We had a Reimeriner for 14 years. Chloe was more family than most of our cousins and in-laws. She spoke with us, the way that dogs do. She things about each us that none of us know about each other. And since she was getting a little long in the tooth, we wanted to take one last Chloe vacation before... more

Our stay at the Stanford Inn was beyond our expectations. The service was very friendly and helpful, and the Inn came with all sorts of nice surprises such as cookies in our room each day, a fantastic complimentary tea service (with awesome baked goods) and a full complimentary breakfast each morning. Dinner was great too. Best of all was our... more

We could had a delightful 3 days and everything was perfect. I traveled with my spouse who is disabled and the staff could not have been more attentive and helpful. The pool and hot tub were an added bonus that my husband could enjoy. We were also very impressed with the Inn's recycling efforts, their dedication to sustainable farming and... more

We booked five rooms at the Stanford Inn to celebrate a 60th anniversary (no children - all adults). The location is spectacular. The service, particularly the front desk, aloof and cold. No walking or hiking maps at front desk. Glasses in room never picked up or cleaned. Breakfast was almost inedible. Service in the restaurant was very sloppy and slow... more

We received harassing phone calls about guests smoking at the Inn during our stay and were threatened with a $400.00 fee if the Inn found a cigarette butt near or around our room whether we are responsible or not! Blatant and open discrimination against smokers but they do encourage pets and wood burning fireplaces in each room.... Great place for... more

If falling asleep at the sound of a crackling fire does not appeal to you, then probably this is not your hotel. If you cannot survive 24 hours without your cell phone, then maybe reconsider the trip and stay in San Francisco. I was guided to the Stanford inn by the Mendocino forum: thanks so much for the suggestion. The... more

I stayed one night at the Stanford Inn on a recent road trip down the Oregon & California coasts and found the Stanford Inn to be among the top two places we stayed. We arrived around 9:00 p.m. after a very long day, and appreciated the attentive, friendly staff at the front desk. Even my 14 year old son commented... more

Because I fell in love with an inn depicted in a long ago film, "Same TIme Next Year," my husband and I recently stayed at the Stanford Inn for two nights. Thank goodness we did not sign up for more. I've just read a few reviews of disappointed fellow travellers, and completely resonate with their problems with the front desk... more

Big money, but it delivers - awesome view, friendly staff (ask them for just anything!), amazing location, lots of fun amenities, plus the essential (good coffee in the room). The breakfast is vegetarian, very satisfying, fun shopping in the lobby. I visited the glasshouse atrium jaccuzi, open 24hrs, for a middle of the night secret dip. more

After doing much searching on the internet, we decided to stay here due to the fact that they have a pool (one of only a few in the area) that we knew the kids would enjoy. We were NOT disappointed! The hotel itself is located on a gorgeous piece of property...organic, self-sustainable gardens, horse pastures, resident llamas, and only a... more
