Catharine, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We were pleasantly surprised with our first stay at Benbow Inn, especially with the wonderful patio for summer dining. The food was delicious and the wait staff very attentive. We would come here again!
Ronald, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Gorgeous property, excellent staff and service
Diane, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Lovely building, great staff plus a brilliant setting. Rooms and common areas need some investment as they are definitely carrying an older vibe. Great place to sit and chill
Ian, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Expensive food choice at the restaurant but food was fine. Breakfast was terrible though. We got 2 little poorly tasting waffles for $16. The room was big looking over the river so quiet at night. Could be such a beautiful hotel with a little investment.
Marie, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Quiet and secluded property. 2 miles from Garberville, CA

Beautiful Historic Inn!!
Janet, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This is a beautiful property near the Avenue of the Giants. The king plus bunk bed room was enormous. The style is like an early 1900's mansion/castle, the room decor matched, but it didn't feel at all run down or aged. The bed was very comfortable. It had a bunk bed in a separate room for my two kids. The grounds are just as amazing as the hotel. You can walk around and check out the river. We are a great breakfast on the huge back patio. Overall it was a magical last minute find during our road trip.
Robert, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Beautifully site by the river.
Richard, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Old time decor and a fun destination. The on site restaurant and bar was really good. My only issue, which is always my issue, it was expensive, but in this case it was worth it.
Janet, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Bar staff were more interested in having fun with their bar friends than waiting on our table in the porch.
Julie, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

We liked the quaint charm of this historic inn and the staff was excellent. Our server in the restaurant, Juan, was exceptional and met all our needs. The patio was an excellent place to watch the 4th of July fireworks show. My only complaint is the windows in our room (204) needs work, they would not close and lock properly.
James, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This is a fabulous place to stay..
Kathryn, 1-night trip

Historic, location is great but a warning it is old and no TV. Enjoyed the history though and if you like antiques you would love this property.

Jeffery, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I came because of the EV charging, I was quite impressed with how nice the hotel was
Thomas, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

The surrounding area is beautiful. The hotel is nice and historic. Guest service was poor and unprofessional. Our room was not ready even though we arrived at the designated 4 pm check in time. While we did not mind waiting a few minutes for the room to be ready, we were advised that it was ready until we asked. When we got to the room, it was was not clean. We asked for housekeeping to come but we were informed no one was available. The hotel gave us a new room but it wasn't very clean either as we found used dental floss from presumably the prior occupant. The hotel restaurant has very good food in a nice setting. Hotel charges a nightly resort fee but offers no amenities.
Ruben, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

What an amazing hotel! We want to come back in the summer months to enjoy the ambiance, scenery & staff! If you love history & service, this is a must see.
shell, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We loved everything about the bimbo historic Inn. The ambience is amazing. The only thing we truly hated, and it might prevent us from coming back is the discomfort of the bed. We had a queen size, and it appeared to be a spring mattress versus the newer foam style, we found it to be extremely uncomfortable
Diane, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

People were nice but the room bed was rough. They never came and filled our shampoo or soap even though they said try would for a 3 day stay. I would go to Garberville instead and stay there plus they have more food options as well.
Jeffrey, 2-night trip
