It’s a good location, not my favorite stay because the heating didn’t work and if you were there during the day you could hear what sounded like elephants on the roof, we stayed on the second floor, no one was supposed to be above us. The tub was the best part.

This is an older property that needs to be better maintained and updated. The staff is friendly and helpful. It lacks amenities and the walls are quite thin. It's not a bad property but it not the quality of the experience l want when traveling. The town of Ft. Bragg doesn't offer much.

OK. Accommodation was fine, but breakfast options were limited in the area, so we drove 15mins down the road to Mendocino.

We arrived at the property late at night and rang the doorbell. A friendly staff member helped us out quickly and we got our room keys in less than 5 minutes. The room is old school, but who cares, we were just going to sleep there.

There was no dining on the property. The bedding was clean as was the bathroom. Carpets were a little shabby. The motel was fine but a little expensive for what you get. I was in the area on business so I did not use the miniature golf, which might be a perk for families.

Had to stay in part of the hotel that was across the street- because somehow they thought we had a pet… mini golf wasn’t included in the price of the hotel- it was still $7 per person- very misleading. Wanted a receipt for my $100 deposit- but couldn’t get one…

The hotel rooms are super well insulated, you can't even hear a car engine start outside. The only downside is that there is a grab and go breakfast, but no sit down continental breakfast.
