Hill House Inn

This place must have been something back in the day, you can tell it was once a beautiful destination. But, the years have not been kind to Hill House Inn, and it is in a sad state. First issue, upon arrival we found out that they no longer have cable and are in the process of getting a new carrier, so, no TV. To be fair they do state that in the confirmation e-mail, but we somehow missed it. Refrigerators are not provided in the rooms, but my husband is an insulin dependent diabetic so we had to have a refrigerator. We were able to purchase one for $20.00. The restaurant and bar are no longer open which was disappointing. From the outside to the inside, everything is so run down. It was warm and we wanted to open the windows, but they have no screens on them, and unfortunately ou

We stayed one night and found this place really nice. Sylvia at the reception was very friendly and welcoming. We had 2 queen size comfortable beds in a very large room. Clean and quiet. Yes, it is old and the curtains need to be replaced, but the place has charm and the location is the best.

Walked in for a room after a long day without reservations and received great service. Our room was comfortable and I was able to take a hot bath. The lighting was not good for reading or writing. Mild perfume odor. We had sliding doors on the other wall but no screen to let the fresh air in. Yes, the place needs some refurbishing. We loved the nostalgic vibe of it. Morning coffee was excellent and just a short walk to see the beautiful town. We loved it.

My partner and I have stayed here three Augusts in a row for a standing Mendocino family reunion. The rooms are always clean, service is consistent and reliable, and the location can't be beat. Although there aren't a lot of amenities, I always come back here for the consistent rooms, helpful staff, and for being the most affordable option close to the downtown area. After our most recent trip, the Inn's staff went above and beyond to return to me an item I left behind in the room which I greatly appreciated. I would recommend staying here.

Being fans of Angela Lansbury and "murder, she wrote", we were excited to stay at Hill House. Most of my daughter's wedding party was staying there. Checking in on Friday was easy. Sylvia was friendly, helpful and informative. We loved our vintage, comfortable, spacious room 109 with the garden view. The negatives were we could not get the TV to work properly, there was no mini fridge and the low to the floor toilet situation in the bathroom was almost unbearable. My 86 y.o. mother had a difficult time trying to maneuver in the toilet/tub area. We wished there could have been a Continental breakfast in the lobby to go with the delicious coffee they had available. Also. it would have been a huge plus if the restaurant upstairs was open. You had to trek into town if you wanted food. All in a
