We arrived in San Francisco on our train 5 hours late and had to make the drive to Mendocino in the dark. The drive was difficult and we were tired, but the arrangements that the Inn made for us to check in late were so helpful. The room was beautifully decorated and simple and the bed was amazingly comfortable. Though... More

We were driving down the coast and needed some dinner, so we called the restaurant, Moosse Cafe, which was about to close but stayed open because we had called ahead. We had a very good dinner there, although it could have used a vegetarian selection on the dinner entree menu. While having dinner, the lady waiting on us left (I've... More

Simple but friendly continental style welcome and service. Of the two rooms available when we called by one had a great ocean view but no en-suite and the other an en-suite but no view so we opted for the Ocean view room and happily shared a bathroom with just one other room. Nice simple continental breakfast and a good restaurant... More

The Blue Heron Inn is located over the Moosse Cafe, an excellent restaurant. The owners should either change many things or get out of the room rental business and stick to what they do very well, running a fine restaurant. Cons: No closet - No chair - No phone - No clock No radio - No TV - No wastebasket... More

This place is a bit unusual.... It's really just a restaurant with three rooms upstairs (two of which share a bathroom!). But it's ideally located, comfortably furnished, and the people are nice as can be. If you stay there, try the restaurant for dinner. They will spoil you silly, and the food is divine. We'd go back in a heartbeat! More

We have stayed at the Blue Heron inn twice and have had great experiences both times. We stayed in the room with a private bathroom the first night and we and another couple we brought there stayed in the rooms with the shared bathroom. The rooms are clean and comfortable with views of the water. The location is great, you... More

We recently stayed at the Blue Heron Inn above the Moose Cafe in the village of Mendocino; we had stayed there a couple of years ago, and did not realize the ownership has changed. The three rooms above the restaurant are really now an afterthought. We were told the second day when asking about refreshing the room that we were... More

We stayed at the Blue Heron Inn in december 2005 and it was no problem to get the "Sunset Room" for just one night, even from Friday to Saturday. The Sunset Room is really nice, and you have two windows from which you can see the cliff and the ocean. 115US$ in off-season for a room with a shared bathroom... More

Maybe it was the little red rocking chair in the yellow room that did it, but I felt I could have been in Europe when I walked into the dormer bedroom at the Blue Heron. There were luxurious French linens on the bed and simple furnishings, perfect for the small quarters right in the middle of Mendocino. Under new management... More
