10/10 Excellent
"We had a really enjoyable two-night stay at the Bodega Bay Inn. Leslie & Pete, the managers, were great hosts & created a very welcoming atmosphere. The Inn is located close to the highly rated Terrapin Cafe, a cute gift shop (Sea Lemon) with unique gifts & rustic coffee shop. It is not far from many beaches & walking trails."
