We paid $300 for one night in an ocean view, king sized bed, suite with a spa in the room. We were celebrating our 12th wedding anniversary in Bodega Bay. When we checked in and got to our room, it looked and smelled a little long in the tooth (torn and stapled wall coverings, noisy ceiling appliances, and that "older room air freshner" smell). To be fair, let's go through what was advertised versus our actual experience:

Ocean View: Well, a Bodega Bay view. As our roon was situated on the ground floor, about 15' in front of our outdoor patio was the hotel parking loop and an access road, with traffic running until well past 10 p.m. So we moved indoors to get some quiet.

Additionally, within about 30' or so of our room was the Inn's communal hot tub. Noisy, loud and drunken guests acting obnoxious until after 11 p.m... Very romantic.

The room as a very nice heart-shaped hot tub ensuite, but there is not enough hot water available (and a VERY weak water stream) to fill the tub above the jets. We decided to continue to fill the water level above the jets and were rewarded with a cool-to-luke-warm tub. When we turned on the spa jets, this horrible sulphur reeking smell emanated from the spa unit, flooding the room with this lovely rotten egg smell at 11 p.m. As we have a very good friend who had a similar experience in
Cabo San Lucas last year and almost lost his left leg to MERSA, we immediately vacated the tub, drained it and jumped into the hot shower to clean off. When we advised the desk person about this the following morning, her only comment was, "Well, the fire department checks those spas, so maybe they did something to it." Say what?

Bed was king-sized as advertised, but had an old and thin mattress that was marginally comfortable.

However, the Inn provided a nice in wall unit fireplace with two Duraflame logs, and that worked exactly as advertised.

Save you rmoney and look for another placed to stay when in Bodega Bay, or better yet (as we found out after-the-fact), you can stay at an awesome bed-and-breakfast about 15 miles inland in the small town of Occidental which is called "The Inn at Occidental," which would be a much better deal for about the same money!!

Bodega Coast Inn, Bodega Bay, Ca,
This experience is a mixed bag. Has a great location. However, I expect a little more attention to detail for $179 a night. It would not take much effort as one will see from my comments.
Room 15 in the Cormorant building. This is an ADA room. Not sure why we got this room other than we asked for a ground level. The room has a lift chair which is a nice touch. However, it is not plugged in and there is no easy access to a plug. A power strip would be a simple thing to install. The room also has a sofa. Nice touch. It is very heavy so I am guessing that it is a sofa bed. We are here for one night on a drive along Hwy 1. I don't know if every room has a view. This room has a little veranda with sliding door and view of the bay. Nice sunset...
Breakfast is included in a room adjacent to the lobby. I had hoped that the breakfast would be a highlight but it was minimal. Mainly high carb products, juices, coffee, hard boiled eggs.

Room – 15
Internet – free, wi fi only. No ethernet.
Air conditioning – no
Electrical outlets – somewhat oddly placed and used by extra lamps. Pull the lamp plug to charge devices. Same for my cpap. Had to work to get to an outlet behind the head of the bed. Fortunately the cord is long enough.
Smoking – No
Alarm clock – digital
Safe for valuables – no
Ironing board with iron – Yes
Hair dryer - yes
Closet – good size closet with sliding doors and mirror on front.
Towels, linens – Fine
Tissues (kleenex or equal) - Yes
Facecloths - yes
California King bed and pillows- four pillows, no extras. These Ca king beds are about four inches narrower and a little longer than a standard king bed; feels more like a queen bed to me. Not good: while in bed, the mattress seems to be low in the center and one's body is naturally inclined to roll toward the center. This is usually indicative of wear and tear and time for replacement.
Bedside nightstands – one drawer and open space below. Free standing lamp on each nightstand. Hotels should really think about supplying lamps that have electrical outlets.
Robes – no
Coffee maker – Mr Coffee 4 cup coffeemaker with one packet each of regular and decaf coffee. Usual items to mix with coffee. No tea.
Mini fridge – yes, excellent Magic Chef
Microwave – yes, Magic chef
Television – looks like approx 32” LG flat screen. Located on top of a 3 drawer chest which is plenty adequate for clothing.
DVD player – no. Website advertises dvd player. Perhaps it has to be picked up in the lobby and installed.
Shower – not good. 1) the ADA shower has a wall mounted seat that will not stay up when not in use so one has to deal with the seat being partially in the way. 2) the shower head is old and should be replaced. 2) The volume of water is limited either by low water pressure or a restrictive orifice. 3) the worse thing is the slow drain. One ends up standing in a puddle of dirty water.
Bathroom amenities – Green shampoo and skin lotion. Not familiar with this product.
Amenity kit – no kit; No shower cap,cotton balls, swabs or anything else
Weight scale – no
External Sounds – acceptable levels
Pool / hot tub – don't know; website does not mention and I did not ask.

Great view of Bodega Bay and a stone's throw from Doran Beach Road. Staff was efficient, friendly, and courteous. Breakfast offerings were plentiful and above average. No swimming pool but a nice spa - perfect after hiking.
