Overall the visit was OK. The location is great. The room was comfortable and clean. When we arrived, we were told the spa & associated amenities were closed. No advanced notice. We stayed in Rosie's room. The stairs are very narrow and steepn which made hauling luggage a challenge for us

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.

The sweet water tower was the best. Use of the public spa and redwood tubs during after hours was well worth having to go down a flight of stairs for the showered and bathroom

best little retreat

such a gem! we stayed 2 nights here to spend a day at orr hot springs (we had a dog, who we rover'ed). from check in to muffins in the morning, everything was so lovely! the spa in the back was amazing; call ahead if you want to book a massage. and definitely go to luna trattoria (through the garden gate) while you're there!

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.

Great place to stay, Sad the hot tubs were not opened, I’m sure the price reflected the use, couch pull out bed . Time for a new one. I did enjoy my stay, and will stay again

Sweetwater Inn was a little more run down than we expected. We appreciate the building and the rooms were in keeping with the Victorian essence of Mendocino town, however it was in need of a refresh and paint touch up in the room. There were ants in the bathroom for the two days we were there but the room was clean so we didn’t attribute that to a lack of cleanliness.
Verified review

The complimentary spa was closed due to a fire. This was not communicated ahead of time and the only reason we got some time in a hot tub was because we asked for a discount (not very proactively handled). Everything else was fine

This was the second time for us staying in the flower cottage. For the two of us it’s the right size and so close to everything. We even used the spa and sauna this time. Definitely going back.
