  : Comfortable, lively, colorful design. Clean.
  : Sort of loud being next to the road and a lot of visitors were loud early in the morning. Didn’t like the window right in front and that being the only natural light source. No privacy if you want natural light in your room.

  : The town of Monte Rio and this property are located in an old growth redwood forest, just amazing! This property is close to a beautiful public golf course and next two large, older homes along the golf course and adjacent Russian River. The homes and this property are surrounded by and literally in huge redwoods making for a very peaceful experience. We stayed in one of the “cabins“ in the back of the property situated directly in and among the redwoods. It was very quiet and a very serene environment.
  : Unfortunately, several of the cabin units were flagged as unsafe to occupy including the one directly connected to a common wall of the unit in which we stayed…a little strange. The deck of the unit we stayed in was was completely gated off and not accessible during our stay. The sliding glass door to the deck was blocked with a thick panel of metal fencing material. We could open the door but there was no screen door to keep bugs out. One of the windows also did not have a screen. These units don’t have AC, which isn’t really a problem when you can open the windows and the slider, but without screens we really didn’t feel safe doing so. We were not advised of these issues at reservation or check in.

Very Poor

  : The sofa bed couch was broken and in a permanently half open/up position. Impossible to sit on if we wanted to. The drapes were made of 3different color sheets on a rod. The bathroom had mildew/mold. The bedroom had a dilapidated closet, no window covering, smelled horrible the bedding was very questionable. Let’s not leave out the back deck that we were also told at check in was not usable; understatement, as it had danger tape all over it to cordon it off as it was not safe due to structural inferiority and falling. Then, the cabin 2 doors down was having a rave party which brought the sheriff out twice.

  : Nothing.
  : Our reservation was cancelled upon arrival for check-in. They would not accept our Booking.com reservation but they charged us for the room that night.

  : Nice staff. Restaurant, bistro and golf course all within walking distance. Large pool and pet friendly.
  : The room was VERY plain. Two plastic chairs and a round plastic table. Would have been better to have a bar type table you could put a coffee pot on also a ice bucket and room for wine or drinks and glasses. Room was clean but looked like their was a pet urine stain on my bed. I guess I'm used to a little more comfort.

  : The staff was very responsive. When we arrived, our reserved room with king sized bed was not available for what we were told was 'various reasons'. We were upgraded to a cabin. Check-in and out very easy and can be done online. The location is incredible with picnic benches to sit under the redwoods to have dinner when staying in the cabins. The cabins are delightful with a small and functional kitchen and good sized bathroom and great shower.
  : We appreciated having the cabin, but it had a double bed, which was very hard for my very tall husband to fit into (and why we booked the king sized bed to begin with). And there was construction being done, which we respect and appreciate. However, the communication that we were moved to the cabin was not passed along and before 9am, there was drilling and loud work being done on the deck of the cabin which we had to ask the staff and workers to stop. It was very unfortunate to be disrupted that way due to poor communication, even with the unexpected changes in room that we had. The first cabin we were moved into had a broken sofa bed (literally sticking out into the air) and someone had clearly slept in the bed (we were moved to a 2nd cabin). While responsive, the staff did not seem to know what was happening at the property to coordinate a more seamless and relaxing stay. For the price, we likely would not stay again after a moderate amount of hassle that was resolved, but not what we were looking for for just 2 days away.

  : The room was very clean. I’m glad there was no carpet! The bed was comfortable and the room felt very clean (which is most important to me).
  : Room is quite small. There is only one little table (there should be one next to each bedside) and not enough space to put things down . Could use more tables, a chair. Also needs coffee! There was no fresh coffee in the office either.
