She made sure our room was ready for us, gave us a discount coupon for a nearby restaurant, and handed us a list of local places to check out, which was so helpful after a long day of driving. Everything was thought out in advance, and we really appreciated that level of care. The room itself was nice, and the ocean view from the balcony was lovely. The location is great, and the property definitely has that classic coastal Fort Bragg vibe. That said, for nearly $300 a night, there were a couple of misses. The shampoo bottle mounted in the shower was empty, which was disappointing -- especially at that price. Thankfully, I had brought my own. It was also pretty noisy early in the morning, with doors slamming throughout the building, which made it hard to get solid rest. Because of those things, I'm taking off one star. Even so, I genuinely liked the place and would consider staying again. Huge shout-out to Cody for going above and beyond -- her kindness and professionalism really made the stay better. @wegotschwag on tik tok

Walt from Walt's Adventures reporting from Mendocino, California from the North Cliff Hotel…read more This hotel is moderately priced, has great views, and did I mention the balcony and fireplace? They do offer a grab and go style breakfast with muffins and oatmeal and OJ. My tastes would prefer eggs and waffles but their lobby is somewhat limited on space so no strike against them. Some hotels don't offer breakfast. Besides, they sell wines which would go nicely on the balcony. I am unsure if they have a pool or hot tub but they do have specific rooms for dog owners and even provide them with their own gift basket... which I have never experienced before. I have a new hotel in the area and I highly recommend them.

The views with the two arms of the harbor wrapping around the hotel...it is magical. I was worried when I read and saw how close it was to the highway, but with the way its nestled into the hill, road noise is no problem. As for the fog horn, yes, it is noisy and annoying. But we were provided ear plugs and a box fan. Due to the excessive heat this year (and probably every year moving forward--thanks a lot consumerist culture and climate change), we were roasting the first night. No AC. (And I hope they never get it. More wasted energy.) Used the box fan the second night and it was perfect. During the day, opened the glass patio door and enjoyed the ocean breeze. And did I mention the views? I could sit on that patio and watch the water, listening to seals barking, all. day. long. Lastly...it is walkable to the Noyo Headlands Park. This open space is magical. We learned that the neighboring wastewater plant helped replenish the soil after the conservancy obtained the land from the old lumber mill. Volunteers seeded plant life. Brilliant use of local resources! The birds and sea life were incredible. So glad to enjoy nature's glory, and just a walk from the hotel room.

We had a great time at the Holiday Inn Express during the 4th of July weekend…read more There was plenty of parking up front when we arrived. We were promptly greeted by Dimitri at the front desk. He was super nice and checked us in quickly. He informed us where the 24x7 coffee/tea/hot chocolate station was and that breakfast was served from 6:30 am to 9. The hotel has one elevator that was in good working condition. We arrived to our room and were immediately amazed by the balcony forest view. We could also see the bridge and the ocean in the background. I highly recommend reserving a balcony forest view room. We loved it. Overall the morning complimentary breakfast was great, the room was fresh and clean, and staff were super friendly. Thanks Holiday Inn Express Fort Bragg!

The hotel was exceptionally clean, from the lobby to our guest room and bathroom. Everything felt well maintained, and the staff made us feel welcome throughout our stay. One of the highlights was the complimentary breakfast. Holiday Inn Express consistently does a great job with breakfast, and this location was no exception. There was a great selection of hot items including eggs, bacon, sausage, potatoes, and, of course, their famous cinnamon rolls, which are always a family favorite! It's a reliable way to start a day of exploring the coast. Our only suggestion would be to expand the room options for families in the future. We'd love to see more family suites with a king bed and twin bunk beds, or rooms with two queen beds and a pull-out sofa. Those layouts would make this hotel an even better choice for families traveling with children. Overall, we had an excellent experience and highly recommend this hotel as a clean, comfortable, and convenient home base for visiting Fort Bragg, Glass Beach, the Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens, and the surrounding area. We look forward to returning!

Dear Mr. Marino, Sean, the team at Noyo Harbor Inn, and the entire crew of Harbor View Bistro &…read moreBar, Thank you for creating such an extraordinary place and for providing outstanding hospitality to your guests and diners. Mr. Marino, your vision for Noyo Harbor Inn shines through in every detail. The fact that it took six years to lovingly restore this historic property, working with local artisans and incorporating indigenous materials, speaks volumes about your respect for local history, culture, and the hardworking community that calls this beautiful place home. It is clear that this is far more than a business--it is a labor of love. Your impeccable taste, generosity, and attention to detail make every corner of the inn feel both elegant and deeply welcoming. From the soft robes and plush towels to thoughtful touches like slippers, earplugs, a Nespresso coffee machine, and complimentary water, every detail has been carefully considered. The rooms are beautiful, the views are unforgettable, and even the sounds of the working harbor and Coast Guard station become part of the unique charm and character of the experience. There truly is something here for everyone. The gazebo cigar lounge with its warm fire pit is a wonderful gathering place, whether or not you're a smoker. The whiskey program is remarkable--a book rather than a menu, with more than 100 selections and tasting flights for every level of enthusiast. While I'm not a whiskey connoisseur myself, I couldn't help but appreciate the uniqueness and passion behind such a thoughtfully curated experience. What makes Noyo Harbor Inn truly special, however, is its people. Your handpicked team of warm, genuine, and caring individuals makes every guest feel less like a visitor and more like a cherished friend. Their kindness, professionalism, and hospitality transform a wonderful stay into an unforgettable one. The Harbor View Bistro & Bar is equally exceptional. The food, drinks, service, and atmosphere come together beautifully. Dining on the patio while overlooking the river is an experience in itself. The menu offers something for every palate--from creative appetizers and fresh seafood to hearty entrées, vegetarian options, and delicious desserts. Every meal felt special, and the warmth and friendliness of the serving team made each dining experience even more memorable. Noyo Harbor Inn is a hidden gem--one that perfectly reflects the spirit of Fort Bragg, a truly remarkable place filled with rich history, breathtaking natural beauty, and generations of hardworking people. Together, they create something rare and unforgettable. Thank you for giving us memories we will treasure for years to come. We are already planning our next trip, and a stay at Noyo Harbor Inn is without question at the heart of those plans. With gratitude and admiration, We can't wait to return.

Couldn't get a definitive answer on anything. The last thing she said to me was "I don't care". Well, went and packed up then back to the desk to hand in the keys all before 9am. The kicker is they charged me $284 for the night I didn't stay.

We called ahead to see if there was a restaurant on sight. There isn't one, but they have a sister restaurant that is about 3 min away that if you get their coupon you get 20% off. It's only 3.5 stars on Yelp so we passed and ate on our way. We were running late so that was really our only option to get lunch on our way to work. On the phone they asked us our arrive time and according to the gps it said 1hr and 12 minutes. She said she'll try to have our room ready as people were just checking out now. We arrived at 1:30 pm on Tuesday, May 4th 2026. To our amazement our room was ready, we weren't expecting that as we were so early. It was a blessing as I had to get to work in the room, we can work remotely sometimes. They also upgraded us to a room with a view. And it's a remarkable view of the ward and harbor. You can hear the sea lions, I believe barking at each other and many species of bird singing. There is a balcony with chairs you can sit out on too. The room has its own thermostat which keeps the room toasty warm on low and it's quiet. I can't recall what kind of unit it is but it's in the blood bad it quietly pushes hot air out. The room has a kireg type machine with sorted coffee, large mini fridge and freezer, and microwave. There is a desk and lounge chair and big screen tv with multiple channels. The shower/tub and toilet is separate from the vanity. The light to the tub/ toilet are is on the outside and the fan is extremely loud, so loud that it will wake up your mates who are in a deep slumber, so that's a minus. They have a ground floor that requires no steps and has a ramp that goes around to additional rooms. Other than that there are a lot of steps and no elevator that we've seen. So if you don't do stairs pick the ground floor and walk in on the lobby side. The lobby has all day tea, coffee, hot chocolate complimentary. They also have snacks and drinks for purchase: rice a Toni, Mac n cheese, spaghetti o's chicken noodle soup, tuna/chicken and crackers, chips, jerky oatmeal, and cold cereal. As for drinks they have juice boxes, milk, Gatorade, matcha, ect. No alcohol that I could see. The wharf is a 15 min walk or 3 min drive and they have seafood restaurants there. Across the street is Homestyle cafe for breakfast and lunch and you're a few min from downtown. This is a great location.

My husband and I stayed here for 4 nights and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was affordable for…read morethe duration we stayed. The majority of this area (Mendocino/Ft. Bragg) is ridiculously expensive. We opted for an economic stay versus an expensive, luxury stay since we were going to spend very little time in our room. We stayed in room 319 on the second floor. We had a room with a balcony overlooking the harbor and highway 1. Be forewarned, this hotel is definitely outdated, but it had everything we needed: it was fairly quiet, had a comfy bed, good water pressure, and was clean! Since our room was closer to the highway, it was a bit noisy with the sliding glass door open, but was fine once it was closed. It didn't bother us at night. Your room will also not be turned in daily, but they give you plenty of towels and the garbage cans are big so it was fine for our stay. Overall, we we'e very satisfied and recommend this hotel if you are staying in the area.

First of all, llamas are my favorite and so to be able to walk a llama like a pet was a dream come true. I got to meet Cody, Burt, and Ty Ty, who were all friendly and well trained. We did the ocean bluffs hike, and the woman in charge, Dana, was really accommodating to our plans (it was all tentative because of the rain). We were in contact prior to that weekend, and she was quick with emailing me back which I really appreciated. She even emailed me while I was enroute from Oakland to wear boots because it will be wet, and I had been debating over my shoe options! So thoughtful. She planned a fantastic hike for us and set up an adorable little picnic table for my bf and I, and it was all perfect (gorgeous day too after a day of rain).

I never thought I would befriend some llamas but that's what happened. Cody and Lucky were great, they were friendly, smart and followed you very well. I do have to warn you about Cody's frequent bathroom breaks but you can not blame him when he goes to the bathroom WHILE eating (check out the pics). The owners, Dana and Mike, are great also! Dana had set up a picnic on a cliff for us to enjoy the view along with some wine and hors d'oeuvres. By the way, you can pick out different options for wine and hors d'oeuvres, cold or hot. My next visit to Mendocino will definitely involve the llama trek through the Redwood Grove. Can't wait to see Lucky and Cody again!
