Top Gualala Hotel Reviews

Gualala Country Inn

Gualala Country Inn

10/10 Excellent
"The Horizon Room was beautiful, spacious, and very comfortable. While many of the inn's rooms have convenient direct access from the free parking lot, the Horizon Room felt more like a traditional hotel room. It was located in a bright, well-lit foyer, which gave the area a more upscale, welcoming atmosphere. The staff truly went above and beyond, and I really appreciated their kindness and customer service."

8/10 Good
"We greatly enjoyed our three day stay. We chose Point Arena for peace and quiet, and we got lots of it. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. Our Keurig machine was a dud, and they went out directly to purchase and install a new one. They also prepare a dinner and breakfast (limited menu) on request and there is an excellent continental breakfast always available. The view of the harbor from our room was spectacular and we spent a lot of our time just watching the waves roll in and the pelicans diving. I was startled to find Point Arena's main street disappointingly run down. Forty years ago it was a vibrant little place and people driving PCH would stop on their way for a meal and to shop, now they seem to drive straight through. Even the turn off to the harbor and hotel is a challenge to find. Do stop out of town at the lighthouse. It's a gem."
