The sweet water tower was the best. Use of the public spa and redwood tubs during after hours was well worth having to go down a flight of stairs for the showered and bathroom

Sweetwater is a quiet, comfortable, and pretty spot for a vacation in the heart of Mendocino Village.

The Inn was as cute and quaint as you can imagine. Perfect location across from the beach and close to hiking trails. Will definitely stay again and upgrade to one of the cottages in the back.

We had an enjoyable stay at the Sweetwater Inn. It's in an excellent Mendocino location and is quiet at night. The furnishings are mid century which was fun and fresh muffins were delivered each morning.

such a gem! we stayed 2 nights here to spend a day at orr hot springs (we had a dog, who we rover'ed). from check in to muffins in the morning, everything was so lovely! the spa in the back was amazing; call ahead if you want to book a massage. and definitely go to luna trattoria (through the garden gate) while you're there!

We have stayed here several times and will keep coming back! The staff is friendly and the units are adorable. Plus you get fresh baked muffins delivered daily. This time we stayed in the Sears tower, which is right next door to a phenomenal Italian restaurant-Luna. I’ve also stayed stage Redwood tower which is the best place to star and ocean gaze. Most units are pet friendly as well.

We had a lovely time at the garden cottage I found broken glass and a nail by the grassy area. No cuts!

Sweetwater Inn and Spa is a lovely, large, comfortable, cozy studio apartment. A full sofa neatly separates the bed/living area from the kitchen/dining area. The round dining table comfortably fits 3 people. The full kitchen is well supplied with pots, pans, etc. They deliver breakfast muffins every day. A gas fireplace cozily drives away the evening ocean chill. A large screen TV accesses lots of channels. The queen bed is comfortable. Good quality linens. We have free access to sauna and hot tub. All units beautifully set in lush gardens. And, the inn is walkable to restaurants, museums, hiking, the ocean, quiet beaches and a grocery store. This is a lovely, quiet retreat.

The hotel does not have a place to park your car, the beds are very old, the mattresses, the place in Mendocino is beautiful, but I would never return to that place to rest, nor do I recommend it

The shower head broke upon the first use, and no attempt was made to repair it, rendering the shower unuseable for the duration of our stay.
Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023

6/10

Almost all individual units, great not sharing a wall with another noisy guest. Fully equipped kitchen, grass, flowers, housed far off the street—all good. Two good restaurants and spa only a few steps away down a path—also good.However, management of this property apparently does not believe business is best enhanced by flattering and coddling guests. Guests are scolded about everything from water use to washcloth use to dishwashing. I want inn keepers who treat me like an honored guest, not one who sees me as a threat to his bottom line. The water use concerns, in particular, were disingenuous. If ownership were truly worried about “every precious drop of water,” it would not be operating a spa on this property. Don’t expect much service from on-site management. Hunter Biden worked longer hours for Ukraine than does the management of Sweetwater.
