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.

Best Inn for a quiet getaway

The Inn was as cute and quaint as you can imagine. Perfect location across from the beach and close to hiking trails. Will definitely stay again and upgrade to one of the cottages in the back.

The room was cosy and very tidy in the style of an English Bed and Breakfast. The Lady at the reception was very friendly and helpful. I am not sure, how to rate the Spa. The sauna and the bathing area were a bit rustic and old fashioned. On the other side, it fits to the hippie flair of Mendocino. All in all, I recomend the accommodation
