When is "Free wifi" not free?…read more When it barely works at all... So my wife and I stayed in a pet suit, while our son was in the middle of the resort, and our daughter was at the south end. Nobody had wifi that worked well. You'd get maybe a minute or two connected, then offline. There's no AC, but the pet suite had a decent cross flow of air. The kids rooms however did not, just a small bathroom window near the front, and a sliding glass door near the back. Not really something you can securely leave open all night. The rooms themselves were clean and well maintained, offering a TV, a microwave and a mini fridge. Staff was very responsive, we called for extra towels and coffee, received them right away. Key cards seemed to be an issue for us and other guests. We had to return to the front desk several times due to non-functional cards. We saw several other guests return as well. Location is pretty nice. Right by the shore and at the south end of town. There's a handful of bikes for rent which is nice. Several places to eat well within biking distance, including a Denny's. The firepit area and BBQ's though, need to have some sort of reservation system. We had one family monopolizing one corner. All in all, a fair balance of positives and negatives except when you get to the price. You're paying on the high side, so you expect a little better. The pet room was fun though, our dog enjoyed having her own little spot to go in and out.

The location is amazing with incredible views of the ocean. Whether you get a hotel room with a view or not, you are steps away from the ocean. You can soak in the views, walk along the rugged coastline, or walk down to the beach. If you walk or ride a bike a little over a mile to Otsuchi Point (a little past Glass Beach) you will have panoramic views that are breathtaking near sunset. I loved the large jacuzzi tub, sitting out on our private balcony and watching the waves and sunset, and it was very convenient to walk our dog along the old railroad path, which is flat and paved. There is a decent size fridge in the room and a microwave, which is nice. I got a good nights rest. The only downside I would say is that there is no breakfast due to Covid. There is also some street noise since it's near the road. All in all, it's a great hotel due to the location, ocean views, jacuzzi tub in some of the rooms, private balconies in some of the rooms, and that it's pet friendly. We will definitely be back!

This property is quite tired. Minimal updating has occurred over many years. The beds are soft and…read moresaggy, carpet is old, bathtubs are small and the noise from the motors of the jacuzzi tubs is very loud in the rooms below! We thought it was a saw, sounded like someone was doing renovations above our room. No 'continental' breakfast, just coffee pods and tea bags. Agree with Doreen B - rooms are shabby. Don't expect daily room service as that must now be a thing of the past. Rates don't reflect the lack of services or condition of the property. Location is fine. Not far out of town. Does have access to the beach - with a walk through a field and then a hike down a cliff. So if your up for that? There is a paved walk/bike path that runs behind the property and is heavily used. Don't expect privacy on your little deck - if you are lucky to face the ocean. Parking is slim, but there is a public parking lot right next door that you could walk over from. The staff is great. They are well aware of the properties shortcomings. Would I come back here again - no.

The Road trip continues, before we left home on our trip I went through the days and realized I had…read moremissed booking our Sunday evening hotel. Oh...glad I checked, I thought I had booked this place, I had the screen shot but I never booked it? Turns out my reservation was at a different hotel and my confirmation probably went to my "junk" folder, so they didn't charge me for the missed reservation. Just as well...I went online and booked the other hotel I had found on line and with the room I wanted. We were married last month and this was our honeymoon hotel. Restaurant walking distance across the bridge, assigned parking. A very nice room, large and yes a spa tub looking out over the Pacific. We needed the soak after dinner and had a good rest, good mattress, very clean. We were up early for a look see at Glass beach (don't expect to find any glass) The view was Northwest Pacific perfect and a good easy trail too. Gotta dodge the fire's south off highway one, next stop is Pelican Inn in Muir Beach. Worth the price Thank you it was lovely Martin-Foodguy

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.

I stayed in the room with a king size bed, fireplace, balcony viewing the estuary and the large soaking tub. The headboard on the bed wasn't cleaned. The greasy hand prints were... discouraging... disgusting. The king size bed is very bouncy. Doesn't squeak though. The highway can be a frequent source of noise but past 9pm the town goes silent. Our dog was nicely welcomed by staff when we arrived. They gave us a doggy kit that included two dog treats, a sheet for our pup to relax on as we saw fit, and a couple of doggy waste bags. Woman at the front desk was very friendly and helpful; I think her name was Anna. One of us lost our room key and staff was eager to help us get a new key card to get into the room. I passed the cleaning staff a few times while they were cleaning other rooms and they were pleasantly kind as well. To update my review further: There was no replacement roll of toilet paper in the room and House cleaning started cleaning our room before we checked out. Front desk was annoyed when we brought this to his attention. I was going to be generous and give this place 4 stars but the lack of interest or humility by the front desk really irritated my husband and I so 3 stars is my honest review. Shame. Place has potential to be so much better.

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.

I loved the balcony, and hearing the sea lions barking in the distance was great.

Lovely property and outstanding restaurant, but rooms need updating. My wife and I have stayed at…read morethe Noyo Harbor Inn four times and keep coming back for good reason. The property itself is lovely and welcoming--especially with our dog. Staff have always been friendly and accommodating of pets, which we really appreciate. The restaurant (Harbor View Bistro & Bar / Tavern) is the real standout. We love the food, the ambiance, and the views over the harbor. It's consistently one of our favorite places to dine on the Mendocino coast.That said, the rooms are showing their age and are in need of a major refresh. On our most recent stay the bed was not comfortable, and the room overall needed a lot of TLC. Given the higher-end price point, we expected the accommodations to match the quality of the restaurant and the charming grounds.We still enjoy visiting and will likely return for the food and setting, but we'd love to see the rooms brought up to the same standard as the rest of the property.

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!

Frida has to be a busy night and No cleaning (fresh towels, etc.) on Saturday?! We shall remember that. Also, the portico has several "temporary" supports, making walking a bit hazardous, and you can no longer drive under it.. By the signs of weathering on the "temporary" supports, the repair project looks like it has been many months in progress. The lack of maintenance on this obvious area may not bode well for less obvious areas of the motel.
