There was no staff when we arrived so we had to go to a sister property a few blocks away to check in. There is no maid service unless you file a special request. It seems like an abandoned business with no one in charge or managing it. The bed was extremely uncomfortable with no support. My back hurt from sleeping in it. The furniture is old, broken down and dingy. We highly regret choosing the Hill House Inn.

Very Decent Place to Stay
Easy check-in/check-out. Staff was friendly, though we did get some incorrect info about what restaurants were open. Room has a bit of a musty/old smell, but otherwise clean. The blankets are a bit thin (but there were extras available), and the towels a bit scratchy. Great location, and lovely view of sunset colors!

We loved our stay at Hill House. It is an older establishment so expect the rooms to be dated, but it was clean and comfortable which was most important to us. The staff is wonderful and very helpful. We would definitely recommend staying there.

An old room in an old hotel that needs MAJOR upgrades or demolition. Heater barely worked, no bedspread, no amenities! Fonad another place to stay. It was quiet, as very few rooms were occupied.

This facility was the top hotel for guests of Mendocino . The place is run down and needs a loving upgrade. We remember the hotel from the "Murder she Wrote" days. The staircase up to our room was needing repair. Bathroom fixtures are old and not wired right. the bathroom has two fans and no heater. Our stay was no better than a Motel 6.

DownHill House Do NOT let them put you in Room #122... It is under the stairs & in front of the Ice machine. Noisy,noisy,noisy. The rooms are dated & everything is stained &/or sticky. It seems like management just doesn't care. Staff was pleasant & attentive, but if the owners don't care the hotel is going to go down hill!

Durty, the floors were not vacuumed. Balls of hair all over all over, safety pins on the carpet., no air, or fan, no screwns on sliding doors or windows we are very uncomfortable. Worst place we have ever stayed at. Never again. What dump for such a high price. No one came in to dump the garbage can or see if we needed anything. I called the front desk for a fan because it was very hot and no air circulation and the said they had all been given out. In other words, to bad, so sad.. This is not right to take advantage of people with false advertising. They claim Oceanview, and the hedges block the filtered veiw of the ocean. This should not be allowed.
