This is the second time we've stayed here recently, and the staff has always been great - friendly, proactive and helpful. The hotel is about 2 miles from downtown Ft. Bragg, but there are several restaurants within an easy walk (we like The Wharf directly across from the hotel). The WiFi was not great during this stay; I don't remember it being like that previously.

Great view of the harbor entrance from the balcony over the water. Great location for walking to Noyo Harbor restaurants and the mouth of the harbor. The restaurant above the rooms is under renovation (March 2026), so expect a bit of a mess, noise and activities.

Love the convenience of the location for my crab trip but they were under construction and no restaurant bar service and the cost of the room should have been lower but it’s is a great place we stay there all the time.

The property is currently undergoing an upgrade. We stayed during construction and it was still pleasant. Nothing beats the view! Befs are comfortable. Toilet is a little short. No complaints, it's one of our favorites!

The room was very clean. The staff was friendly and helpful. Although the whole building was rather old I could tell they were fixing it up. It will be better when the restaurant is open. I liked being down in the harbor. Everything was a short walk away.

The room was really nice, bed seemed nice too. Unfortunately we did not stay in our room due to a water issue from restaurant upstairs. We were moved to the Lodge we checked into. They went above and beyond allowing us to keep our pets with us (3lb chihuahua and 11lb chewinee), thank you.

The room was very clean and cozy. The balcony was right on the water and watching the otters play in the morning was a special treat. Many things to do and see within a short walk from the lodge. I’m definitely booking again!

It's important to note that to check in and to get any extra coffee, pillows, help with anything at all you have to go about a mile up the hill. The hotel/restaurant is under construction (supposed to be 9-5 hrs) but there are extremely loud noises 6am to very late into the evening. The restaurant is way overpriced and not good service, although good view. I recommend casa de la sol across the street for excellent food, good prices and better service. Other than the bowling balls hitting the ceiling at 6am the beds are ok and the location is ideal. Save time of money not eating at the restaurant and getting extremely small portions and ignored.
