I jokingly gave my husband a hard time for not planning a date on his own all month. The next day he was on the phone with Bodega Harbor Inn booking a weekend getaway for us! There was only one vacancy and it was for a two-bedroom​ vacation house so we took it. It was a bit pricey at $300 but whatever. The house was beautiful when we arrived and overlooked the water. I jumped into our private hot tub pretty much 10 minutes after arriving. It was already heated up for us and bubbling away. Pure bliss. The house is across the street fro the inn and I think it has a different vibe than staying in the inn itself. I looked up the room later online and the photos are ancient. Its been completely updated and looks like a beautiful vacation home now. Next morning my husband went and got the complimentary breakfast for us and brought it back. Plenty of food to get us going. Coffee, juice, Kind Bars, all sorts of bread galore, coffee cake, and fruit. Bring your own DVD's for a cozy night in after exploring the area all day. We had a ton of fun getting take out from The Boathouse after a terrible meal at Gourmet Au Bay. We ended up with two dinners and had a way better time just eating in our huge, warm kitchen. Love love love. read more

Loved it. I was exhausted from driving all day and found this at the last minute on a Tuesday evening. I'm a lifelong fan of "The Birds," and was geeking out hard the whole time (I stayed in a small cottage on Taylor St. that appeared in the movie six times!) Woman at front desk (wish I'd caught her name): nice, funny, and accommodating -- both over the phone and in person. She even loaned me a DVD of the film to watch! Sparkling clean, tastefully updated cottage. Tiled floor, which is cleaner by leaps and bounds than carpet (ewww). Bed was fine, thoughtful toiletries in a little duck basket in the bathroom, and a small kitchen (no stove/oven). I didn't use the hot tub, but peeked at it and it was likewise sparkling clean. Bay itself is beautiful. The actual town of Bodega is 4-5 miles south down the road and is a must-see. Would definitely stay again. read more

Nice little quiet place Wife and I made a last minute "let's go to the coast tonight" on a Friday afternoon decision Booked Room 12 that had a little deck for us to sit at and overlook the harbor This place is a little older but well maintained For the price it's well worth the stay. Continental Breakfast was good Would book again read more

Overall this motel is decent and you get what you pay for. It's a discounted hotel in comparison to other places nearby so take it for what it is. We had room 15 which was the 2 room "suite-ish" style room with a little kitchen inside. The "ocean view" is out of the small kitchen window But technically was there. You walk in through one of the rooms which was a little weird and when you get into the kitchen there is a door adjoining into your neighbors place. Which didn't bother us other than the person who rented that room the night we were there was blasting their TV literally all night which was annoying. There was an old stinky smell which we got used to after a while but was still gross. We stayed in an older hotel than this one the next night that didn't come close to smelling like this one. It just seemed like it wasn't very clean. The outdoor seating was the best part of the whole place. Beautiful view, well kept lawn, and friendly people. The location is great too, try Gourmet Au Bay right across the street - wine bar - you must try the flatbread! Sooooo yummy! Probably won't stay here again next time we are in Bodega. read more

Have been coming to bodega bay for over 20 years camping. In the past maybe 2 years we started staying at bodega harbor inn. We have always been very satisfied with staying here. We have stayed in the pelican 1, the hummingbird, and the harbor house a couple times now. The service is amazing, and they go above and beyond to accommodate their customers. George went above and beyond once again. We are beyond thankful, and will always recommend bodega harbor inn on top of only staying here. Thank you Bodega Harbor Inn for the wonderful stays and customer service. Andrus Family read more

I stayed at Bodega Harbor Inn in September,2020 for one night. My question is how can one little hotel room be so unclean and have so much deferred maintenance. I stayed in room 7 next to the water tower. I have documented the state of my room in the pictures attached. I paid $179 for the night. My issues were 1. The wall heater was filthy and has not been cleaned in months 2. The picture in my room was really crooked 3 the bathroom shower shows signs of wood rot and mold 3. One of the blinds besides dirty is damaged and does not function properly. Replacement cost is minimal 4. Two chairs in room were stained and dirty. Im not sure why so many positive reviews. Cleanliness matters in where I want to stay. Pictures tell the story. read more

From reading the reviews on here I can tell that some of the rooms are better than the one we stayed in. The only room available was #14 at $170 a night, which I know is cheap for Bodega Bay. We would gladly have paid more for a better room and would have enjoyed our stay more. The property was poorly maintained, and the ocean view that we paid extra for was ruined by failed and fogged up double glazing in the window. We had to tie up the blind so we could see out the window. A fairly cute little room was ruined by exterior rot in the window trim. Interior and exterior doors did not close properly. There's really no excuse for this level of neglect when it could be a nice place to stay. read more

BODEGA HARBOR INN is a clean and carefully maintained motel that takes the form of two rows of motel suites, with a gravel parking lot in the center, and a motel office at the far end of the parking lot. The gravel lot is about 80 feet x 80 feet. The grounds of BODEGA HARBOR INN continue beyond the motel office and in back is a row of colorful painted wooden deck chairs, a grassy lawn and, beyond that, the legendary Route One and, beyond that, a view of Bodega Bay. The deck chairs are painted, in orange, turquoise, yellow, red, green, and they all face Bodega Bay. Near the row of lawn chairs is a little garden with statue of a mermaid and a statue of a large starfish. I spent more time looking at the mermaid than at the starfish. The lawn is about 50 feet x 50 feet square. From the grassy slope in back of the motel office, you can hear distant seals going, "Ulp, ulp, ulp, ulp, ulp, ulp, ulp!" There are 16 suites in all, and all of the outside walls of the Inn are painted grayish-blue (by the way, the paint is new). At the east side of the gravel parking lot is another wooden building, with walls that are each sloped inwards. This is a tall building and it once was used as a water tower. That is why the building has the letters, "W.T." painted on the outside. Provisions can be had at a large grocery called, "Pelican Plaza." "Pelican Plaza" is located a one minute walk away from Bodega Harbor Inn. For supper on our first night, I bought potato salad that included hard boiled eggs and red-colored relish. Also, I bought a box of freshly made dolmehs. In the morning, I made coffee with the coffee machine in our suite at Bodega Harbor Inn, and then after we checked out, I bought another morning coffee at nearby "Pelican Plaza." INSIDE YOUR SUITE. Each suite is like a little cottage (or like a tiny building). The architecture of the motel takes the form of a series of tiny cottages, all connected together, with each cottage situated a half-foot below the succeeding cottage. The overall conformation of each of the two rows of cottages is like stairsteps. The large bed in our suite had an attractive bedcover with pretty pictures of starfish, kelp, snails, seahorses, clam shell, all in a blue color on a white background. Our suite had a VIZIO flatscreen television. The suite had two lamps, each made of four sea urchins (with the spines removed) stacked on top of each other, with a lamp shade on top. They were not made from real sea urchins, they were only made of porcelain. The suite also had a large canvas, about 36 inches by 36 inches, with an abstract painting of the ocean with surf in front. Also, the suite had two small paintings, each with sailboats in the ocean. The room and the "water closet" are very clean. In a conversation that I had with the manager, I realized that he puts a top priority on cleanliness. Bodega Harbor Inn is located in a quiet part of town, and our night's journey into dreamland was uninterrupted and restful. THE FRONT OFFICE. The manager in the front office was very friendly, and he told me the history of BODEGA HARBOR INN. He told me that the motel was built in the 1920s, and that there used to be a real water tank in the tower with "W.T." painted on the outside. But in a storm in February 2019, winds of 80 miles per hour blew the roof off. Then, the roof got replaced, and the furnishings inside were removed. The manager showed me a photograph of the same motel from back in the 1920s. Writing under the photo said, "The Bodega Harbor Inn has existed here . . . since the early 1900s . . . in the early 1940s the property was requisitioned by the U.S. Army to house a World War II Coastal Artillery unit, which had gun emplacements where the Dieckmann's store is now located. In 1962, it housed the production crew for the motion picture The Birds. We hope that you enjoy your stay at our Inn." HOW TO FIND THE INN. Bodega Harbor Inn is situated on the edge of the legendary Route One, but this applies only for the grassy slope in back of the motel property. To arrive at the parking lot, you need to find Bodega Avenue. If your automobile is facing north on your trip to Bodega Harbor Inn, and if you discover that you've just passed the large area known as, "THE TIDES WHARF AND RESTAURANT," you will need to drive north for only one more minute. In driving north, you will encounter a ninety degree turn in Route One and in a few seconds, you will see a grocery called, "Pelican Plaza" and a store called, "Candy & Kites" and a restaurant called, "Boat House." "Pelican Plaza" is located at the intersection of Route One and Bodega Avenue. If you forget to look for "Pelican Plaza" or one of the other businesses, and if you discover that you are passing BODEGA DUNES CAMPGROUND, this means that you have driven too far and need to turn around. read more

Staying here for two nights and I'm very satisfied. Simple and great location especially with all the site seeing, plus all the restaurants and local coffee houses. We stayed in #7, and I think all the rooms are different and if you make your reservations early enough you can taylor the room for your needs. I brought my classical guitar and sat in the lawn chair on the grass over looking the bay, very inspiring I must say. I'll be back and I'll stay here, I hope you give it a try. read more

This is the cutest little motor court perched on a bluff overlooking the sea. We were lucky enough to get the end unit which includes a deck with chairs and a little table which we used to watch the sun set and also to drink our morning coffee. There is a line of colorful Adirondack chairs on the lawn for those who don't have a deck as well as picnic tables and a bbq grill. It's well set up for families. The woman who checked us in was super friendly and informative. After we checked out in the morning, we went on a hike and came back to the car to find that the battery was running super low, though it did start, thank goodness! We called Triple A for assistance and decided to meet them back at the motel. The front desk lady welcomed us back and said that of course we could wait there. We had a nice chat and a few laughs with her. Such a good experience. read more

Hotel was soooo fun. Room was just the right size. Smoke alarm went off at night but what can you do. The lady at the desk was AWSOME ! This hotel allows you to relax and be yourself. Bring a jacket because sitting outside can get chilly. Our beds were in need of replacement but they add to the charm of the place. We had number three and we're gonna shoot for 14 next time!!! read more

Less than happy stay there this week. Broken gate that made too much noise; very noisy refrigerator; hard bed and overall run down.

I'm giving this place an overall 5 and I'm not easy to please.. Great value for the area; rooms run over $200 in Bodega Bay. The accommodations were clean and the bed was comfortable, plus you even get a peek a boo view of the bay. Now for the things you need to be aware of.. The room was extremely small, but again this was an exceptional value, plus I didn't come here to stay in the room. Second, it was pretty noisy in the morning, but that is not the property owners fault; you're at the mercy of your neighbors I highly recommend this place read more

"Rustic" is the nicest adjective I can think of. I don't mind cheap hotels and kinda dumpy accommodations, until they try to pass themselves off as a bed and breakfast or try to sound nicer than they are by calling themselves an "inn." This place isn't an inn, it's a motel. That said, we were specifically looking for something cheap for a quick weekend getaway from San Francisco, so I didn't really mind the semi-dumpy decor. I live with "dumpy" every day in the Mission, so it doesn't bother me. But upon checking in we were informed that they had mistakenly given away our room for the second night. This was later remedied by switching the other person, but not before we were told we'd have to switch rooms the second night to a room with two double beds instead of the queen we already had. Nice. I was willing to forgive (somewhat) the condition of the room because we had specifically booked the converted water tower, and the notion that we'd be sleeping in an old water tower was enough to forgive a lot of dumpiness. However, the architect (or weekend handyman, more likely) who converted this particular water tower was -- how can I put this -- a less-than-inspired artisan. You might think a converted water tower would feature, say, a spiral staircase up to a staggeringly high balcony where one could enjoy the views of the harbor down the bluff (the "inn"/motel does in fact have a decent view...if you walk around the back of the office to the lawn and don't mind the road noise since you have to look past Hwy 1 to see the ocean). You might think that. You would be wrong. The water tower room did not feature any view at all, other than of the parking lot and the gargantuan truck parked two feet ouside the door. Nor did it feature any sort of stairs. Unless you count the two steps up to the disappointingly situated GROUND FLOOR room. Yes our converted water tower featured one small room. On the ground floor. No view, no height, no balcony. Not even high ceilings or a skylight, or even a bogflammin' stupid we're-a-fishing-community-let's-do-a-faux-marine-decor-thing PORTHOLE fercryinoutloud! Did I mention the architect? And his questionable capacities? The walls hadn't seen a paintbrush in maybe a decade. And when they had, the painter was apparently either drunk or incompetent (let's hope s/he was drunk). The faded-nearly-beyond-recognition Monet posters (posters!) behind plexiglass were a nice touch, the blinds on one window fell completely off when we tried to close them, and the toilet seat broke completely off the first time we raised it (did we get an emphatic "I'm soooo sorry! We'll fix that right away and let me take $$ off your bill!"? Um, no: "Oh, sorry. The guy'll fix that soon, but it probably won't be for a couple days." Nice.) Because my mother taught me right, I'm going to think of some nice things to say: There was candy on the office counter, coffee and muffins each morning, the hot water always came on quickly, and the heater worked great. Oh, and it was the cheapest halfway decent place we could find in 3 counties. I'm giving the Bodega Harbor "Inn" 2 stars because it was cheap and I wasn't expecting it to be really swank. read more

I felt like Little Red Riding Hood trying to get to Bodega Harbor Inn (BHI.) I got so lost it wasn't even funny. Check-in was supposed to be at 3PM, but I ended up getting there around 8PM. The front desk closes around 8, but they'll leave a package for you including a map, invoice, and key to the room invoice for the room if you're late. I read some reviews on trip advisor and of course here before hand and wanted to get a bayview room for $80, but the three (rooms 1,12, &14) were booked. I ended up renting out a house on the bay (Pelican 2) for $135! I wouldn't pay more than that for any of their properties, but it was worth the money I spent. I got a whole house, albeit not decorated in any modern decade, and the bed was extremely comfortable. Even though it was 50 degrees outside and really windy, I was not cold in that house. There was even a wood-burning fireplace with a whole bucket of wood. The only budget lodging in the bodega bay area. There is also Bodega Bay Inn, which is around the bend, but they are a little more expensive and doesn't have a view at all (arguably more comfortable and cleaner.) BHI is right next door to Diekmann's bay store, a convenience store that had everything except bottles of water that stays open until 10PM. The house I was renting was next door to the Tides restaurant and Gourmet au Bay (a wine tasting shop) and across the street from the 76 station and the Inn at the TIdes (where you'd pay $180 and up.) I'd skip driving up to Bodega Head and drive up the coast to one of the beaches. Bodega Heady was cold and really windy and there wasn't much to see. All in all, BHI had everything I needed and was more than what I was expecting. They even had a spa that was so hot and comfortable with a bay view. My trip was very peaceful, as there isn't much going on in Bodega Bay, the room with the fireplace was relaxing, and the bay was serene. If you're looking to get away, but still be relatively close to shops and food, I'd recommend staying here, but avoid driving the 1 up from SF. read more

We stayed for 3 nights. Room was never cleaned..even after we complained! We were told that we were supposed to hang sign on door but never told to do that. read more

The room was not cheap, I think about $175/night out the door. That's not my main complaint though. I used to stay there 35 - 40 years ago when a night was less than $30 so I knew that the rooms in the main building were crappy little bare minimum affairs. I was trying to get away from brutal heat in the Bay Area right after Labor Day 2022. First night, my neighbor knocked on the door at 10pm promptly and asked me if I was GOING TO SETTLE DOWN SOON. Even though I was aware of keeping the volume down I offered to turn the TV down more. She said it wasn't the TV but that I was MOVING FURNITURE AROUND. What furniture ? There's very little in these CRAPPY LITTLE ROOMS The floor in my room, so probably all of them, is 12 x 12 ceramic tile that likely transmits sound at a high level. The next day the clerk mentioned that I had been VERY ACTIVE THE NIGHT BEFORE without even inquiring what I had to say. Also, he asked me each day if I was checking out, even waking me up as 11AM approached my last day asking what I was doing not packed. I have trouble sleeping and this PIECE OF WORK woke me to tell me that I was going to be late checking out. I told him I had one more night and dug out my paper work when he knocked again saying I was right. NO APOLOGY. How about checking before bothering people DUMB ASS. This guy looked to me like he may not read too well read more

I don't blame Mark for his 2 star review, the "water tower" looked pretty sad. Wifey and I spent last weekend in the Harbor Cottage and found it to be just right. A charming little one room cottage with a little kitchen and bathroom was just right for a romantic getaway weekend. The bed was firm, and the bedding definitely wasn't down, but it was clean and it was ours. The patio has a hot tub, BBQ, and a little wooden deck with a couple lounge chairs on it. It's right on the street, so there's not too much privacy, but it's a pretty quiet street. The view of the bay is pretty much blocked by the harbor house, but you can still see the water if you stand in the right place. I'm sure it's not the Inn's fault, but the folks in the house next door like to listen to window-rattling loud mariachi music on Sunday morning. That was unfortunate, if not slightly comedic. Overall, I'd say 3 and a half stars. Rounding up because it's priced appropriately for the area. read more

My husband and I really enjoyed our two night stay at Bodega Harbor Inn. Our room was large, including the bathroom, and the bed was very comfortable. We slept quite well both nights! The location is great! Casual restaurants with delicious local seafood are within walking distance. There's a deli/supermarket right next door. Adirondack chairs are available on a spacious lawn area, providing a wide view of the harbor and bay. Last but not least, the staff are very friendly and helpful! We will definitely return! read more

We've stayed twice and have been ecstatically pleased both times. The first time we were in one of the guest rooms on site. Enjoyed a nice bottle of wine in a colorful chair that looks out towards the harbor. This time we stayed in Pelican 2. Another fantastic view of the bay - watched the pelicans diving, boats coming in and out of the harbor, and a beautiful sunset. Plus the hot tub before bed was the perfect end to a perfect evening. There was wood in case we wanted a fire in the wood stove, but the temperature was just right all night. The bed was comfortable and we slept soundly. Even though the house is split into two sections, we didn't hear much from the other couple who were on the other side. Definitely the best place to stay in Bodega Bay. Oh - did I mention the staff are always friendly, courteous, professional, helpful, and downright NICE!! read more

We lucked out in getting the Pelican #2, which is part of a house. We absolutely loved it. The backyard has a spectacular view and yard. My kids spent so much time out there. Everything is nice, clean and fresh. Having a kitchen was super helpful especially having kids who constantly ate. There is a nice jacuzzi too. Ignore those older reviews about the rooms being old. The owner has been upgrading the rooms with new furniture and stuff. We will definitely be staying here again! read more

Booked 2 nights on Orbitz. We stayed in the Water Tower which is super small. Some suggestions to make it better: 1) throw rug for the cold tile floors 2) ceiling fan for hot days 3) curtains instead of blinds to block out the sunshine & parking lot lights 4) Power strip instead of an extension cord with only 2 outlets. Had to unplug something to use the coffee pot. 5) Plug outlets behind bed are loose and our plug in items wouldn't stay plugged in so had to use the bathroom outlet Will never book the Water Tower room ever again. The few good things are there are a few places to walk to to grab a bite to eat instead of having to drive. read more

This is our go to while in Bodega! We have been coming here for years and look forward to it every time. The Inn has recently been updated and its clean, very cute ( coastal vibes) comfortable beds and animal friendly, which is huge for us. We love sitting outside on the Adirondack chairs overlooking the bay. George is the manager and is very warm and welcoming. He is a wealth of information when it comes to, beaches, dining etc.... One of our favorite things while staying at the Inn, is getting to chat with George ( even if it's just for a couple of minutes). read more

Spent one night Friday in the small room (2) with full size bed. Yes, small but only needed it to sleep in. The Inn is a little dated but super clean.

There was a coffee maker in the room but no coffee/creamer - thought they forgot. Only realized when checking out you collect the coffee/creamer from the front office!

Bodega Harbor Inn - View from the Adirondack chairs! - Hotels Near Me - Bodega Bay, California

Don't go off what their website says. The prices are not up to date the pictures are old. I asked the guy at the front desk to have the owner call me and I haven't heard back so I'm writing this review. The only thing about this studio garage called Pelican 1 is the view. The updates are cheap, the bed is horrible, the sheets feel like they are Sandy, the toilet belongs in a Barbie playhouse and the outside of the building looks like it should be condemned. The water side was like a mud pit with no landscaping, just broken glass bottle caps and rocks. The Adirondack chairs were nice to sit on to watch the sunset........that's all. I paid 270.00 for each night. Web site says 150 to 170. Even at that price it's a stretch. Granted I should have noticed and said something beforehand but I didn't until we checked out. The nice guy at the front desk was hesitant to say much because you can tell he's heard it all before and knows the issues. I'd rather stay at the Tides. It's way nicer and not trashy. read more

They tried hard. It's an obviously old motorcourt style motel, that they've done an excellent job, refreshing. New paint, clean rooms and linen. WiFi and Cable TV. Has nice common area for sitting outside with a great view of the Bay. Probably the cheapest place to stay in the area. HOWEVER, the rooms are small, 16x14 ft, with an adjoining full bath with tub, double bed, two nightstands, a chifforobe, one chair, no table, extremely tiny fridge. The walls squeked when you walked around. Our room had mold coming through the ceiling over the toilet. Thin walls. Didn't help that our adjoining neighbor decided to wake up singing! Sorry to say I wouldn't stay here again, I'd pay more for a nicer place. read more

This is a very cozy, smaller hotel on the bodega harbor. The staff is very friendly and the room has free WiFi. We booked a one night stay on Groupon that included a bottle of wine with our stay. Overall, I would recommend a stay here if you are looking for a comfy, not fancy stay. read more

My husband and I stayed a single night at the spur of the moment this last week. We picked the Bodega Harbor Inn for its affordability and were given an unbeatable rate to stay in the water tower. When we arrived there was a truly fun woman working the front counter gave us a key to check out our accommodations and to "see what we had done to ourselves", mentioning that people either loved the water tower or hated it. We looked at it and took it. Our room wasn't big, none of the individual rooms are particularly large from what I understand (although there are vacation homes on the site that can accommodate larger groups) but it was absolutely fine for the rate we paid. It was rather spare and in need of an update but it was also squeaky clean and comfortable. The only real complaint I had of the room was that it was incredibly damp when we were there but I think this is more a function of the fact that it's on the ocean than anything wrong with the structure itself. The property itself is quite lovely, clean and in a terrific location. We had no view of the ocean from our room but it didn't really matter as there are a variety of adirondack chairs and picnic tables arranged in a garden on the western side of the property where we were invited to sit and drink wine and take in the sunset. There is a continental breakfast in the morning that consisted of coffee, juice and a variety of fresh baked goods (in addition to a few items from Costco thrown into the mix.) Not quite the spread that you would get at a larger establishment but again, more than adequate for the price. I give this place five stars because it is exactly as advertised, the rooms are clean and comfortable, the staff was terrific and it is priced fairly. read more

First, I have to say the staff is friendly & kind. They provide muffins & other items for breakfast. --- I was a little leery though to eat after seeing my room. I have stayed in many places that are "inexpensive", but Bodega Harbor Inn needs to do a thorough cleaning -- "inexpensive or cheap" doesn't have to mean dirty. I had to clean the door knobs inside of the room. The knobs were dirty and sticky, the cloth I used to clean was black. This freaked me out. I went to the store specifically to purchase Clorox wipes so I could stay in the room. I kept my shoes on when I got out of the bed & when I got out of the tub. I removed the quilt because it wasn't clean. I was so uncomfortable. I know it's expensive to run an inn, but cleanliness is the cheapest thing to do. It goes a long way. When we entered the room there was an odd smell, they smell of a dirty mop. The coffee pot still had stains from the prior occupant. The top of the bed post was covered with dust! I cleaned the remote control & it was dirty. It's time to clean. It's a perfect location & the price is right, but I really don't like to share/see what the prior person left behind. read more

Quaint, basic and clean. Room had clorox and freshly laundered linen smell which tells me they're following covid protocols.

This is a Quaint little hotel. It does not have a lot of amenities. My biggest concern was the lack of security in the rooms. The only way to secure yourself in your room is the little lock on the doorknob. (I wedged a chair under the knob, pretty archaic but it worked.) It did not have a slidebars Or deadbolts. Which as a single traveler is important!!! Each bungalow had a porch light but more parking lot lighting would be appreciated. read more

Terrible. Hair in the "clean" sheets. The person at the desk insisted that the sheets were clean despite photographic evidence showing many hairs from a grey haired guy. Gross.
