Beautiful historic small inn in...

Liked: The inn is just a half hour from Humboldt Redwoods State Park. Everything was run efficiently from start to finish and was very clean, and nothing was broken. The heating and cooling system worked well.My 210 foot "deluxe queen" (room 210) had everything I needed or wanted (except a mini-fridge, which would have made it perfect): bathtub that didn't leak, coffee maker, view of the trees, comfortable bed, adequate storage for toiletires. There was also a luggage rack I could use to help get stuff to my room via the elevator. The inn is also right next to part of Benbow Recreation Area, so after settling in it is easy to do a little stroll to the park or river (where there are picnic tables) before or after dinner or in the morning on a fine day.
Disliked: 1. Food and service at dinner were mediocre (overbaked salmon, overbaked potatoes, generic cheesecake ), for the price charged (though the dining room venue was very nice). Waitress did not seem to be a happy person, and did not apologize for two mistakes she made (but my guess is any staff at all is very hard to come by) 2. If you sit outside (on the terraces or the lawn near the river), there is quite a bit of road nice from Highway 101 (but at night I heard nothing and nothing interfered with sleep)3. The room had an "old room" funny smell (but fortunately the window opened so I could repeatedly air it out).

Liked: Historic hotel with beautiful and quiet rooms. Restaurant serves excellent food.
Disliked: There is an additional fire insurance fee (20USD), which was not mentioned during booking. It is very unusual to charge such an insurance fee, at least it should be mentioned during the booking process.

Excellent Location and Beautiful Property

Liked: Beautiful location. The staff were accomodating. The room with bunk beds was perfect. The restaurant food was delicious but very pricey.
Disliked: There was an additional 20 dollar "fire safety" daily fee added to the bill that I don't understand

Liked: Beautiful, unique historic hotel just off the Redwood Hwy. Food was excellent!
