We recently stayed at the Hotel Dega. Check in is at 4pm and check out in 10am. But you can check in (2 ish) or out (12 pm) for a fee of $50 each respectively. We stayed in a King room with tub which was relatively inexpensive compared to other similar hotels in the area. The room was very nice and very clean. The bathroom was large and the tub beautiful and very comfortable to soak in. The room had a fridge/freezer combo, Keurig coffee maker, writing desk, and a patio with two chairs. The patio in this room and most rooms on the first floor were disappointingly right on the path. Anybody walking by would have no choice but to look at us while sitting on the patio which made it much less appealing to sit outside. I would recommend to the ownership to put up privacy panels on the sides of the patios. I think it would make a big difference. The patio had a sliding glass door but the screen didn't have a lock so we didn't feel comfortable enough to be able to leave the patio door open at all (shame since the hotel is on the bay) The place also has a rec room with a pool table and big screen tv, and an area with an outdoor jacuzzi. These were all a plus. Overall the place is very nice and at a very good price. The lack of privacy on the first floor was the only reason for the loss of a star. The place had read more

Pros: Rooms renovated and clean. Top floor rooms have vaulted ceilings and private balcony, which makes the space feel bigger. Location is near anything you want to do in Bodega. All nice. All safe. All comfortable. Lounge area is nice with a billiard tables. Facilitaties/outdoor spaces have not been renovated like the interior. Trash areas have stained floors and are the first thing you will see when entering your building. Fresh tan bark slides down slope and exposes the plastic. It could just look better. Suggestions: If you want a get-away experience bring the following items (because you may expect them, but they aren't there) Bath Robe, Slippers, nice shampoo and conditioner, extra pillows (there we none available), extra blanket to sit outside on brisk days/evenings. If you want a real coffee mug, bring one. Have a dog dog? Bring doggy-bags. Want a glass for your wine? Bring it- and bring the wine. Want a beach towel? Bring it. Bottom line: Reasonable rates, create the experience you want and prepare to bring what will make it amazing. Oh- and make the trip to Spud Point! read more

Recently stayed one night here and echo the same points as the previous recent reviews: quiet property right off the highway. The location is superb and offers decent views of the harbor. Comfy beds, updated amenities, a clean and warm room were appreciated. Only issues knocking down 1 star is: very thin-walled rooms. Definitely opt to get an upstairs room upon request. This will save you from hearing the people above you pace around their room. Double check the check-out time on your hotel invoice: my invoice says check-out time is 11AM but Hotel Dega inundates you with txt messages with early arrival options and late arrival options that insinuate that the check-out time is 10AM. This is rather odd as there is no official check-out process. Per the sign on the hotel lobby door, you just lock your room and leave. This seems to be an odd holdover from Hotel Zindel turning into Hotel Dega. And finally, how do I know this hotel used to be called Zindel? Because you will receive 25+ text messages over the course of your stay - beginning 48 hours prior to arrival and up to the time you leave - informing you of everything from welcoming you to the property, to early checkin/ late checkout options (addition fees), uploading your drivers license to their website for a "quick checkin" (note: this is impossible if you're on the highway without a solid internet connection), and other notes about your stay. Some of these automated messages still reference the old hotel name, signed off as - Hotel Zindel. There were so many messages from the hotel over the course of our weekend trip every phone notification became a game: human or Dega? Though the price we got for the room was not bad at all, the state of the property and the awkward policies (and the freaking txt messages !!) actually became a deterrent in returning in the near future. read more

Booking was easy, but check-in was a mess. The process is fully automated, and nothing on the reservation page warns you about this. We drove all day with no cell service, arrived cold and tired, and still had to connect to the hotel wifi just to register before we could get into our room. If we'd known sooner, we could've registered from home before leaving. The in-room guide book wasn't much help -- none of the recommended restaurants were open late. Worse, our room had no heat, and when we called the 24-hour line, we were told we'd have to wait until the next day for blankets. Unacceptable. Thankfully, another guest showed us how to use the room's heater ourselves, since the hotel didn't. On top of that, I could never get my laptop on the wifi and had to use my own hotspot for the whole stay. Hotel Dega needs to clearly disclose its check-in process, communicate better with guests, and make sure basics like heat and wifi actually work. read more

Stayed here for 3 nights and were lucky to take advantage of their Black Friday sale advertised on their website last month. The hotel appears to be recently renovated and modern. Check in is online/via text message; entry to room is via a code/keypad on door. Checkout is at 1000am and you just leave the "checked out" sign on your door. Lisa was helpful and communicative; giving us a phone number to reach her for any issues we had. We reserved a one king room with bathtub. It also had a patio, and slightly obstructed view of the bay. Our room was in building E, at the end of the complex. We could see highway 1 at our door, but weren't bothered by the sounds of cars passing by. The room was complete with a huge TV, Keurig (pods, creamer and sugar too!), microwave, mini fridge & freezer. The bed was comfy! Had a lovely and restful stay. read more

Different way of checking in for a hotel. It's all via text and mobile. You receive constant IMs from the host -- many helpful, but some not so much. (e.g., their online system for providing a credit card for incidentals never worked after three texts about it.) The host is very responsive to IMs. Check-in was very pleasant and efficient. It's all keyless entry. The rooms appeared to be recently renovated, probably in line with the name change (from Bodega Coast Inn and Suites.) The shower stalls are odd, as there is only a half glass door on the furthest portion, so water pools on the handle side on the floor! It takes one bath towel to soak it all up! But, at least you know the floors are clean. No bar/hand soap, so bring your own or use the body wash supplied. Also, since we're on the coast, there is no A/C. However, there should be a screen door on the slider to get fresh air in and to keep critters out, no? Odd. Parking is adequate for the size of the property. read more

So apparently this hotel was renovated for millions of dollars. They must've run up quite a bill because they can't see fit to have staff on the property after a certain time every day so these people are constantly texting you instead of making physical contact with you. They also didn't finish the renovation by adding actual ventilation to the rooms. None of the rooms have ventilation whatsoever, except for a slider that you have to open without a screen, which will let bugs in. They have no fan. They have no thermostat so if you want air during the night, you have to leave the slider open and compromise your security. When I complained about this to management they acted like it was a novel issue and said they would tell their management. Well, if you look at the reviews for this hotel, they know and clearly don't care about it or they would've fixed it. There was a loud beeping outside my slider that kept me up literally all night long that occurred every 10 seconds. I have a recording of it. When I tell management over the text about this, these bozos called the fire department who banged on my door at midnight. Had there been somebody on the property they could've come and listened to what it was and would've been more focused in their efforts to address it. Well the fire department came and they didn't do anything about it all night. I got no sleep. Because I had to leave my slider open all night to get air to breathe, I was subjected to an extra loud sound. I told them in the morning I was checking out for my second night, because I couldn't handle the noise all night in compromise sleep. They refused to refund me for the night that I didn't stay and I've had to dispute the entire stay on my credit card. Customer service clearly isn't important to this hotel or they'd have someone on the property to address guest concerns. These issues are not new, read the previous reviews. read more

We arrived at 8:00 PM, exhausted and ready to put our kids to bed. After receiving our room code, we entered the room only to discover that it was already occupied by another guest. Not only was this embarrassing and invasive for the guests staying there, but it was also concerning from a safety and privacy standpoint. We then had to wait while the issue was resolved over text message before being assigned a different room. While the second room was vacant, it was missing basic necessities like soap and towels. To make matters worse, after being given access to someone else's room, we spent the rest of the night worried that the same mistake could happen again and that another guest might unexpectedly enter our room. When we raised these concerns, the response was simply that they would "let the team know." There was no meaningful resolution, apology, or effort to make things right. If you're comfortable with the possibility of your room code being given to another guest, missing basic amenities, and poor customer service when serious issues arise, then this may be the place for you. Otherwise, I would recommend looking elsewhere. read more

I would not recommend staying at Hotel Dega. My girlfriend and I stayed here for our anniversary from April 10th to April 12th and had a terrible experience. We paid almost $600 for two nights, but the room was dirty and unsafe. When we arrived, there were poop stains in the toilet, crumbs all over the floor, and no shampoo. We asked for shampoo multiple times, but no one ever brought it. When we went to the lobby to get some ourselves, the front desk worker had to pour soap into a coffee cup because they were out. The worst part was our last night when my girlfriend stepped off the bed and cut her foot on broken glass that was left in the rug. We found even more pieces of glass after looking closer, which proves they never vacuumed. We told the staff and asked for a refund, and they told us they would need to speak to their management team first, which was fine with us. However, the following morning on check-out day, we sent a text asking for an update on the situation. They completely ignored the question and just sent a scripted goodbye text. I have emailed them twice and reached out to both Hotel Dega and the Somers Collection through Instagram DMs and comments over the last five days, but I have received no response. To make matters worse, I called customer service to speak to someone. They put me on hold and then hung up on me. When I tried to call back, they continuously declined my calls and eventually blocked my number. I actually had to call from a completely different phone just to get through to someone again. This hotel has extremely poor cleaning standards and clearly flees from conflict to avoid taking accountability for their mistakes. I wouldn't recommend staying there at all. read more

Our anniversary stay at Hotel Dega has been absolutely beautiful from beginning to end. Everything has been perfect -- we truly have not had a single complaint. The room was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully prepared. Every space felt well cared for, and the atmosphere made it so easy to relax and enjoy our time together. We are especially grateful to Lisa, the manager, who went above and beyond to surprise us for our anniversary. We walked into balloons, rose petals, and the most thoughtful details that made us feel truly celebrated. It wasn't just the decorations -- it was the care and intention behind them that meant so much to us. Hospitality like this is rare. We feel so thankful for the way we've been treated and for the beautiful memories created here. Thank you, Lisa, and the entire team at Hotel Dega for making our anniversary so special. We are leaving very happy and very grateful -- and we will absolutely be back. read more

This hotel is extremely cute. & the location couldn't be more perfect. Rooms are spacious & the king tub was an amazing way to start every day! The lounge upstairs would be perfect for a big group of friends or family to all hang out in. We loved almost everything about this hotel. Except the bed was very firm & the pillows too thick for my neck. Also they could really use some soundproofing as we could hear everything from the room above us. We will go again but will stay upstairs next time & bring our own pillows. It really is the cutest hotel in the area. There was also confusion with the check out time. When I booked online it said 11am which is standard. But the hotel said 10am when we got there. I wouldn't have booked if it was 10am. Luckily they let us stay til 11 since I had proof with my booking. read more

Lipstick on a pig. There were no CURTAINS in the room. When we told them they literally gave us a duvet that I guess we were supposed to hang over the curtain pole? We pathetically attempted but the poorly attached rod almost fell out. I attempted to ask for a different room but no one was onsite at the hotel to help and no one fixed the problem. Don't stay here. read more

Totally adorable cozy hotel. Perfect location next to bay! Our room, 122 might have been the best location. It had a view of the bay and a soaking tub. Very easy check in. I highly recommend. read more

Hotel Dega - View out our room. Such a peaceful stay! - Hotels Near Me - Bodega Bay, California

A nice room with plenty of space. I was caught off guard when there wasn't air conditioning and I had to leave the sliding glass door open to prevent the room from getting stuffy. The shower is awkward to use because there isn't a curtain or a door. It leads to water falling out of the shower. read more

Beautiful view and lovely layout. Grounds for the most part were nicely landscaped. (There were multiple unkempt areas - not sure why?) Heater didn't work and office was unavailable easily. To make it even more enjoyable, we awoke to what sounded like jack hammering above our room!! Had to leave early.... Sadly won't be back. :( read more

Let's start with the unacceptable: 1. the heater didn't work properly and went out completely-- twice; 2. there is no way to contact the front desk-- it has no phone. Therefore, stay with me here, you make your way outdoors to the front desk on this rather sprawling property in order to get any help. Made worse by pouring rain. Because we now knew where the unlocked electrical panel was located, we could take care of the second outage ourselves (also in rain but way closer than front desk). The room was pleasant enough and clean except for a disgustingly dirty shower curtain, which had to be changed out by the super helpful front desk person, because there is no housekeeping on site for most of the day. Sketchy electrical, no phone, no housekeeping--- those are management issues. Management appears to be at some remote location. read more

​I decided to cancel my stay during the booking process. The property felt more like an unsupervised short-term rental than a traditional hotel. Receiving door codes in advance gave the impression that there is no on-site management or immediate point of contact should any issues arise. read more

Great hotel, amazing staff, awesome views, and as cozy as it gets! The front desk lady Lisa was honestly our highlight. My fiancée and I went to bodega as a short trip after the proposal. Lisa was so personable. I don't mean in a forced-overly polite- typical hotel staff way, I mean in a genuine down to earth way that can't be trained. Also huge shoutout for the bathtub. read more

We had a great stay at Hotel Dega, thanks to Jenelle, our host. We were very happy with our rooms, great view of the bay and the amenities. Thank you! Sincerely, Mamta Jaya, John Suter Sacramento, CA read more

Picked this hotel because of how modern it looked on the website and reviews. It sure looks refined and modern in person! I was sent an email that I'd be getting a door code as soon as check in started. I didn't receive an email so we just went up to the front desk and were greeted by nice employees. Once we got our code and information about the hotel amenities, we parked right outside our room. The room is simple but is and looks newly renovated. We had an amazing view of the beach outside our window. We did have to close some of our curtains because other rooms had windows facing our windows. There isn't AC, or at least I didn't see, but honestly opening up the window and letting the ocean breeze come in was so nice. There was plenty of things to watch on TV, there's also Netflix and YouTube available. Would recommend this place to anyone visiting Bodega Bay for its competitive price and if you're more into modern hotels. read more

Such a quaint little spot, perfect for families! We stayed in the two bedroom suite and loved that it had a full kitchen and living room! The kids also enjoyed the game room as well! The perfect little coastal escape! read more

The hotel itself is right in the beginning of getting into bodega bay. We were greeted upon arriving and the receptionist said did you get the download from us to your phone? That's how we checked in so we had to do that online real quick. It was fast and easy but not sure if that's the only way to do it because we did check in at night. Other than that. Everything was smooth for the check-in process. Our room was right off to the side 126B the room was clean. It smelled good and our view was amazing . Fireplace a plus , water was hot for the shower and nice toiletries . It had a fridge and a microwave, it had a Kureg for coffee. All rooms also have a patio They don't serve breakfast . The jacuzzi is in the middle so close to all rooms they have a viewing deck and a 360 view above lobby. No fire pit . Overall stay was great, they could improve on the coffee and tea we didn't get any stirrers to stir our coffee not that big of a deal. You can also have a late check out for $50 price check out time is 10:00 am a little early For us other than that nice place to be in next to the water and close to all restaurants and shops. read more

Hella nice room, clean, modern and great view. Lisa went above and beyond with flowers, balloons & a birthday card for my wife! She loved everything and already wants to go back. Best trip to bodega bay. The stay was awesome read more

Amazing... Hotel Dega is the only choice for a Bodega stay ! First off the reception staff specifically Lisa and Janell were so courteous and friendly!! Our room was super clean and recently updated - great set up - spacious and cozy with an electric fireplace and stylish minimalist appointments. Our view was to die for - all the rooms face the bay and allow for a spectacular sights ... birds, sunset the whole nine, we utilized the game room - played some pool and next time will for sure try out the hot tub which looked very clean. This price was so good for the value ! I just loved everything about this hotel. We will be back read more

Nice rooms no air conditioner or fans and must leave the slider open for air. On 2nd floor no problem. Seems like confusing in consistent info texted but going under renovation too. Wish spa was warmer and jets harder flow of water. Otherwise great place. read more

Enjoyed our stay. Couple of quirky things about this hotel and the restaurant down the street: 1.) Something (or someone) woke us up at 3:00 am pilfering through the trash can by our door. 2.) Fan in bathroom wasn't functioning properly. Didn't seem to be wired properly. 3.) We had locked ourselves out of our room at 10:30 pm and couldn't recall our code! No one was available at the front desk and no one available via text or phone. We finally remembered it. 4.) When is checkout? The website had one time, the front desk had another and the SMS text had a different time! We left at 10:00 am just to be on the safe side. 5.) The interior was nice and our two dogs loved it. We had a great view of the bay. Our king sized bed was comfy and the electric fireplace was perfect. 6.) Close to Doran Beach! 7.) We were confused and disappointed by the restaurant down the road, "Captain Davey's" being closed the entire time we stayed, with vague signage as to exactly when they were open for business. Looks like that restaurant is more of a "hobby!" 8.) We will definitely return. Hopefully, the hot tub will be working. read more

so we never received a text to get into the hotel room so we did have to walk into the lobby to check in. kept receiving AI messages regarding our stay and someone would messages us. room was clean but then night time came. the hotel was not packed at all. we went to bed around 10 and was awake listening to above neighbors stomping the floor and banging until 330. this was heard through a sound machine turned all the way up as well.I reported the next morning to the hotel staff in the lobby that it sounded like construction going on. they read off names of who was staying in the rooms above us to me and one of them was going to that room. the said their was not any construction. she advised me she would handle this. the next night we heard the family arrive in their room around 10pm because the stomping and running the room started back up. they must of had a kid doing laps. anyways please ask for a top floor room at this hotel. read more

Great Hotel, super clean! Lisa at the front desk was super friendly and helpful. Amazing views from our room of the sunset and bodega bay. Would highly recommend. Will be coming back!! read more
