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.
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.
Cute little cottage room , nothing fancy but very cozy.
walkable small town with amazing views of the coast.
make reservations at restaurants as some were all fully booked on a Sunday.
warm and friendly welcome from the host.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
I loved the staff. Very friendly and helpful. Room’s were quaint and beautiful. I think they would benefit greatly if they did some renovation’s.
Words cannot describe how delightful this inn is. Lovely, view rooms, attentive staff, and a gourmet breakfast. This inn is within ez walking distance of shops, the pub and other Mendocino attractions.
Lovely hotel with exceptionally friendly staff. The cottage was very comfortable and quiet, and breakfast was delicious. Great place to stay in Mendocino.
Just beautiful! Everything you expect a quaint B&B to be. Spotless, accommodating, welcoming, room is lovely. Every detail has been taken care of. We love it!
We had a wonderful Christmas at the Headlands Inn! Everything was top-notch! The room was amazing (Strauss room), very comfortable, with beautiful views of the stormy ocean and the town. We would love to return!
My husband and I really enjoyed our stay here. The room was spotless, the bed very comfortable and it was incredibly quiet all night until daylight (which in early November is late!). The host was very friendly and showed us a couple of the other rooms, they are all equally lovely. The location is a close walk to everything in town. If you open the window you can even hear the surf crashing in the distance.
