The room doesn’t have AC. It was a bit warm but the bed was comfortable. The room was very roomy. It’s right off the highway so quick access to Main Street.

MINYING

No internet. Front desk refused to change me to a room where there was internet. People who checked in after me had rooms with internet (that means there’re rooms available when I requested the room change). I had to stay in the office to use internet multiple times. The second day after negotiating multiple times and declared I would accept it if there was no internet after they gave me a different room I got a new room with internet (they continuously said they didn’t know which room had internet which one did not. But the truth is only my floor had no internet as I walked through the property). As I worked as a front desk in hotels before, I knew they were lying and up until now I had no idea about why they would do that. Worst experience in all years of travelling around America.

It’s a good location, not my favorite stay because the heating didn’t work and if you were there during the day you could hear what sounded like elephants on the roof, we stayed on the second floor, no one was supposed to be above us. The tub was the best part.

Golfing not free if you book with hotels.com
The staff was very helpful and kind. Genuinely friendly. The room was clean and they provided additional items as needed. I thought that putt putt golf was included in the stay, but was advised that since we booked through Hotels.com and not through the hotel directly that we would have to pay for golf. I wasn’t expecting that. That was a bummer. It’s kind of why I selected this hotel.

I was very pleased by my experience. My room was up to date with decor and furnishings, the towels were fluffy, the shower was hot with plenty of water pressure, the bedding was pristine and comfortable, and everything was very clean. I would be delighted to come back anytime.

This is an older property that needs to be better maintained and updated. The staff is friendly and helpful. It lacks amenities and the walls are quite thin. It's not a bad property but it not the quality of the experience l want when traveling. The town of Ft. Bragg doesn't offer much.

OK. Accommodation was fine, but breakfast options were limited in the area, so we drove 15mins down the road to Mendocino.

We arrived at the property late at night and rang the doorbell. A friendly staff member helped us out quickly and we got our room keys in less than 5 minutes. The room is old school, but who cares, we were just going to sleep there.

There was no dining on the property. The bedding was clean as was the bathroom. Carpets were a little shabby. The motel was fine but a little expensive for what you get. I was in the area on business so I did not use the miniature golf, which might be a perk for families.
