
