Pros: Nice spacious room.
Cons: My room was on the first floor, and had an extra door to the outside. I was surprised to find it unlocked. Apparently, the lock in the door handle didn't work and the deadbolt was left open. At least I could lock the deadbolt from the inside & outside.
The community kitchen has several Mr Coffee coffeemakers. The one I used did not make the coffee very hot.

Pros: Bodega Bay is a small community with limited options. This Inn is conveniently located between town and the bay. Easy to get to fishing docks and the point. Was clean, comfortable and quiet. Enjoyed sitting on our deck with a glass of wine and a book after a long day of fishing. Staff was very helpful. Talking with other visitors it definately was a good value.

Pros: The bed was very comfortable.
Cons: The shower head was horrible. It needs to be more concentrated instead of rain like. I could hear the person below me snoring. Thank goodness I brought earplugs. There should also be more storage in the bathroom right next to the shower, a small table or something. The floor in the bathroom was freezing. There should be some throw rugs or something in there. There should be a shower hook next to the shower for your towel. We did not have a good view. There is nobody there to talk to staff wise. Everything was off site. Unmarked parking had us walking through bushes and over an embankment because a car parked in our entrance way.

Pros: It was cute that they had dvds you could choose from and take back to your room and popcorn to go with it.
Cons: They didn't offer anytype of breakfast. For as much as you are paying they should. And offer mini fridges in the rooms. Instead you have to share one big fridge and you don't know if someone could touch your food.

Pros: The Inn is within walking distance of a handful of restaurants (although most close midweek). The Inn has a useful kitchen room with plenty of crockery, a microwave and coffee makers for free use of guests
Cons: Our room had a deeply unpleasant smell - similar to bad drains - and the carpet was filthy. The yard area behind our accommodation block was unkempt and there was a generally neglected and tatty feel about the place. Given the price for rooms the value for money is extremely poor. We guess the high price reflects the lack of alternative options along this area of the coast.

The Inn upgraded us to a big king room because it was a slow night, and we had a spectacular dinner at the Michelin star restaurant across the parking lot. Not the most updated accommodations, but a great find!

Pros: Like having use of the kitchen and refrigerator a lot. Good for leftovers.
Cons: Some people are able to park, illegally, but when they do it blocks access to many apartments, including mine. Staff was good about asking them to remove car. Would be better to post a sign or something to that nature to prevent any kind of parking in that area.
