Jarred at the restaurant packed me a dessert knowing I was full, which I really appreciated. The room also had chocolate covered strawberries and sparkling wine waiting for us, which was a great birthday touch. My only issue was the last night. When we got back after a long day, there were no other charging spots available, so we used the charger near our room. Our Tesla was actively charging with an adapter. Around 8 that evening, I was already in bed when the front desk called and then knocked asking us to move the car so another guest could use that charger. Since it was not a Tesla charger, I think there may have been an assumption that we were just parked there, but the car was actually charging. To me, if a car is actively charging, common sense would be to let it finish. If it was fully charged and still sitting there the next morning, I would completely understand bringing it up then. Asking us to move that evening while the car was actively charging felt like poor judgment, especially since there were no other charging spots available when we got back. I did move the car a few minutes later, but it was frustrating and not a great way to end an otherwise really good birthday stay. Overall, I would still recommend the hotel. Great staff, great restaurant and a very nice stay.

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.

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.

This time was the worst and we will never be back again. These are the reasons why: there is no room service unless one asks for it; our room #19 was disturbed by someone on the property replacing the roof right out side our window; the rate includes breakfast and the service was so bad that on our second night we bought breakfast at a nearby cafe; we had a classic drink (gimlet) at the bar and I had to tell the attendant how to make it; the physical plant needs major attention, very tired. The final incident sealed the deal for me. I went to the front to request a meet with management to address the constant hammering--never a response! It is very sad for us because we used to love this place.

It's really unfortunate how the Brewery Gulch Inn has declined. I've stayed at this B&B several…read moretimes over the past 20 years and the current (offsite and very distant) ownership group is quickly putting the final nail in the proverbial coffin. I'll start with the biggest issue. A total lack of transparency. When we booked our multi-nite stay, there was no notice of ongoing construction on the exterior deck AND the desk clerk said nothing about it when we checked in. The noise was off and on all day, including weekends. I'm not simply referring to hammering and sawing. The crew was playing music and SINGING along...right outside our windows. When we complained about this to 3 different desk clerks, all claimed ignorance and/or that they had "no control" over the situation". Similar situation during breakfast, when we were told they were out of 2-4 items on the menu EVERY morning. Regarding the menu, the entre descriptions were generally incorrect as what we were served never matched the entre description on the menu. Update the menu! The lack of communication among and between staff was remarkable and led to missed accommodations, confirmations or simply not getting a response at all. We learned quickly that we needed to tell every single staff member that we could find about any concern or question we had. Ridiculous. Regarding staff, I will give them the benefit of the doubt and simply assume that they are struggling, greatly, obtaining and/or retaining staff. The staff seemed very poorly trained on most functions, including basic customer service. They were pleasant, but uninformed often incapable, and totally unaccountable. This is a management issue, 100%. One of my fondest memories of the Brewery Gulch Inn has always been the setting and the current management is systematically destroying it. A casual look around the property, let alone a stroll, and you will see piles of debris, construction, or otherwise, dilapidated or decaying sitting areas, unkempt landscaping, and a general lack of attention. For those of us who remember the Brewery Gulch Inn from years past, this is one of the saddest parts of my review. On the positive/neutral side, the rooms are fairly well maintained (shower fixtures, light fixtures need attention), carpet is overdue for replacement). Housekeeping is attentive and thorough. For an Inn on the Mendocino coast that's charging upwards of $800-900 per night, depending on the room and season, it's shocking the entity that owns the Brewery Gulch Inn is allowing this to happen (and after talking with some other establishments in the area, I felt like the last to know). In summary, there are many locations to choose from in the area that provide a setting with service that match the price. The Brewery Gulch Inn is not one of them. Buyer beware.

The room is very well appointed, coat rack, iron, hairdryer and some kitchen items like a bit of silverware, coffee mugs and wine glasses. The couches recline, and the TV is hidden up top of the fireplace!! Romance by the Sea, lives up to its name with the many sparkling surprises.

Heaven on earth!! Hands down, favorite place I've ever stayed…read more I planned this trip almost 6 months ago when I committed to run my first ultra -- Mendocino 50K. I noticed the Seaside cottage was located near town and I was drawn to the "penthouse" for its spa/jacuzzi tub which I thought would be delightful after running 31+ miles. The room surpassed my expectations with breathtaking views of the Mendocino headlands. I appreciated the fantastic location ~0.5 mi short walk to town and the luxurious, comfortable bed. Mel is the best host and so many thoughtful touches like a welcome basket, coffee and even binoculars to check out wildlife. I've never felt so relaxed and happy. I love Mendocino and the Seaside cottage. Definitely returning -- highly recommend

I started to approach "wheezing" phase, took my arse outside the tent and it got better. We stayed in L5. Mildew/mold sickness is totally real and can cause serious problems; I'm not trying to scare anyone, but simply bring awareness. I know, as it took me months to recover from mold intoxication from 2024. MG needs to revamp their shower facilities as there is black mold in tile work and floor. Bigger ventilation will kick it. I was overwhelmed with a waft of mildew when I opened the shower door. Also MG, you guys really need to stay on top of keeping the bathroom(s) clean. I encountered disgusting habits from females. So gross...too nasty to mention. I don't understand humans. Be clean and respect others. If you don't mind screaming kids running through your tent area, damp camping, and icky bathroom behavior, cool. If you do, skip it.

It's the perfect escape from everything and totally affordable. We stayed in the garden studio on weekdays for only $70/night. You can't beat that price for any room that's actually in the tiny town of Mendocino. There's no breakfast served at the cottages but you're only a short walk from downtown Mendocino which has plenty of coffee, food options, and great art galleries. 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.

Just magnificent! There's a good sized living room, full kitchen and refrigerator, a small 4 seater dining area, a bedroom (almost entirely taken up by a queen bed) with a sliding door that opens onto a balcony and a full bathroom. I asked for decaf coffee ahead of time and that was waiting for me together with a small bottle of white wine from a local winery. There is no internet unless you connect to the property's wifi which is more than adequate - about 60 mbps in this bungalow. The bungalow temperature is controlled by a thermostat and a self-igniting gas fireplace. These are the plus-es. On the minus side, the balcony had no view to speak of at all, looking mostly at the exit road and the side of the bungalow in front of the Albion. (I think the view from the other bungalow balconies is better.) The furniture was old and very worn. The couch/ pull out bed in the living room was hard and not particularly comfortable to sit on watching TV. The biggest negative was my bathroom (but only the bathroom) was crawling with ants. When I mentioned it to the property contact they were quick to say they'll address but, unfortunately, it was time for me to leave before they could. (My fault for late notification to them). In all, it is a comfortable (not luxurious) stay in a spectacularly beautiful area at a reasonable price. It's a solid 3* accommodation in a 4-5* setting at a reasonable price.

When we come home from dinner I go to turn the light on in the porch area and it's out. So I again email the innkeeper and he responded quick and said he would have the manager of the day call me tomorrow. So I get a call from one of the owners who didn't seem shocked and was semi apologetic. This cabin was over $400 a night and I would expect a clean and safe room. I asked for a discount and was offered a discount on a future stay and I said I would not be going there again and all he said was "okay and bye" and hung up. So some other thing's wrong in this cabin, slider door to patio, lock broken so the lock is a stick. Shower head is about to come off the wall. I will post pictures of that. The entire property is very unkempt, spider webs and weeds everywhere. Not worth the price we paid.
