Top Shell Beach Hotel Reviews

Gualala Country Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Easy parking. Nice place. We really wanted them to start the popcorn machine, but no luck! "

Fort Ross Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Cute little cottage overlooking the ocean. We enjoyed our stay from the moment we were greeted by the friendly and hospitable front desk agent. Our room was comfortable. A sliding glass door opened to a small patio with chairs and ocean view. Bed was comfortable. Bathroom was large with a huge, deep tub. There were eating utensils, had we wanted to enjoy a snack on the patio. There was also a spa area - also with ocean view. There was a Cafe across the highway which, until we ate most of them, had chocolate chip cookies which would have made Cookie Monster proud. They also offered good sandwiches and a simple breakfast."

Cloverdale Wine Country Inn & Suites

6/10 Okay

"The room was pretty clean and the staff were friendly. However, no breakfast available despite it being listed at booking. Toilet was loosely secured, shower was lukewarm, coffee maker in room was obviously not used for a while. The bathroom light and fan were motion sensor activated and couldn’t be disabled and so this was annoying in the middle of the night. It was ok but I wouldn’t stay here again."

Jenner Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Jenner, where the Russian river meets the Pacific Ocean a quiet spot, relaxing, peaceful, surrounded by nature it doesn’t get any better than that. Jenner Inn is right across the street. They have delicious food and so does the aquatica coffee shop right on the river. Charming comfortable old World charm. we keep going back again and again love it great staff a very special place."

Stockfarm Inn

6/10 Okay

"Check in was at the building next door, which wasn’t advertised very clearly. The elevator was inoperable so we had to carry all bags up, which wasn’t a huge deal but inconvenient with a one year old. The restaurant was closed which made for very slim food options in town, glad we brought snacks! Overall wasn’t a horrible place for a quick one night stop on the way to our final destination. "
