I booked 2 rooms for 2 nights at this "inn" after seeing pictures of it and reading it's description on it's website. First, they advertise a restaurant in the name, but their restaurant has been closed for a while. Their complimentary breakfast had 3 food items on it - stale bagels, make-your-own waffles, and a bowl of apples. As for... more

First, the lady who works evenings is a gem. The young man who works days - not so much. We checked in very late after the Pacific Coast Highway proved to take even longer than expected. The nice lady was waiting for us and had tried to call to see if we were alright. She made every effort to find... more

We stayed 1 night on our way back from the Redwoods to SF. Cute little town. Our room was adequate. We did have outlets in the bathroom and a good sized room. There was a complimentary breakfast that we enjoyed on our way out of town. more

After a long drive up the PCH from San Fran we arrived at the HIil House Inn... immediately our (my) hopes were dashed of any real view of the water... Where was "Cabot Cove"???? The Hotel is in need of some updating... and was the first hotel we had ever stayed in (of any class) that did not have an... more

It's been a while since I stayed at the Hill House Inn, but this being one of the worst stays I have ever had, I felt I should try to help and warn others not to stay there if they have a choice. I certainly wish I had chosen a different place for my one night there! I have stayed... more

Nothing to distinguish this hotel from any other except that it's in beautiful Mendocino. Accomodations were motel-like. It was a little weird to be so close to the cemetery with the creepy old guy wandering back and forth outside and the New Age religious ceremony upstairs from reception. The restaurant was closed at the time. To be honest, we were... more

I was very disappointed in the Inn. You look at the pictures and it looks great. The room smelled musty and the furnishings were old. There are better places to stay and cheaper. more

The Hill House Inn is a really nice place to stay. I highly recommend it! The service is awesome (Theresa from San Antonio ROCKS!). The oceans views are spectacular! The hotel is walking distance to the downtown area. What more could anyone else want. more

I love Mendocino and was looking forward to staying at the Hill House Inn with my family after reading the reviews on Tripadvisor. We arrived late to the hotel (around 11:45 PM) because we got sidetracked at Six Flags (it was my daughter's 10th birthday and when we saw the huge roller coaster on our way to Mendocino, we just... more

The property is beautiful as you drive up. The main entrance and lobby is pretty impressive. We visited shortly before Christmas. There was hardly any staff there, we had to wait in reception for a few minutes before someone appeared. It took them some time to find our reservation which we'd made on Expedia the day before. The staff weren't... more
