Nice, quiet location, in a harbor on the ocean. Hotel has a vintage vibe, with all the modern amenities. Owner/Operator adds a personal touch and has a flair for taking everything about the property to the next level. Just walk around and notice all the subtle details. Excellent!

Beautiful location , old world charm. Great welcome to hotel to enjoy a 2 night stay. Beautiful appointed room ,however should be noted that the bathrooms are a bit dated . This didn’t change our minds however I think it should be noted . Also as food offerings are limited in this quaint village best to maybe stock up on snacks drinks & also your gas . It’s a beautiful place on the Pacific Northwest. At the bottom of hill is pier place great for drinks dinner .

Great Service

Karen at the desk was awesome. It was my wife’s birthday and we forgot the champagne back home. Not only did Karen suggest a bath bomb that my wife loved, she had some great selections of champagne on hand! I picked out a bottle and Karen brought it up to the room on ice with the bath bomb gift wrapped! Oh…. all while keeping it a secret from my wife so it looked like I planned it for months! Thanks Karen.

One of the best views on the coast. Quiet and calm, a cool hotel right on the water. I would love to come here just to hang out in the rooms again. Most of the rooms have ocean view. The place is located on a quiet bay with a few cool restaurants and a pier right next door. Most of the restaurants / coffee shops are closed Monday and Tuesday so be warned! Loved it, will be back.

My husband and I enjoyed meeting Karen, the owner, when we checked in. She renovated the property and she did such a nice job, from the cozy rooms, to the landscaping and finally to the Continental Breakfast which included fresh fruit , bagels and cream cheese, biscotti for your coffee. When I’m in the area again, I’m staying here.

Karen and Cliff and Gina were very welcoming, kind, and set the tone for a relaxation, peaceful get away. Karen’s room service was prepared tastefully and thoughtfully. Cliff was everywhere around that property keeping the outside looking tranquil and friendly. Gina was very personal and accommodating. There is not much to do around the Point Arena area, but staying here, we weren’t in a hurry to do anything other than walk, listen to and watch nature, and enjoy the comforts of our lovely spacious room and patio. It was a perfect spot to just breathe and get away!
