We loved our stay at Hill House. It is an older establishment so expect the rooms to be dated, but it was clean and comfortable which was most important to us. The staff is wonderful and very helpful. We would definitely recommend staying there.

Great location & value

Nice setting just a couple blocks from main downtown area of Mendocino and short walk to the ocean bluffs. The exterior looks charming but the interior is dated & tired. We had a pleasant stay and the price was very reasonable - just hope they keep it up better for future visits.

It’s a sweet and peaceful place to stay. Rooms are spacious and tidy. The property is preserved well, its updated but not modernized.

Large, comfortable room with garden view. Bed on the soft side and room smelled a bit musty. Still, a lovely stay.

Hill House provided a clean, quiet room, which is really all I needed. No communal aspect like a breakfast, but you cant have it all.

Very Decent Place to Stay

Easy check-in/check-out. Staff was friendly, though we did get some incorrect info about what restaurants were open. Room has a bit of a musty/old smell, but otherwise clean. The blankets are a bit thin (but there were extras available), and the towels a bit scratchy. Great location, and lovely view of sunset colors!

My room was nice and clean. The property needs lots of work to return to its glory days. Bar and restaurant are permanently closed.

4/10 Fair

An old room in an old hotel that needs MAJOR upgrades or demolition. Heater barely worked, no bedspread, no amenities! Fonad another place to stay. It was quiet, as very few rooms were occupied.

Loved the wirlpool tub. Loved our spacious room. No wifi in room... too far from server. Check in clerk very friendly and informative. Checkout clerk couldn't bother getting off of phone that was on speaker and clearly a personal call. All in all a great experience.

DownHill House Do NOT let them put you in Room #122... It is under the stairs & in front of the Ice machine. Noisy,noisy,noisy. The rooms are dated & everything is stained &/or sticky. It seems like management just doesn't care. Staff was pleasant & attentive, but if the owners don't care the hotel is going to go down hill!
