Loved the comfy little garden cottage! Fenced back yard was a lovely spot for coffee or cocktails. The private hot tub was an extra bonus.

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

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.

Like a sweet old auntie, this place is comfortable and a little worn for wear. Best probably for weekends rather than long stays. Very convenient to everything in Mendocino.

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.
