Mendo Bungalow — Hotel in Fort Bragg

Visiting the area for a couple of days. First, there are several units under construction (but no construction noise or anything), as they are renovating the property. Our room was a new refurbished room, which was very nice. Close to town (1-2 minute drive), has a nice 6 acre plot that is clean and well kept. Fort Bragg is

Our preferred place in Mendo was booked, so we took a chance on this new hotel. This place is located across Route 1 from town, so although it's close to town, it's almost impossible to safely walk there. We ended up driving to dinner, which was a drag. It's a newly-renovated place, so it has some luxury trappings, but there are also quite a few details that aren't thought-through. They may fix some of these with time, such as the lack of towel and coat hooks, and the serious lack of light in the rooms (just two little bedside lamps and nothing else!) The room was chilly and there's only an electric fireplace for heat. Unfortunately, the blower on the fireplace in our unit stopped working after only about an hour, so we were glad to check out the next morning before we got hypothermia! This place does have the benefit of being dog-friendly, which is great, but other places that charge $50/night/dog usually provide some amenities, such as a dog bowl and biscuits. Here they did provide dog towels, but that's it. The staff didn't seem to have much of a clue, and they pretty much shrugged when I asked how to get a cup of tea (they had teabags, but the coffee maker wouldn't work without a coffee pod in it, so there was actually no good way to make tea). Given all the great places to stay in Mendo, I don't think this place measures-up. However, since they are new, they may resolve some of these...

Stayed here in Unit #2, which has its own parking spots as it’s nestled next to Unit #1. Property is easy to find given limited roads around here. Check-in was so easy and friendly, make sure yall don’t forget the s’more’s kit in the check-in lobby! They also have few beverages and snacks for purchase. Not recommended to walk to the main streets or historic downtown from here so make sure you load up on groceries before checking in. The room itself was sooooo chic and spacious with modern amenities (faux fireplace beneath the new TV that changes colors), the heater with control, fan that’s available although likely not needed, the door entry/exit technology makes it easy, the bathroom with double vanity, separate room for toilet and hello 2 shower head standing shower! So much room for the boyfriend and I. The beds are heavenly, not a lot of noise in the evenings or mornings and slept comfortably! Nice touch with the lawn chairs facing the water and fire pit. What great value for the price. They even have rooms with double beds for those traveling with friends or families. Didn’t rate on service because didn’t need much and only stayed two nights, but arrived to an immaculately clean unit! Recommending this place with ease and would call this my go-to place...
