The staff were wonderful; breakfast was great, fresh, and tasty. Wilson room was clean. One of the light on the night stand flickers and turned on by itself after we went to bed, probably old wiring. Everything was to be expected for a historic building turned B&B. The only complain was the bed; super lumpy, probably time to replace it. Overall, our stay was pleasant, refreshing. Got amazing restaurants in Mendocino. Will visit again.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
We were in the Berry room. The view was amazing. The location exceptional. The bed was comfortable. The breakfast served in our room was delivered hot, well presented and delicious. We walked to Luna Trattoria the night before. It is around the corner from the Inn and we had a dinner that was perfect even though we had a seat at the bar because we were walk ins with no reservations. There are problems with the Headlands Inn: The carpet was dirty and worn, both in our room and in the common areas such as the staircase . The tile grout in our bathroom was dirty. It just needed a good cleaning. The blinds in our room were frayed and worn. The amenities in the bathroom felt like we were staying at our great aunt’s house and she had bought the best stuff from Walmart. The wallpaper through out the home felt tired, dated and worn. There was a throw rug in our room that was hiding the worn carpet below but was also a tripping hazard with the corners flipping up. This property needs a refresh. The experience could be amazing as the location is the perfect seaside vibe.

Charming & Cozy

This place is very charming and comfortable. Upon arrival, we had a warm welcome from the inn keeper and delicious homemade cookies made by his wife. The down topper on the bed is extra comfy and the towels in the bathroom are some of the softest I’ve felt. A delicious hot breakfast was delivered to our room. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a charming cozy place to stay in Mendocino.

The Headlands Inn is the archetypal Victorian Inn with lacy curtains, sitting parlor, and cottage garden. Plus the room was clean, the bed very comfortable and the breakfast delicious, so yes I'd stay there again.
