Very clean, nostalgic feel and friendly. Close to town but not in town. The gardens are great for an evening stroll, glass of wine or just to visit with friends. I would definitely stay there again. The free breakfast is minimal, but still free, no complaints here at all.

The place is a little rustic, but has charm (we've stayed in may Ft Bragg hotels). The dog-friendly option is excellent and they don't stick you with a huge fee for pets. Waking distance from David's Restaurant, which has an incredible breakfast.
