Joshua Grindle Inn

We stayed at The Joshua Grindle Inn In Mendocino for one night during our trip around Northern California and Oregon, we wished we could have stayed longer but we were on a tight schedule. After a long drive from Trinidad and through the Avenue of the Giants we arrived during in the afternoon. We were warmly greeted by the owner who gave us a brief history of the Inn. He then showed us to our room The Library. Our room had everything we needed. Mendocino is a beautiful place with a rugged coastline. There are plenty of places to eat. We enjoyed our breakfast which included home made banana bread and lovely scones. A wonderful place to stay.

We stayed here for 2 nights as part of our west coast road trip. The Joshua Grindle Inn was everything we hoped it would be - gorgeous house, fabulous hosts, delicious breakfasts and old world charm - we fell in love with Mendocino! We stayed in Cypress North Room - spacious and spotlessly clean with the comfiest bed - we just wish we could stay longer! Thank you to our hosts Ken & Kate - you have something very special here! PS highly recommend Luna in town for dinner - one of the best meals we have ever had! Alex & Steve, UK

Due to the treacherous weather during our stay, we were moved to a lovely safer room inside the house, the library. The room was charming, clean, and the bed was comfortable. We enjoyed the warm fire at nighttime, and the lovely breakfast in the morning. It was our second time here, and we will be back again!

This charming inn is just a short walk to town and the best restaurants in the area. Our room and bath were lovely, comfortable and spacious. There was a nice selection of home-baked goods for breakfast. Had the weather been better, I would have enjoyed time in the pretty gardens. But what made our visit stand out was the helpfulness of the innkeepers. We left behind a small bag when we left very early. They tracked us down and shipped it to our next stop on our journey.

In a town of great inns and BnBs, this one stands out for its comfort and warmth. Missy, who greeted me on arrival, could not have been kinder or more helpful. She seemed genuinely to care about her guests and to take an interest in our experience. I stayed in the water tower (middle level!), which had a gorgeous view of the town all the way to the ocean -- and a real fireplace as well. I enjoyed having the option to use the main house and living rooms for cups of tea and homemade cookies, just to lounge and chat to other guests after the buffet breakfast or in between my walks to town. Really fabulous books on history of the area -- and the owner Ken is very friendly and happy to share his knowledge too. I will be back.

Good place to stay. Rooms are all different, but they are spacious, clean, and comfortable. Good restaurants within walking distance and a nice breakfast to get you on your way. The hosts are attentive and want to make sure you have a pleasant stay. They are helpful in describing the town, the attractions, and the restaurants.
