Bodega Coast Inn

Although sold as a view of the water, it was a view of a building. Poor shower with luke warm water. Bed was fine but dated bedding. For $ 200.00 the place is a rip off.

Very very disappointed with this hotel. With over $ 260.00 we paid for a room I expected so much more. This hotel room was by far the most expensive I ever paid but they were the worst. Once we open the room, it smells muggy. I open up the balcony sliding door to get some fresh air in. They were so difficult to open so was the screen door. What’s in the tiny balcony were 2 very old green dirty plastic chairs. Everything in the room were OLD and not clean especially the carpet. Dirty spots everywhere. I have to wear my shoes walking around. Since we were having pretty hot temperatures for the past few days, I was looking for the A/​C. NONE!!! Which hotel that don’t provide A/​C? Breakfast are the normal fares. Waffles, some bread and muffins. So not worth the money we paid. To the owner, since you charge your guests so much money used it to upkeep the place! It’s worst than motel 6!

We rented the Roman Spa Room for two nights… it’s been two yrs since I’ve been here. Great customer service as always. However, I give it 2 stars because it needs a lot of updating & fixing. The bathroom sink still gets plug & takes time to drain. Other items include fragile desk table, sulfur smell from spa tub, bad odor in frig, stained white curtains at glass door, stained padded bed cover & worn/​old chairs in patio area. The plus side of this place: peace, sound of waves, relaxing in the tub, microwave, frig & parking right outside by door.

There were blood stains on the bed, and wifi kept on kicking me off. The room was very outdated. I got the room with the jacuzzi inside. The moment I turned on the jacuzzi, it had this awful smell like sulfur or another way to describe it is rotten eggs. There were a lot of parking. The tables and chair legs were almost falling apart. There were nearby restaurants. Local stores were nearby as well; however if you are looking for Walmart or Walgreens, that will be another 20 mins away. Cell phone reception was poor around the area. Overall, the stay was relaxing! Giving it two stars because having stains on the bed is a big no no, let alone blood stains.

We had a very late check-​in time. Hospitality was just that and more. The Inn-​keeper/​manager at night was very accommodating and nice. We had a fantastic stay. The room was large! Great black out blinds/​curtains, Microwave, refrigerator, small coffee pot. Breakfast was self serve and good hot cereals, etc. very close to the water

Hotel needs to be up dated. The mattress was horrible! Nice location, friendly staff.

just have to give my review after seeing several negative ones. This is the best place for your money in Bodega Bay! we have come several times and each time was worth it from the great customer service to the the room 23 with roman heart shape tub and fireplace and patio looks out to bodega bay. we went on superbowl sunday 2−07−16 which was my husbands 50^th birthday and we got to check in just before superbowl game got in tub with perfect view of tv watching the superbowl. Then went to Lucas wharf for dinner. perfect weather. love this place its our mini vacation and not have to drive far. room is wonderful everything is great. we always have a restful enjoyable time.

Staff is nice. Beds are very uncomfortable and room was dirty. The previous guests coffee grinds were in the coffee pot. No plugs to charge your phone with.

Beautiful view and VERY kind people. Nice to hot tub outdoors on a cold winter night! Quiet setting.
Also, it was very nice to be able to so quickly access the birdwatching trail, and ultimately, the bay.
Not worth the $ 229/​night, though. Ouch! Wish I’d checked reviews first
First room was not clean (food mess in freezer, cigarette butt in trash, stained linens) but they moved us with no objection.
Second room cleaner but it too was a bit rough around the edges: worn down furniture, scratched surfaces, stained upholstery

Okayyyy… I RARELY give out 2 stars for a hotel or food — 3 is my «ehhh it was just ok» rating normally. This was WAY under «just ok». so while driving home from Ft Bragg down hwy 1 we decided to stop unexpectedly for a night in Bodega tge beginning of November. First off: hotel selection in Bodega is EXTREMELY limited, so I can tell immediately that is why they are able to charge as much as they do for these outdated rooms and get away with it. We stayed here because our friends have stayed here several times during crabbing. I think our room was 39? I know it wasn’t the infamous 63 that I’ve seen mentioned in other reviews ha! Because I checked after I read the other reviews after checking in. We didn’t have a hot tub or fireplace either… Inside the room was VERY outdated… minimum 10yrs old on furnishings. And I’m being generous with that. The couch looked so rough I wouldn’t sit on it and I wore my slippers whenever walking on the floor, not once did i let my barefeet hit the deck… sooooo that should sat enough on the condition of that. And then strangely, as if a joke, our bathroom had been completely renovated recently and was fresh & sparkling clean & new. The sheets/​linens were also sparkling clean. The room did initially have a ‘musty’ smell do it, but most places right on the ocean tend to, And after opening the sliding glass door for a bit it was aired out & fine. The wi-​fi, altho «free» was non-​existant, it didn’t work once for me. As we were leaving the next day, I could see much daily maintenance had been neglected for a long time & the ice machine was out of order but I also noticed all these beautiful «shrub sculptures» — where the shrubs on the property had been carved into some pretty fantastic shapes… if only the owners had someone spend the time & $$$ that was spent on those shrubs on maintenance & updating the insides of the rooms, they’d actually have a little gem on their hands, but otherwise, I wouldn’t voluntarily come back here for the night… If you have no other choice, you’ll find a room here that is SAFE to stay, but next time, if we are trying to kick back, hang out in Bodega for Vacation, we’ll try one of the other few places. So 1 star because I have to & 1 star for clean sheets, a tv that worked & an updated & clean loo. :)

This place wasn’t great. One star because they were kind enough to change our room for us, but for the cost ($ 200+/night) for a room where I was too scared to sit on the toilet seat… it just wasn’t worth it. The place needs to be gutted. Views are good but rooms smell horrible and are not clean. Bathrooms and ceilings have noticeable water damage. It’s gross.

Expectations here are everything. Here is the good and the bad.
The Good; the staff, the location, the view (great).
The Bad; the rooms are a bit dated and worn. The beds are much less than comfortable. The worst is the pillows, MAKE SURE YOU BRING YOUR OWN PILLOW. The ones they supply SUCK.
All in all, the place is nice. There are other places in bodega. This place is fine, just set your expectations to the correct level.

AVOID THIS PLACE!
Review of our stay in room 63 on 8÷7÷2015.
1. The carpet and room reeked of urine. When I bent down towards it to pick something up, the smell was so bad, I almost passed out.
2. The heart-​shaped spa tub was filthy. When I went to use it, I turned on the jets in the tub, an awful, putrid smell came out (like sulphur smelling). along with this hundreds of brown particles. disgusting.
3. The couch was soiled and under the couch cushions, there was hair, dirt, dead bugs, and also coins.
4. The manager gave me a can of «odor repellant» to help alleviate the smell. That did not help.
5. Overall that room was so rank that I did not sleep all night — I actually considered sleeping in my van that night. We were given a discount but were still charged for the room.
6. The shower door was broken and we could not easily open/​close the shower door.
7. Various appliances or fixtures needing repair.
8. Wallpaper peeling off the walls.
The hotel charged a premium rate of $ 229/​night plus a $ 30 pet fee. However, it sure does not look like they are using those funds to sanitize the rooms, or shampoo the carpets, or keep up on repairs.
Room 62 was right next to us. Those people complained to us over their patio fence also about how rank their room was.
After much respectful conversation, the manager did allow us to leave with paying only $ 100 and to cancel the other two nights we had planned. I’m not sure who the owner of the property is but they need to do a better job investing in maintenance and helping empower their team in a positive way. I had a feeling that the manager’s hands were tied.
The free breakfast was decent and because we got their early it was ample and very clean. But they have a rule that you cannot take the items to your room (which I personally think is dumb) They offer Wi-​Fi but the signal was so weak we could not connect. I recognize that the wi-​fi is not the hotel’s fault though.
AVOID!
Instead go visit the wonderful people at Bay Hill Mansion. They were full when we tried to move to them but they were sweet, helpful and kind & pet friendly.

Nice location and views. Inconsistent people skills at the front desk. Check in was good and early morning clerk was fun.
Room was ok if you don’t mind plugged sink and burned out light bulbs. There was only one sheet of kleenex and no back up. Walking distance to a good restaurant on the water. Experience was good but attention to detail was lacking. The check out young lady, seemed to care less and made me think, she would not have anyone fix.

This had to be the worst place my wife and I have stayed in our 18 years of marriage. Management– please install some new carpet :(

Where to begin, I orginally booked this hotel friday to sunday to surprise my hubby, who fell ill. Then I had no choice to cancel and the innkeeper was so nice and helpful he didn’t charge me the cancellation fee. Saturday morning came and he was feeling better and I told him about our rooms and I had cancelled them, so he called and got us a room and there was a Indoor spa room available, so he took it! Loved it!!! Omg I would stay here again a million times! And not to mention close to everything you could possibly need.
Breakfast was awesome! A little bit of everything!
Very clean sheets, and very helpful staff!

Good: location, view. high ceiling for top queen room. Nice people. $ 139.00 weekday.
Bad: warn down. Broken hinges, coffee pot has last tennants grounds, sinks plugged, broken toilet sink. Light bulbs burnt out, smells musty.

We have stayed here several times. They are systematically repairing the issues that the hotel has. They have not raised rates either.
This is indeed one of the best lodging values, if not the best in the area.
Do not come for the breakfast as it is very sparse. The Room alone versus what other area hotels charge is the attraction.

Couldn’t ask for anything better than this place. My wife and myself took my 4month old baby and had a great experience. Great and friendly as can be staff. Called ahead and asked for a room with a view, and got it. Slept good. Within walking distance of a scenic walk along the bay. I spent majority of my time on the deck with a view of the bay.

The lady at the front desk was super nice and very helpful! The room was just ok, great view not the cleanest. I think the rooms are almost there the furniture needs to be cleaned and probably the carpets. Our room looked like someone just got out of the bed, it was super wrinkled and laid in when we got there. The toilet wouldn’t flush and ran all the time. The people up stairs from us must have been smokers because they walked in and out of the slider all night! It was so loud… that was really bad! The whole experience wasn’t bad and I would go back just wanted to tell it like it is for future people thinking about staying there. Dont expect 4 star
