8/10 Good
"The coffee provided in the room is terrible and the creamer also is bad. i went to the restaurant and paid 4.00 for an equally bad cup of coffee. Most hotels we have stayed at provide free coffee in the lobby. Considering what the rates are per night, that would be a nice perk."

The Lodge at Bodega Bay

10/10 Excellent
"It was our 5 year anniversary! Staff accommodated us with the room we requested. They left us a lovely message of congratulations and a nice bottle of wine with some artisan chocolates. We enjoyed ourselves and was very happy with our stay. Dinner service was nice. The host was very welcoming and helpful. Our server could have been more mindful of us but he was very nice. The spa and pool was perfect for a night cap. Late check out was great so we could enjoy our morning and not have to rush. Our room was accessible to the landscape and grounds. Had a great view of the ocean where we actually saw a humpback whale. Overall great experience 10/10"
