The staff was super friendly. The rooms were perfect. Keep in mind this is a super eco friendly hotel. And still no quality difference between this and any other 5 star hotel. In fact, I can say with no hesitation for our choice of experience it was better than the Fairmont in San Francisco.

For the price we paid we received NOTHING to be worth the money.Fridge was empty. Fire place was broken down. No maids coming to clean the room,which in the case of Covid, its understandable. However, the hotel could always compensate other things for the room to make the clients happy. VERY DISAPPOINTING.

Hi Daniel, Thank you for bringing your experience to our attention. We appreciate your honest feedback about our facilities, services, and accommodations and have deeply looked into your experience. We blew it: our receptionist offered you an upgrade at registration, not mentioning that we had already chosen an upgraded room at no additional cost. She wanted to give you a choice because the upgraded room was on an upper floor, not the ground floor. This was not a come-on for you to spend more money, but we think it probably sounded that way. Pre-COVID, we took people to their rooms and described features, our facilities, etc. We explained how to use the fireplace, where the matches were, how to light the fire-starting log, already on the grate, and pointed out firewood in a basket on the hearth.The fireplace wasn't broken but it wasn't the common gas logs lit with a switch. We have and will continue to address this with our team moving forward. We're sorry that your experience with us did not meet your expectations and we hope that you give us the opportunity to host you again.

Overall it’s a lovely place. It seems to be tailored for older people without families. It would be perfect to come back by myself without my family. Or for a couple to come that is health-conscious. Our son enjoyed seeing the horses, donkeys, llamas. And we enjoyed being able to have our dog on the property. There are a few strange things that we experienced. For example, they seemed strict about having reservations for the restaurant but when we ate there hardly anyone was there. Also on Saturday night there was atalented pianist playing serious Avant garde, moody music. It seems like the place could be lightened up a little as I saw a few families there with kids. Also the hostess on Saturday evening at the Ravens restaurant was rude and unwelcoming. She looked at us and asked if we had a reservation and we said that we did and we apologized for being five minutes late and she looked at her book and said yes, you are late. It just seems like a family owned inn would be more warm and welcoming than that. There was no smile or her saying welcome. Also, the vegan restaurant menu was delicious. I would ask the owners to consider that there are a lot of people with autoimmune diseases today- autoimmune diagnoses are at an all-time high now. This means that many people now have food allergies for which gluten, beans, and soy are unhealthy. Overall, the property is lovely. We enjoyed the gardens and the farm aspect. And the other patrons were quiet and kind.

Hi Meghan, We appreciate you taking the time for your thoughtful feedback, and are happy your overall experience was positive. With that said, we are taking steps to improve our restaurant’s customer service and apologize that you were not properly welcomed. That was very disappointing to read; we work extremely hard to create a joyful, positive environment for our guests (as well as our staff), and acknowledge we missed the mark on this occasion. Our reasoning for urging guests to make reservations is that, since COVID, we have had consistent staffing issues. So, while on a given night the restaurant might appear not to be very busy, our staff is, because we simply cannot fill open positions. To ensure the best possible service we regulate tables/reservations as much as possible and unfortunately have to turn people away. That hurts when you're in the restaurant business. Lastly, so glad you enjoyed the food! We pride ourselves on serving a whole plant-based take on fine dining – delicious, and also the healthiest for humans and the planet. Most of our guests are not 100% plant-based (or even vegetarian), so often have some health issues and food allergies associated with high levels of animal foods. However, we do have plenty of dishes that are soy, gluten, and bean free, and our staff nutritionist works with incoming guests as needed to customize dishes. Thanks again for your feedback and hope you return to the resort soon.

The rooms looked as great as the pictures on the website. Spacious, clean, and the decor was fabulous. We loved the plant-based restaurant. You must have the sea palm & root vegetable strudel. Dinner and breakfast were great -- and great views. I appreciate the attention to the safety of hotel guests - masking on the property and vaccination required to eat in the restaurant. I felt so safe throughout my stay.

The place is charming, with lovely décor, ambiance and landscaping. The bed was wonderful. Loved that it is pet friendly. I was not informed that the on site restaurant is vegan. Dinner the first night there, when I was too tired and hungry to go find another place to eat, made me sick. Loved the in room fireplace, but could not reach the microwave, because it was in a cabinet too high for me to reach. The handheld shower head was also too high for me to reach. (I am 5'1" tall.) Be sure to bring slippers or flip flops as the wood and tile floors are really cold in the middle of the night. Their Wi-Fi did not work on my iPhone 8 with Verizon. Only 2 restaurants open in Mendocino after the pandemic, so long wait times for meals.

Pros: excellent well kept facilities, with a beautiful well landscaped garden. Free charger provided for EVs. Well kept spa and heated pool. High quality bath-robes (on demand). Great in-room fireplace with unlimited, real-wood logs. Beautiful grand piano at the in-house restaurant which I had the pleasure of playing during dinner. Cons: No in-room slippers were provided. No aesthetician during the time of visit. It was the most expensive hotel in the area (over $500 per night), but was worth it.

Nice, not great
It was OK, the couple before us got a pretty long explanation of how to order breakfast and the full experience while we were handed an envelope and explained "3rd party buyers" so I think there's some bias. We didn't get the breakfast or wine that is stated. The 'coastal' view is pretty far given you see mostly the garden grounds and the people walking around. Not quite the views I wanted, not worth the extra price for the coastal view versus garden view.

Hi, Sorry that your experience was not great. Before our guests arrival, we email advisories specified by our County and include our breakfast ordering procedures.

Disliked: Staff & service
The property was actually located on the river with distant views of the ocean. What was unclear when booking is that this is a vegan resort. Very, very disappointed in this property especially with the premium pricing. We found the staff arrogant and pretentious. Restaurant was mediocre at best, not very creative, poorly seasoned meals.

Last free room in Mendocino for that night... booked it on Expedia. unfortunately was an incorrect rate on Expedia, the manager of the inn it was very nice and accommodated us for the incorrect rate, we had a wonderful suite with a fireplace a wonderful balcony to see the stars! we never planned to stay there, I found it that night and I think it’s going to become one of our regular spots for vacations. it has a farm with animals the breakfast is to die for: all vegetarian and dairy free and delicious! there are kayaking and cycling activities, wonderful hotel wonderful, never been more pleased!

Lovely hotel but they said they do not honor the type of room we reserved on Expedia. We paid for an ocean view we and we got a garden view...just some overgrown bushes and trees. They said we should have called the hotel not Expedia. They also said you are more expensive. Disappointing to pay $500 per night for a tiny room.
