This is the first time I've written a review; but I check your website constantly before taking a trip and making a reservation. However, I felt compelled to write about The Lodge at Noyo River.

We spent 2 nights there at the beginning of October 2004. We were delighted with the location and were lucky enough to have a room overlooking the gardens. Our room was charming and comfortable, although my husband, who is tall, had trouble with the tiny shower.

Unfortunately, the breakfasts were very poor. There was a very mediocre buffet set up and the main dish of the day was very ordinary. The second day, the same croissants and chopped up coffee cake, (now stale) were served again, and the main course was some indedible dish concocted of eggs. We had to go into town and eat! Also, the owners were not particularly friendly or helpful in any way.

I am writing this because I feel The Lodge has the potential to be a little piece of heaven, but if falls short of achieving this. I do hope they can correct these problems.

We're moving up to the North Coast and have been joyfully staying at The Lodge at Noyo River. The staff is knowledgeable, the breakfasts are a treat and the rooms are eclectic as well as comfortable...especially the ones with soaking tubs! Each room we've stayed in has had fabulous views and well-thought out design. We'll be back!

My boyfriend and I came up to Fort Bragg for a little Romantic getaway and we stayed @ the Lodge at Noyo River. The place was absolutely beautiful and looks like a little bed and breakfast. I had booked us the Honeymoon suite overlooking the harbor. The large clean room had a huge tub for 2 and a fireplace along with a wrap around deck. The room had little skylights too. The room was a little off to the side of the house so we had our own privacy...The huge king bed was soooo comfortable. The next morning they cooked us breakfast, which was very tasty as well....scrambled eggs, bacon, croissants, and a few other goodies. The AAA rate for this suite was only $124!! The regular rate I think is $179! I got a great deal with AAA and a perfect romantic getaway....I will definately be back.
