I've stayed in some flea-bag hotels, but this one takes the prize because they're soooo dishonest about it. This place actually had centipedes falling from the bathroom air vent on our heads while we sat on the john! There's no manager on duty, so don't bother asking for one. The "towels" are torn dirty rags. If you have a coupon... More

The staff were nice and helpful. The grounds were beautiful and kept up well. Rooms were clean but older - could use a refresh and new comforters. Location great - we are walkers so walked to ocean and into town multiple times. More

We bought a 2 night stay (ocean view room w/king bed and free wine) on Groupon for $165 - the pics on Groupon were great (only to find out later they are the view from their sister hotel). We should have checked Yelp prior to purchasing this trip; for that I blame myself, but only partly. When we booked the... More

As other reviewers, we stayed at the Hill House Inn for two nights in an "Ocean View room" (with a bottle of wine --- quite decent zin, also) on a Groupon coupon. It was a special occasion (birthday for boyfriend) which I'd planned well in advance. He didn't even know where we were going until a few days ahead. I... More

We purchased two nights through Groupon, as did the couple we traveled with. The room was ok, although the toilet tended to spit water at times. Our main complaint was with the continental breakfast included with the room. Both days nothing was ready at 7:30 as advertised. The first morning, when we finally got coffee, it was only luke warm,... More

We drove into mendocino without rerservations and expectations. As we made the loop through the town a took in the lay of the land we chose the "Hill House" and were not disapponted. The 2nd floor room had a wonderful view of the sunset as we kicked back on our balcony. While the rooms need some updating, our King room... More

We are happy to know that the Groupon promotion was successful in creating new guests for Hill House that may not have had the opportunity to enjoy our facilities in the past. We also like to know when we fall short in regards to the ice bucket/housekeeping. We thank all of our guests for the kind comments and we hope... More
