We visited the Hill House Inn with a Groupon. We were kind of problem guests; we scheduled and canceled and rescheduled our Mendocino trip three or four times. Kudos to the staff for being patient with us. We did not have high expectations when we arrived, so I suppose we did not need much to be satisfied. It's not the... More

Location is great. The hotel is easy access to just about anything. Service is great until 9pm. After that, you are pretty much on your own until the next morning. Good continental breakfast. Room looks old and dated.

We had no idea until we arrived that the TV show "Murder She Wrote" was filmed in the village of Mendocino and that the Hill House Inn (Cabot Cove Inn) was used often in the same show. So much for the "craggy coast of Maine" where Cabot Cove was supposed to be located. The lobby is filled with photos from... More

Since Medocino is such a small town, while this B&B is located on outskirts, easy walk to town. Very clean, rooms are large and light. Has music on Sat nights in bar area which in mornings makes into a nice breakfast room. Great antiques and lovely public areas.

Mendocino is indeed a very small village and Hill House guests enjoy being able to walk down to dining and shopping in just a few short minutes. Hill House is one of the few places where you can do a little dancing and have a fine meal and be able to walk back to your room afterwards with the music... More

Checked in to this Inn without a reservation on Memorial Day weekend. They gave us a 40% discount on a room with two beds, and the service was very friendly and accommodating. The outside of the property is beautifully landscaped and the location was great, just a couple blocks from downtown. However, the lobby is completely over stuffed with antique... More

Unfortunately for travelers coming to our area on holiday weekends the pricing in our village may seem higher than some areas, this is attributed to our remote location and limited number of accommodations. We realize that and try when we can to offer discounts to guests when we can. The décor of our hotel reflects a different era and the... More

We enjoyed our stay in our ocean view king sized room. Good waffle breakfast too. Our complimentary wine was excellent. I would suggest the addition of an ice machine on the grounds. room would benefit from updating. But room was clean with good bedding and very quiet.

I arrived late, after 8pm, and just barely caught the front desk lady before she left. I hadn't known from the website that the restaurant is no longer open, I had counted on an in-house dinner. I got adventurous and walked down to Patterson's Pub for clam chowder and hard cider, and was glad I did. The second night I... More

We did a Groupon weekend at The Hill House and enjoyed it. The front desk was knowledgeable and helpful. The rooms are comfortable, although the linens seemed a bit old and not up to the highest of standards. The gardens lovely. We enjoyed the ocean view at sunset on the deck with the wine that accompanied the Groupon special, even... More

Clean, affordable room. . Convenient to town with plenty of parking. Simple do it yourself breakfast, if you want more, pay more. Staff was pleasant. Only complaint, stuff room but easily rectified by opening patio door onto the garden.

Quiet and clean room, but a very 'tired and outdated' place. The 'continental' breakfast was HORRIBLE: machine batter waffles that you made yourself, bagels and coffee. REALLY? Where was the cereal? We ended up going out for breakfast both mornings we were there. Would I stay there again? I don't know. There are so many B&Bs in the area that... More
