    UNLAWFUL BEHAVIOR AND CONSTANT LYING OF THE OWNER Update: After more than 10 phone calls and several days of being ignored, I finally managed to speak with the owner, Ian. Unfortunately, the call only made things worse. He was extremely rude and dismissive, and insisted we must have caused the damage -- even though his own staff admitted that one cleaner checked the room right after we left and found everything perfectly fine. The broken towel bar wasn't reported until hours later by a different cleaner who entered the room at 2 p.m. Despite that clear timeline, Ian still blamed us and showed no interest in hearing the facts. What's worse, he said he would only consider refunding the $150 charge if I removed my negative review. No accountability. No recognition of the week-long stress, and unanswered emails. Just manipulation -- as if my frustration, wasted time, and poor treatment were all irrelevant. Original: I had a deeply disappointing experience with Seagull Inn Bed and Breakfast. We checked out of the Frolic room on May 14 with everything in perfect condition. However, on May 17, I was unexpectedly charged $150 accompanied by a disrespectful email accusing us of breaking a towel bar -- something we absolutely did not do. I immediately replied to the email asking for photos or any form of evidence. No one ever responded. I then called on May 17, 18, and 19, speaking with three different staff members. Each time I was told the same thing: they couldn't do anything, but that the owner, Ian, would call me back that same day. It's now May 20, and I have yet to hear a single word from him. To make matters worse, one staff member actually admitted that their cleaning lady went into the room shortly after we left at 10 a.m. and confirmed everything was fine. Then, another cleaner supposedly entered the room at 2 p.m. and reported the damage. That clearly means it couldn't have been us -- yet they still charged me and refused to reverse it, despite knowing these facts. The lack of communication, accountability, and basic customer respect has been appalling. I feel like I've been scammed, or at the very least, treated extremely unfairly. I would not recommend staying here unless you're comfortable being blamed and charged for damages without any proof and being completely ignored when you try to defend yourself.

    I'm a hotel person. I always stay at them . One brand in particular so staying at a bed and breakfast is a first for me . I am so happy that for our first stay, we chose Sea Gull. From the moment we walked in, we were well taken care off. Everyone we encountered was very sweet and helpful. You can tell that they absolutely love what they do . Check in process was a breeze. Room was clean and unique. Each room has a different setup and decor. Love the vibe. Breakfast was delicious. I will definitely be coming back here .

    Wonderful stay with innkeepers Ian and his lovely wife. Ian greeted us upon our arrival and gave us a little backstory of the property and their time as innkeepers. He offered up suggestions for dining and activities as well. They even gave us the recipes to some of the breakfast items we enjoyed at our request! The inn has a wonderful little garden, as do lots of homes in the village. So much green foliage and flowers to enjoy. Even had a hummingbird visit one sunny day. The inn is perfectly located within minutes of boutique shops, dining, and the headlands coastal path. We stayed in Lookout 1 room, I think there is about 8 different rooms. The bed was pretty comfy, there was seating inside and rocking chairs on the porch, and the heater kept the room nice and toasty when we used it in the evening. This area is affected, like much of Calif, with the drought, so there are reminders everywhere to conserve water. That includes keeping your showers to a minimum and so forth. They do operate off wells in this area so just be mindful to the community as a whole. Shower was kind of small, fine for me but larger folks might feel a bit claustrophobic. It's a 130+ year old building so it just goes with the territory I suppose. The breakfasts were delivered to your room at one of 2 times (830 or 930) and they always made a point to add nice touches like fresh flowers. Enjoyed each different breakfast. All in all, we loved it and loved the convenience and hospitality. We would definitely go back.

    We spent our honeymoon weekend at Sea Gull Inn. Ian and his staff were very friendly and helpful. The rooms were super cute, clean and had a great view of the coast. The breakfasts were delicious! I especially loved the quiche! Will definitely be back for our first year anniversary.

    Adorable place in a great location with super friendly staff. It was quaint and perfect for my trip to Mendocino! The breakfast was delish, too.

    When we decide on a last minute weekend getaway to Mendocino, I knew it was the perfect place to stay at a B&B. But when I looked at the High House Inn which had a Groupon offer, I noticed that they offered the bed but not the breakfast, really defeating the purpose of the B&B experience. So I immediately started looking at other options and came across the Sea Gull Inn. Although Mendocino Village itself is only about a 2-3 block radius, Sea Gull Inn was perfectly located, down the block from the McCallum House for dinner, a block away from the trailhead to head down to the beach or the top of the seacliffs for a beautiful sunset or early morning walk. With 4 rooms upstairs and 3 downstairs as part of the house, there is also the Barn and the Shed which is next to but detached from the main inn in different sizes so there is bound to be a room perfect for everyone. I loved how they allowed you to peek into the other unoccupied rooms so you can see which ones you would like to return to stay in the future. We stayed in the beautiful Driftwood Room which is the largest one upstairs, although one of the priciest, that comes with a tub/shower combo and complete with a small fireplace that acts as the heater as well to keep you cozy on a cold night. Upon peeking at the other rooms, I also fell in love with the Sand Dollar, one of the smaller rooms upstairs that faces the front so therefore has a small oceanview and wonderful lighting. There is no common indoor area but you do have full access to their outside garden with lots of seating to unwind with a good book. The front desk hours are limited to the morning through check out at 11AM, with a break in between and then return again from check in at 3PM to about 7PM. Because there is no common area, breakfast is delivered to your room often by owner Jim directly with orange juice, a choice of hot beverage like coffee or hot chocolate, a serving of fruit, a baked item like a huge muffin and yogurt which is so good I do wish it was more than a couple of spoonful. But overall it is a nice filling breakfast perfect to enjoy in the comfort of your own room. Everyone is so nice and would definitely return to my favorite Driftwood and backup Sand Dollar for the next time I am in the area.

    An adorable bed and breakfast that made our trip to Mendocino so special! Great location with literally all of the restaurants/shops/beach within a short walking distance. Service was excellent, with the most beautiful and delicious breakfasts served every morning! I particularly loved the amount of outdoor areas to lounge/eat outside for within the actual inn, which was great for breakfast or takeout of other meals. We got the Albion room which was cozy and small, perfectly fine for two people. Also, as it was an old building the walls are definitely thin Couldn't recommend more!

    Staying at this historic B&B was really amazing. The owner checked us in and was nice and told about the town and everything still open and what to do. We were asked what time we wanted our breakfast and we said 8 as we had to get on the road by 8:30. Around 8:30 we asks where is was and they said they are still working on it, so unfortunately we sat in our room for 45 mins waiting on something we could have and had to leave. It would have been 5 stars if we got our breakfast.

    This Bed and Breakfast was by far the best decision we made while staying in Mendocino. Not only is the beach just a short walk from the Inn, it's also in a prime location for delicious food, fun pubs, and cute boutiques. The views are breathtaking and makes the stay even more worth it. The beds are super comfortable and I love how the building is historical and contributes so much character to the decor. Ian and his wife made our stay so welcoming and pleasant and the breakfasts were delicious! They gave us great recommendations for restaurants and hikes in the area and couldn't have been more pleasant and kind t talk to. Definitely try the Seagull Bed and Breakfast if you're coming to the area.

    fun wood sculptures and benches on the side of the house.

We stayed in the Treehouse room, and it was absolutely gorgeous. They even left a welcome note for us with our names on it. It had a tiny kitchenette with a microwave and fridge, plus everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The room also had coffee, tea, a tea kettle, and a coffee pot, and they even emailed us in advance to ask what type of creamer we wanted in the room, including almond, oat, and half-and-half options. One of our favorite parts was the real wood fireplace. It made the room feel so cozy and special. The bed was also super comfortable and warm, and we fell asleep with the window open, which was perfect. Eric and the team also give guests access to the lobby area, where you can play games, read books, and enjoy homemade cookies and lemon bars that they leave out for everyone. It was such a sweet touch. The entire property is beautiful and open, and there is a short trail down to the beach, about three minutes from the property. Around 5 p.m., we saw locals walking their dogs and hanging out by the beach, which made it feel even more charming and peaceful. Breakfast in the morning was amazing and included with the stay. Eric explained where all the ingredients were from (local) and even accommodated gluten free guests. Overall, Allegra has everything you need, so you really do not need to bring much. It was cozy, welcoming, and such a special place to stay. Big shoutout to Eric who went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable. He drew us a map of local restaurants he recommended, all of which were amazing! We will definitely be back soon.

We did an easy self-check in and were greeted with a cute card, a small bottle of local wine, and some of the best chocolate cookies and lemon bars ever. We loved enjoying the view from our room with the ambient warmth from the wood-burning stove. The real gem was the freshly made breakfast served in the main house each morning. My husband and I were blown away by the flavors and freshness of both of our breakfasts and easily could have stayed longer for more. The staff here is very responsive, friendly, and really made us feel welcome. We absolutely would recommend this B&B to anyone looking for a quiet escape in Mendocino.

Now, for starters, when I think of a room "suite" you're expecting pretty nice amenities. You definitely want to feel like you have the comforts of home at your disposal. This room is listed as having. . . White Water Ocean Views King Featherbed Wood-burning Fireplace Mini Fridge Private Bath Tub and Shower So, let's get into it..... Firstly, I found it very easy to reserve the room via the app from Booking.com It's one of my preferred travel reservation methods, and the Inn Keeper John later reached out to confirm payment details and to charge the room just before my stay. That part was very simple. We arrived on Sat 14th around 3 ish in the afternoon to be greeted by one of the hosts named Diane. She is very welcoming and friendly. Gave us a little tour, asked if we needed anything, showed us to our room, etc. Diane gets 10 stars for her individual role within the Bed and Breakfast. Mind you, December is VERY cold in Mendocino. Some roads can be flooded. The ocean waves are angry but beautiful. It's windy and rainy. It's cold!! But I am dating a winter snow bear so she likes to feel the chill while retreating to a comfortable room. For this review, I am going to simplify it with a pros/cons list of how the experience was for 2 days, 2 nights. PROS --- Diane makes homemade cookies daily. Delicious! Delicious homemade breakfast served daily outside the room (picture) Wonderful upstairs views of the ocean tides Best homemade pesto sauce I have ever had during breakfast A very large plush king sized bed with like 12 pillows A mini fridge which is appreciated Strong fast wifi connection A seating area to eat cookies and interact with other guests Walking distance to the town of Mendocino A large enough room where we didn't directly hear too much noise above or below Up front parking right by the Inn You have a set of keys to come and go at all hours from the front locking door to your room. CONS --- Featherbed, you say? It is so plush, that you have zero support for joints. For those of us in our 40s, we went from a relaxing massage in town, to waking up with back and joint pain from it being too feathery. No support. Tub and Shower? Sure. They even have a cute lavender sleep bath salt. What could be the problem. How about that the tub only filled up with barely lukewarm water. My breath has more heat. The tub and shower wasn't cold, but it definitely did not warm us. My partner had to use the tea kettle to boil water and pour me a bath. The lamp on one side of the bed kept flickering and wouldn't turn on. We had one lamp across the room by the sofa. One small lamp on the other side of the bed. One very wobbly lamp on the table by the bay view window. And the bathroom lights. The room is dark and dreary. Oh, let's not forget the wood-burning Fireplace. I have never been so anxiety filled near a fireplace. The fireplace is the only place to really have warmth. The room itself is large and drafty so it will get cold. There's a tiny space heater behind the couch but that does nothing. You could touch it with your hand. The fireplace chain screen that is there as a safety measure so you don't have fiery embers flinging out on the carpet or worse, on you, doesn't close all the way! It is very old and outdated. Downright safety hazard! I was cold every day, and every night. I couldn't get heat from the tub, shower, fireplace, space heater or anything! Obviously, we cuddled and had the bed blankets, but then your back hurts from the pillow softness. The couch is more comfortable. I am not even going out of my way to find negativity with the stay. This is just how it went! For the price of this suite, my experience was very disappointing! I have been cold ever since! We would not stay again.

Mendocino is adorable, and has a completely relaxed vibe. The cottages are on the very west end of town so only a 1/4 mile walk down the road to Mendocino Headlands State Park with breathtaking scenery. The room was very clean, quirky and cozy decorations, and plenty of firewood is provided. The three cottages are on the same property, kind of an extended backyard, but the incredible garden and ample space made it seem very private. The proprietor was nice but not overly involved in our stay or our business. She lives on site but was pretty much absent. This is a great place to stay in Mendocino and the price is unbeatable.

The inn is right off of highway 1 but wasn't too loud, although could depend which room you stay. It is also walkable to parts of town about a quarter mile if you're willing. They provided flashlights as well if you go out at night- a nice touch! And I do recommend to see stars in unpolluted night sky!
