Beachcomber Motel

We recently stayed at the Beachcomber Motel and had a truly lovely experience. We originally booked a room with a kitchenette. The room looks out to a communal deck, which is a great concept when guests are mindful of shared space etiquette. Unfortunately, not everyone seems to understand what 'communal' really means, which can affect the vibe. Of course, that's not something the motel can control, but the setup itself is charming and well thought out. This room we initially booked did not work out. Thankfully, the front desk staff was amazing. Without any hassle, they helped us switch to a smaller room without a kitchenette, and it ended up being perfect. Cozy, peaceful, and with unbeatable views. The beach was literally just steps away, and the vibe for the second half of our stay—especially while spending time with family—was relaxing and just what we needed. It was such a wonderful feeling to wake up and sit on the patio, coffee in hand and just listen to the ocean. I can't say enough good things about the staff. Kind, accommodating, and genuinely welcoming. That level of care really stood out and made our visit memorable. We will definitely be back next year!

We booked a Friday night at the Beachcomber Motel and, when we arrived, found it so comfortable and attractive that we asked to extend our stay through Saturday night. Unfortunately for us, our large room with an ocean view was already reserved by someone else for Saturday, so we moved to a smaller one without a view for the second night. In addition to the ocean view, a big draw for us was the EV charging station. They have two, and one was available whenever we needed it. We were very happy in the large, upstairs, more expensive room. On one side of the Beachcomber is the main road; on the other is an asphalt path along the ocean. We walked along it for a bit and would have done more except that weekend there was a brisk, very cold wind.

Located right next to the beach, this hotel is situated in the perfect location. A short trek down a trail and you’re on the beach and a short walk to glass beach. The check in was smooth and easy, and the staff were very polite and friendly. It’s also pet friendly. The beach was clean and relatively empty. The water is not safe to swim in as the seas were quite rough, however there was a naturally made lake on the opposite side of the beach that fills with fresh sea water during high tide. This made for a much safer place for my daughter to go and play in the water.

Loved the location, Bed was comfy, very clean, and very nice views of the ocean! Greeted with smiles at the check-in counter, which is always nice as well. Overall it was a great stay for us! They even have a few fire pits to cook some Smore's!

Our room was clean, huge and modern, overlooking the beach. The fireplace was a wonderful touch. The property backs up to a bike/walking path, and has unobstructed views of the ocean. Ft Bragg is not too far from Medocino, so Beachcomber Motel is a wonderful alternative if you cannot find accommodation in Mendocino.
