A decent budget find in the Mendocino area, the Pine Beach Inn has its ups and downs. The price is good (we paid about $75 a night) and the location -- south of Ft. Bragg and north of Mendocino -- was convenient. This place should really be called a motel, however, instead of an "Inn." GOOD STUFF: - "private beach/cove"... more

This place was listed as a three-star motel in last year's AAA book, Traveling with Pets. We are not snooty travelers, just want something clean and functional. We travel with a standard poodle so booked a room in the "pet building". We couldn't believe AAA gave this a three-star rating. The decor was old. The lamps between the beds were... more

We spent 2 nights here with 3 young children. When we arrived I wasn't sure I would be comfortable - it looks like it was decorated in the 70's. I got over it fast. Why? Because the room was HUGE & fit our 2 pack n play's, the room was clean. Outdated doesn't mean dirty. The sunset views off of... more

Our family had a great time. The Inn may be older, but a short scenic path to a beautiful little beach was faboulous. It is a sandy beach, great for swimming. The rooms were clean. We loved the fact the inn was off the path and nicely landscaped. We had a great time playing tennis as well Breakfast was coffee,... more

This hotel was the best balance of price, location and amenities for us. I booked a room same day, sight unseen after finding nothing on Expedia in the area. It's not along the crummy motel strip in Fort Bragg (which is good), but also not that close to the town of Mendocino. It's lind of out on its own. I... more

We were going to go to Ft. Bragg for the Whale Festival/Beer Tasting, so someone else booked this room for us. He was told I needed a room that is wheelchair accessible with a roll-in shower and emailed us that he found one at this place. Just to be certain, I called prior to confirm and the woman at the... more

Our family stayed here for leisure. I too was misled by their website. The photos on their site presented the rooms as decent. When we arrived, we were so disappointed. The property was old and needed a lot of updated. The room was old...and dark and dingy. We got one of those partial ocean view rooms. It was just disgusting.... more

My Family and I went up to FortBragg just to getaway from the bayarea for a weekend. It was beautiful. very sunny. The property has tennis court, which can be used,but we decided to have lunch on the beach instead. So the layout of the PBI is pretty it has one set facing the ocean and the other two facing... more

This is a great value for a pleasant hotel in a terrific location. Our room (no. 33) was large, with two double beds, a nice view of the lawn through a sliding glass door, and very clean despite being dog friendly. The ambiance is somewhat motel-like, but in a parklike setting with a nice short walk to an attractive protected... more
