I asked for 2 non-smoking rooms. We got there at 1230 AM and no one was around to let us have our keys. I had called to say I would be in late. I had to knock on all the windows and finally someone handed us two sets of keys for the two rooms. Luckily I did not get room 108 - but I had brought Febreeze. The room smelled like someone had been smoking in it for every. I had room 202 and it did not have any of that. The next day, we could not get into our rooms. We had to go to the front desk to have the keys fixed; went back to our rooms only to return because the keys still did not work. After three visits, the keys finally were correctly fixed. Room 108 had people standing out the door all night talking. My daughter did not get much sleep.

Fort Bragg is a small town north of Mendocino. I was thinking of booking a B&B, of which there are many around here, but we were planning to do a lot of outside stuff and we weren't going to be in the room a lot. We were looking for a good value (<$100 rooms with fridge and microwave) and found it here at the Super 8. We don't normally like Super 8's because some of the ones we've seen are not in good neighborhoods (auto shop, tattoo parlor type). That's not a problem here - it's surrounded by other hotels and motels.

It used to be the Surrey Inn (local?) but now it's an independently owned Super 8. The pantene shampoo and vaseline lotion toiletries were a nice touch. It's small but clean and the queen bed was among the most comfortable I've stayed in. There's free continental breakfast, free high speed internet and we can can walk a short distance to the Perko's restaurant across the parking lot for cheap eats, the nice Cliff House restaurant across the street for fine dining, and the bluffs overlooking Noyo Harbor. We do have to drive to downtown Fort Bragg, but downtown has the Train Depot and I'm glad we don't hear the train.

We have great timing visiting because we accidentally stumbled upon the annual Wild Salmon BBQ, which is followed by the town's 4th of July fireworks at Noyo Harbor, so we get to see double fireworks this year and we don't have to drive. Reserve in advance, not the day of - this place was booked for this BBQ weekend.

From Upperlake, CA I travel to Fort Bragg often and I have found that the staff at the Super 8 Motel to be the friendliest in Fort Bragg. The rooms are not spacious but very clean and cozy. I am not a light sleeper so what little traffic noise there is doesn't affect my sleeping. They also serve a very simple but nice breakfast of bagels and cream cheese, sweet rolls, and fresh fruit. Triple "A" plus to the Fort Bragg Super 8 Motel and their staff.

We booked two queen beds and got one queen bed and a lumpy rollaway
bed.
The rollaway bed would only fit by cramming it between the window and
the bed. There seems to be a local sport of hooting at early hours in
the parking lot. The staff had attitudes like DMV workers. In short:
A rotten place to stay!
