Mendo Bungalow

10/10 Excellent

"Mendo Bungalow was a charming little stop on our road trip. It was cozy and clean. Loved that there was a fan in the room. We felt safe enough to leave the windows open. Very close to downtown area where there is amazing views and charming shops/restaurants. "

Joshua Grindle Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The hosts were very friendly and helpful, eager to please. They gave great suggestions of where to go in town. The building is historical so revuew is taking this into consideration. Our room (south) really needed an extra table to be able to sit at or place our suitcase on. There was plenty of room for one The bed was incredibly comfortable. The location was close enough to town to walk but we drove due to rain. A nice place if you feel historical. Breakfast was decent, not over the top though "
