Benbow Historic Inn

Benbow Historic Inn

8/10 Good
"Very clean room and comfortable settings. Staff at the bar were wonderful to chat with and friendly. Food in the main dining room was spectacular (was my Bride’s bday and there was no complimentary dessert, but we still enjoyed the meal). Went for a walk because bike tires were low and handlebars needed to be tightened which was fine as there really wasn’t much of a place to ride. River view was peaceful and we saw a group thoroughly enjoying their time by the waters. A peaceful place to lay your head for the night"

10/10 Excellent
"I go to Shelter Cove regularly and usually stay here. This time I had business in Garberville. It's a nice clean no frills place. It's in town right near shopping and restaurants. This time I decided to take the Bus, instead of driving. The stop is almost at the front door. No surprises. Nice comfortable stay."

Inn Of The Lost Coast

10/10 Excellent
"We love the stars at night with our view. We have stayed a couple times now and each room is unique. The beaches are nearby. I suggest bring your shade umbrella for the black sands beach. The Venezuelan food across from our room might have been good had anyone that worked there acknowledged us upon entering and waiting about five minutes. No biggie. We ended up with pizza. It’s okay! The bar chairs in the rooms need reupholstering. The lady at the desk is very sweet and very kind. Love the vibe."
