We loved this place and would stay here again! It's really the best pet-friendly hotel we've stayed at -they provide a bed, some treats, bowls, poop bags, not to mention there's so much space for dogs to run around and explore.

Middling Mendocino

Great location. Good sized cabin, reasonably well-equipped kitchen, but very dated, in need of modernization, and the floor needs leveling. Lots of potential.
