The Time I Finally Got To Stay in a Victorian Room
From the first visit to this beautiful coastal town, it had become a goal of mine to stay in Mendocino Hotel, except that it's beyond my price range.
Thus when Travelzoo featured a deal on a 2-night stay in Mendocino Hotel, I immediately hit BUY on the screen and started planning for an anniversary get-away. This post however is only focusing on the hotel.
I was so psyched to stay in the hotel, because aside from it's historic past, it's also located centrally in the main street facing the water. However, the voucher was for a stay in the garden suites. I didn't even know they have garden suites. They have about 3 houses I believe and each one has about 4 suites. The structure isn't exactly what I'd imagine a Victorian house would be like.
But the interior is pure Victorian.
The sitting area is simple.
A bottle of wine and a cheese plate came with the room
It was a very cozy room. After the long drive from the East Bay, it was nice to rest in a warm cozy room for the night.
OUR WORLD TUESDAY

ReplyDeleteBeautiful room, beautiful hotel, beautiful location. Perfect anniversary getaway. How lovely to have a wine and cheese tray waiting for you .... you are a great travel planner/shopper. Good job on snagging the room. (Gotta love that Victorian TV on the wall too ;>)..
ReplyDeleteI'm glad it lived up to your expectations. What a treat for you.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots, very memorable place.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful and elegant hotel. I'd love to own one of those Victorians in San Francisco.
ReplyDeleteGrand interiors. It looks royal!
ReplyDeleteLovely! I had such a great experience in Scotland!
ReplyDeleteThat house is so ramantic, perfect for an annivesary get away. I too prefer to stay in quaint bed and breakfast when traveling... it just brings out the essence and culture more than staying in hotel buidlings. Happy Holidays!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful place!
ReplyDeleteJust what the doctor ordered, I'd say, Maria! Congratulations on yet another anniversary. What number was it, if you don't mind my asking?
ReplyDeleteThe building in the top picture reminds me of the typical cowboy town hotel in see in movies. Is that an American Victorian architectural style?
ReplyDeleteI like the cozy looking interiors.
What a very pretty place to stay! If I ever visit that area of CA I will try to book a room there.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a nice hotel and the breakfast made me drool especially the cheeses. :)
ReplyDeleteYou have such a nice blog, thanks for reading mine! :)
A fine account with pictures of a dream realized. I'm glad you got to experience this pretty place.
ReplyDeleteA delightful dream come true!
ReplyDeleteHello Maria, Merry Christmas. Where will your feet be this time? I haven't heard of this tunnel yet, but it's lovely. I wish you have the shot just before the entrance, wonder how it looks. What is the length of the tunnel?
ReplyDeleteSuch wonderful treat for your anniversary. What are the odds of finding nice deal for your dream hotel for such special occasion? You were blessed. The hotel is lovely indeed. I love that old phone; certainly added to the charm of the room. I can just guess that there were a lot of wonderful things to see and do around the area and that you enjoyed yourself.
