Beachcomber Motel

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.

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.

Our room was spacious enough for a family of 4 with luggage and the view was spectacular. When we moved to a new place we really missed waking up to it. The location is close to town and a short walk for a bite to eat and, if you like craft beers, Overtime Brewery. The coastal walking tracks are fabulous to have so close and we enjoyed a great bike ride up to Mckerracher State Park and Lake Cleone using the bikes available to hire. We also enjoyed sitting around the fire pits in the evenings as the sun set over the ocean. If you have a car, Mongomery Woods is about an hour's drive and a lovely place to see the grandeur of these huge trees. A trip to Boonville is just a little further but a gorgeous drive and there are lovely wineries to visit along the way.

I loved the location, the ease of getting to it, the convenience of the beach access, the amenities, etc. room was clean. Fridge was cold (we’ve stayed places where the fridge wasn’t cold nor did it get cold enough to keep perishables good). Bed was comfortable. Staff was super friendly and helpful.

So relaxing! A sliding door that opened right to the beach with patio chairs, easy access to town, comfy beds, and a great staff to man the desk. I loved my stay and loved the morning walks on the beach and trails. We arguably stayed in some of the 'worst' rooms (below the lido deck on the end of the complex) and still massively enjoyed our stay, though we would request an upper unit next time.
