Room was too warm even with window open. The inner plastic shower curtain lining was missing. this was not a problem for us but you can see the water leaking has damaged the linoleum at the corner of the tub. The teeny tiny toilet could use an upgrade to taller elongated toilet.

We enjoyed our stay in the Rivergate room at the front of the property overlooking Main Street with an ocean view beyond the historic church across the street. Spacious room and bathroom with a sitting area and fireplace. In the center of town within walking distance of restaurants, shops and hiking on the bluffs with gorgeous ocean views. Comfortable bed and friendly staff.

We loved our stay at Sweetwater Inn. The people who work there are great and helpful. We had been to the spa before, but never stayed on the property. It was nice to be able to walk to everything in town. It is perfect for couples, especially if you want somewhere you can bring your dog. The only reason I am not giving 5 stars is because the bed was a little uncomfortable, but other than that I would highly recommend this place.

Sweetwater Inn and Spa is a lovely, large, comfortable, cozy studio apartment. A full sofa neatly separates the bed/living area from the kitchen/dining area. The round dining table comfortably fits 3 people. The full kitchen is well supplied with pots, pans, etc. They deliver breakfast muffins every day. A gas fireplace cozily drives away the evening ocean chill. A large screen TV accesses lots of channels. The queen bed is comfortable. Good quality linens. We have free access to sauna and hot tub. All units beautifully set in lush gardens. And, the inn is walkable to restaurants, museums, hiking, the ocean, quiet beaches and a grocery store. This is a lovely, quiet retreat.

Sourwater

Almost all individual units, great not sharing a wall with another noisy guest. Fully equipped kitchen, grass, flowers, housed far off the street—all good. Two good restaurants and spa only a few steps away down a path—also good.However, management of this property apparently does not believe business is best enhanced by flattering and coddling guests. Guests are scolded about everything from water use to washcloth use to dishwashing. I want inn keepers who treat me like an honored guest, not one who sees me as a threat to his bottom line. The water use concerns, in particular, were disingenuous. If ownership were truly worried about “every precious drop of water,” it would not be operating a spa on this property.

Don’t expect much service from on-site management. Hunter Biden worked longer hours for Ukraine than does the management of Sweetwater.

Sweet water sweet vacation

We originally had a VRBO in fort brag through vacasa vacation rentals but they canceled on us 3 weeks before our trip.(I think vacasa is a scam)
It was a blessing in disguise as Sweet Water was awesome. Great location, great staff. Relaxing spa. World class muffins in the morning and the Luna restaurant next door is legit authentic Italian. We are in the Mendocino area every summer and you can bet we will be back at Sweet Water.
Look no further. if they have a room available, book it!

This Inn is nice and comfortable. The cottage was big enough and very clean. the location near town was perfect. A lovely Headlands walk is literally across the street and two nice restaurants are next door. It is really easy to walk to town, which is small but charming and traffic was slow.

Quaint Inn in a great location. Walking distance to all shops and restaurants. Peekaboo view of the ocean from one window in the River Gate Room. Amenities a plus: gas fireplace (could not adjust temp., though), daily muffins, tea/coffee in room, mini-fridge, microwave. The room was fairly large for the age of the house. Expedia information is not quite accurate- there is no shared deck or anywhere to sit outside unless you book certain rooms. There was no BBQ or picnic area on site. No iron/ironing board in the room and the bedding was not premium. The Inn is a bit tired and dated. It needs a refresh. The mattress needs replaced and the loveseat has seen much better days and should be replaced. The carpet needs replaced as well, while it's a No Smoking inn there were clearly burn holes in the carpet. The bathroom needs more hooks or some kind of table or shelf to set things on. While we were generally able to park out front, it would definitely be difficult as business picks up. For the location and price, I would consider staying here again.

I liked the small size, privacy, and quiet. It's located close to village and ocean.

Lovely, Peaceful Getaway

Our cottage was spotless! The location is within walking distance of coast hikes and the grocery store.

Amazing

Amazing, accommodating staff with a quiet, clean, warm place to stay! Will definitely be visiting this property soon! They even accommodated my food allergy with their morning muffins.

We got there right at the beginning of the Coronavirus shutdown. Unfortunately for us, this meant the spa was closed as was the hot tub so we really didn't get to take advantage of the amenities we had hoped for. The cottage was cute though and I would like to come back when the business is more upbeat.

Like: Beautiful location, Very good restaurant nearby

Dislikes: Difficult steep steps to room, no secondary exits from second floor, no amenities available with power out, proprietors didn’t offer much to the guests who came. No drinking water provided when electricity to water pump went off. Generator for electricity operated sporadically.
We do understand that the Northern California fire season caused much of the problem but this may become a common occurrence and proprietors will need to provide other incentives for guests to stay

The television did not work properly and kept going off on its own accord. Not good.

Bed wasn't very comfortable. Mattress was a bit lumpy and instead of a light weight comforter, the blanket provided was too thin to keep us warm. Muffins in the morning were a nice touch and the staff was friendly.

Charming B&B located in downtown Mendocino, easy walking distance to the beach, great service from the front desk with good recommendations. Can't wait to go back!

Great location, mediocre lodging.

Steep stairs. Not enough surfaces to put luggage or toiletries. A llittle table in the bathroom might help. The staff, however was wonderful. The \"bakery goods\" delivered in the morning turned out to be costco type muffins. There was mold in the bath/shower combo. The location was outstanding...so all in all, there was good and bad.

Great, friendly staff. Really enjoyed the spa services -- massage only, didn't try the sauna. The complementary muffins in the morning were a very nice touch.

The inn's staff are very friendly and helpful. The morning muffins are a thoughtful touch since there is no restaurant onsite. Our only issue was the age of the property and the small, cramped room space. We checked out a day early because it wasm't what we expected, but not because of anything intrinsically wrong with the property - it just wasn't what we hoped for.

The room was great except for maybe some updating of the appliances and furnishings.
Also the exterior of the premises could need some help, which is the case of the entire town of Mendocino.
The location is awesome. But do not take this minor negative too serious as my background is German where all historical towns are beautifully restored.

We had a very small attic room, but it was clean and packed with features. Other rooms are larger and separate from the main house. My only complaint is that our room had street parking which was inconvenient. Note: this is a bed and muffin Inn, not a bed and breakfast Inn.

Solid B&B

Great stay, room and bed were comfortable, but a bit stuffy when we first came into the room. Best massages of our life though.

Puppy Friendly Cottages

We had a blast with our new puppy in the Flower Cottage! Everything is walking distance and never touched our car. The Hot Tubs are pretty awesome as well. My only complaint was that the hot tub hours were incorrect in our room. We got ready to head to the tubs after our long drive up, only to find they closed at 9pm and not 10pm as posted.
Other than that, we loved it and will be back for sure!!
