The place is a little rustic, but has charm (we've stayed in may Ft Bragg hotels). The dog-friendly option is excellent and they don't stick you with a huge fee for pets. Waking distance from David's Restaurant, which has an incredible breakfast.

This was a very cute hotel and we enjoyed our stay. The location was great convenient. The only disappointing factor was we were needing to use the laundry facilities and it was not in working order and this was not described on the amenities. Other than that great place to stay.

The hotel and room was a bit dated but it was nice, clean, and a good value. The bed was comfortable. The breakfast was a nice touch. It wasn't elaborate but it had a nice selection (cereal, oatmeal, fruit, toast, pastries, coffee, chocolate, and juice). We would definitely stay there again.
