Wharf Master's Inn

Wharf Master's Inn

10/10 Excellent
"The hotel is located on a hill, overlooking a wharf and the ocean---a magnificent view! The staff was very friendly, attentive, and accommodating---several lovely conversations. The complementary breakfast is modest and continental in style. However, there is a nice, but limited, breakfast made-to-order menu which was done very well. The dinner menu is similarly limited, but the choices are nicely cooked and served. The room featured a hot tub, as well as the usual shower, and a balcony had a great view of the wharf and ocean. Since the hotel is on a hill, the driveway is somewhat steep---some may have trouble walking down to the water, but it's a 1-minute drive to parking by the beach. Also, walking from one unit of the hotel to another may involve some ups and downs. A cafe and a couple restaurants are available down the hill. Rooms are labeled as "peaceful and romantic", and that seems a fine description. The city of Point Arena and nearby area are isolated near the coast, but that makes the hotel a great place to unwind and enjoy the scenery."

10/10 Excellent
"Our room was so cozy and felt like being in a favorite aunt’s best guest room. The bed is a bit unwieldy in the room we were in (Evergreen) It’s very tall and the featherbed kind of sucks you into place and holds you there. However it was such a lovely stay and we will 100% be back. Do yourself a favor and get the muffins for breakfast with their excellent coffee drinks. We were thrilled."
