GLENDEVEN INN & LODGE

Lovely place, wonderful rooms, fantastic staff

Sad to report our disappointment at our visit in April -- sad because we honeymooned here in 1983 and have returned at least once every year since. Breakfasts were always a highlight when this was Glendeven, but not so on our recent visit. The egg dishes were rubbery and seemed to have been previously prepared and reheated, and the pastries had a mealy texture. We were also disappointed that the new owners did not provide any in-room housekeeping services for the duration of our stay. While it makes sense to cut back on some of the traditional services (for example, daily sheet changes), the total absence seems insupportable (particularly at these premium prices). But perhaps most distressing was the lack of any response at all to the review we provided to the inn immediately after our stay (a review that the inn solicited and in which we voiced the same concerns discussed above). We were left with the feeling that no one cares about the guests' experience, and we'll stay elsewhere the next time we visit Mendocino.

Absolutely beautiful destination! All of the flowers were in bloom, and it felt simply magical. There are several trails right off the property that lead to cliff side overlooks, the beach, and the woods. The staff was super friendly, and having farm fresh breakfast delivered right to my door was so nice. Highly recommend visiting this property - you will be glad that you did!

Delightful staff!

Such a cute place to stay! The room was extremely clean and I loved having the fireplace with premade wood and newspaper bundles ready to use. The llamas were adorable and so fun that you can feed the chickens. Wine hour was a nice addition with yummy snacks as well right before my massage I booked there (which was also great)! There was also yummy, fresh breakfast delivered to your door in the morning. Highly recommend!
