Sweetwater Inn and Spa

The location and ocean view are the highlights.

The staircase up to the 2nd floor rooms is steep and narrow. Guests need to be fit enough to navigate them, especially while carrying luggage.

Our group rented 3 cottages for our 5 couples, plus 1 dog. Complimentary fresh muffins were tasty.

Would have preferred separate sleeping quarters for couples (not living room) and convenient Bathroom locations (one cottage had the Bath upstairs; another downstairs, past where a couple was sleeping.

I received my money back.

The Sweetwater Inn and Spa was grossly mis-represented on your website. I was to have a queen bed with ocean view, I got a full size bed with no view. Needless to say I was very disappointed in the your representation of the Inn.

Friendly helpful staff and centerally located.

Not really.

We had a wonderful stay at Sweetwater Inn and Spa. The room was spacious, comfortable, and had all the essentials we needed. While it could benefit from a few updates and a fresh coat of paint, the overall experience was relaxing and enjoyable. My son especially loved his time at the spa. The location was perfect—peaceful, charming, and close to everything.

Room could use some updates

Loved the delivered baked goods. Loved the hospitality. Loved the setting.

The homemade muffins delivered to the door in the morning were such a nice touch. Sweetwater preserves the feel of Mendocino as it was 40 years ago. An amazing headlands hike is right out the front door. Accommodating and friendly staff. Thank you Ann. Great stay.

Maybe the coffee maker. It didn’t have a light on it when it was turned on. That may have been a safety concern though?

Great location close to places to eat and fun little shops. Also, they delivered delicious pastries every morning AND they even had vegan options.

The stairs to our room were a little steep, not a problem for my husband and I but less able people might have a problem with that room.(we were in Rivergate) however I saw many other options at this property so all you would need to do is double check if you were booking a ground floor or not.

Friendly and attentive staff, muffins in the morning, good location, use of sauna.

Some windows w/o screen and not fully functional.

Very helpful and friendly staff.

Construction between Mendocino and Fort Bragg makes that drive time consuming. Area lacks "normal" stores. For example, I forgot to pack underwear. There was no place to buy simple items like this. I don't need hand crafted underwear made of free range alpaca linen that costs $70 a pair. Going to guess locals utilize Amazon for many items.

Excellent location.

We would have liked to have a complete breakfast, and not just a muffin at 8:30, after we had already left for the day.

Delicious muffin in the morning, coffee maker in the room. Great!

Upstairs rooms in vintage house so stairs steep but.to be expected in 1800s house!

The location was perfect for the music festival. The morning pastries were delicious. Very quiet at night.

Loved it all.

Loved Mendocino. Sweetwater Inn is cozy and quaint...Limited kitchen amenities, bath quarters a little cramped but generous bedroom and bed. Parking can be a little dicey betting in and out of the driveway. Very little contact with staff. Diana did swap us to a more accessible room.

Great location, easy parking and check in, friendly host, private hot tub, fenced yard for dog, very clean, loved muffins delivered to door for breakfast.

Cottage is too small for two people, but would be fine for one person. Refrigerator is too close to floor, have to bend over to use it, and it didn’t hold enough.

Sheer, wrinkled curtains with no privacy. Cramped room up tall, narrow stairs. Uncomfortable hammock like bed. “Pastries” were dry muffins delivered too late for breakfast. Coffee was undrinkable. Watered down the soap and shampoo to an unusable state. Had cheap soap in an ECOS bottle that smelled like gasoline. The community hot tub was not available because they locked the doors.

The location was excellent

Breakfast was served very lateThe bed was super uncomfortable The stairs were difficult We had to ask for coffee cups etc no stir sticks no measuring cup

The muffins were delicious and gluten free; the tower was cool and fun; very comfy bed; and the staff was so helpful with my pup. The redwood tower is larger than many apartments I have lived in--it's basically a whole house to yourself.

LOCATION WAS GOOD for walking. Gardens were nice. Hot tub was good.I dropped credit cards on leaving. These were returned.

Our tower was shabby and tiny. Kitchen was tnier and had minimal furnshings. Bathroom was tiniest. Can't imagine squeezing 6 people into this space!! DEFINITELY NOT WORTH THE PRICE OF ADMISSION. TV KEPT HAVING TO REWIND.

Everything was beautiful and clean. We enjoyed the great location and the gardens. Also, the breakfast pastries were great from Goodlife Cafe. Last, our queen bed was comfortable.

When I chose the room I was under the impression that the second bed was not a sofa bed. Also, if the sofa bed was longer and more comfortable it would have been fine, but it sagged, was too short and very squeaky when my daughter turned.
