The Madrones

The Madrones

8/10 Good
"This is one of my favorite places to stay. Lovely, charming, unhurried with beautiful architecture and grounds. The staff was helpful and friendly. The room was exactly as I recall it being roughly 12 years ago - spacious, lovingly decorated, attentive details everywhere with luxurious, high quality furnishings. The Madrones is a welcome respite in Anderson Valley and great home base for local wine tasting. The restaurant was still as cozy and intimate as I remembered, with simple but carefully crafted dishes. The dining courtyard could not be more charming. The ambiance is unbeatable at The Madrones and our experience was overwhelmingly positive. (There were a couple of minor areas of improvement: the tv wasn't properly working - but staff provided a half bottle of wine to make up for this - and the large blinds and bathroom ceiling could use dusting/cobweb removal.) All else was spotless and well maintained. I would return again and again and highly recommend The Madrones."

"I absolutely loved my stay here! I've never even heard of Albion, but I'm on a solo coastal road trip, and found this beautiful hotel! The grounds were immaculate, the room was very clean, and the views were breathtaking! I also loved that there were assigned parking spots. I have questions for the staff and they were always very responsive. Late check-in was a breeze. I visited the the restaurant twice for breakfast and once for dinner. All my food was outstanding, the drinks were great, and the service was excellent! I got a table by the window for every meal, and sat outside on the couch one evening, with a drink and dessert. The patrons and staff I chatted with were all so friendly! What a great experience! I didn't want to leave! I highly recommend this amazing place!"

"The room was very comfortable. There is no staff to help with any questions. The fire-pit had been turned into a table. A fire would have been nice."

Rendezvous Mendocino

Rendezvous Mendocino

10/10 Excellent
"We had such a wonderful stay here! The property was absolutely beautiful, with gorgeous landscaping and so much to explore. We stayed in the Antique Cabin, which was so cute, comfortable and very clean. We saw tons of hummingbirds while walking around the property, which was such a fun little bonus. The hosts were incredibly kind and welcoming. They greeted us when we arrived and made us a wonderful breakfast of biscuits and gravy. I would HIGHLY recommend it, the biscuits were definitely top tier! The area itself was also so peaceful and beautiful. It’s quiet, and every once in a while you can hear sea lions in the distance, which really adds to the whole coastal experience. Overall, we had such a great stay and would absolutely come back again!"

"The property was fantastic. The ocean view from our room was amazing. We enjoyed the hiking trails and the spectacular views! The food was good and the bar staff were friendly. A larger bar would be nice , but the ability to order a drink and take or to a different location nearby the bar with spectacular views makes up for a smaller bar."
