Old time decor and a fun destination. The on site restaurant and bar was really good. My only issue, which is always my issue, it was expensive, but in this case it was worth it.

We loved everything about the bimbo historic Inn. The ambience is amazing. The only thing we truly hated, and it might prevent us from coming back is the discomfort of the bed. We had a queen size, and it appeared to be a spring mattress versus the newer foam style, we found it to be extremely uncomfortable

People were nice but the room bed was rough. They never came and filled our shampoo or soap even though they said try would for a 3 day stay. I would go to Garberville instead and stay there plus they have more food options as well.

I put down $100 for incidentals. We purchased 2 drinks at the bar. Reviewed our bill and was furious. A 7.33 tourism fee was charged and a $25 resort fee was charged. The 2 drinks were $20. All in all the resort charged us $54.44. I was blind sided by the add on to our far bill. Is this how you treat your guests.?

Not a particularly motorcycle friendly staff. We pulled up to check in and a staff member immediately came outside and said that the parking area we were in was for people registering. I told him that’s exactly what we were doing and he said he didn’t see any luggage and I pointed out the two duffel bags strapped to the bike. Later they allowed two vehicles to park there all night. We were accused of smoking twice because someone below us was smoking a cigar. Rude staff!

Disliked: Staff & service
It was a beautiful place but we were treated like white trash being that we rode in on Harley Davidsons. Door man yelled at us as we pulled into the reservation spots that “ you cant park there”. We were like well we do have reservations. He crawfished real quick. Food is ridiculously priced. Breakfast burritos are $25 a piece. Last but not least while out on the patio enjoying one of their $20 mix drinks( Tito’s & cranberry) we were reprimanded 2/3 times to stop smoking cigarettes. NONE IF US WERE SMOKING!! So if you ride motorcycles & have Tatoos I highly recommend staying else where!

Gorgeous Unique Sitting Areas- so relaxing!

Gorgeous historic inn with beautiful warm sitting rooms on the first floor with games, a roaring fireplace, and relaxing music. Food can be ordered from the in-house pub to this room as well, or eaten in the pub or dining room, which are both beautifully decked out as well. Rooms have delightful victorian decoration and vintage character. This was a fantastic refresh after having stayed in soulless contemporary hotels for all of my last stays.

I little disappointed. We had dinner at the property, looks like everybody is busy because of the wedding. Ordered dinner and my sister found a piece of plastic on her vegetable. Up the hotel room, not even a soap to wash our hands. What do they expect wash our hands with body wash in the bathroom? Not even a small toiletries for their guest? And when we check out and asked the lady on the front desk,about why they don’t have at least a bar of soap to wash our hands with.She said they were out of stock. Just disappointed.
