I loved staying at the Inn. The breakfast was the best part, plus the location and decor. The only minor issue was that the none of the windows in the tower opened so the room was musty. Otherwise, everything was great.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Nice room (208) with a good view of the ocean! But from mid-morning until late evening the huge exhaust fan in the restaurant across the street made keeping the window closed a necessity and shortened our time on the otherwise nice deck. Suggest selecting a different facing room. The breakfasts are delivered around 9am - perhaps later than many prefer - and didn't have the usual daily fresh pastry, eggs, waffles, French toast, etc: nice oatmeal with a good scone one day, and a veggie sort of stew with bread the next. Nice wine and cheese in the afternoons.

I recently stayed at the Blue Door Inns and had a fantastic experience. The room was beautifully decorated, clean, and cozy, making it feel like a home away from home. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, going above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. The breakfast options were fresh and delicious, adding a lovely touch to each morning. Overall, I would highly recommend Blue Door Inns to anyone visiting the area. It was an unforgettable stay, and I can’t wait to return!

The town of Mendocino is so very unique and definitely now one of the best places we have ever stayed in around the world. And our stay at Packard House complimented that perfectly. The accomodation was beautifully clean, tidy and in keeping with the picture perfect clapperboard houses next to am unbelievably stunning coastline.

All the staff we had contact with were very helpful, pleasant. The breakfast was brought to our door each morning and the food was amazing. Each day's breakfast was different from the day before. Eggs souffle, poached another day with roasted potatoes, quinoa w/fruit, yogurt and fruit, orange juice everyday, and great coffee and tea. We satyed in a converted Water tower that was incrediblely cute and the beds were super comfortable. Great place!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The property was beautiful, the room was decorated simply and tastefully, and the bed was very comfortable. It was also well located to town. I gave this place three stars because it was advertised as a B&B. My past B&B experiences include breakfast around a communal table, talking with guests and the property owners. But this had none of that. Breakfast was delivered in a picnic basket. I didn’t really see any guests or managers. It felt like Covid 2020. Had I known this, I definitely would’ve picked a different place. That being said, it really was a beautiful location. It was the experience that was lacking.

Property has a great location , convenient to shopping and restaurants. Staff was great and breakfasts were tasty. However rooms were very poorly furnished--no bureaus, closets or any other place to put clothes or other items , and walls were paper thin.sovthat we could hear every step of neighboring guests.
