Overall Ratings & Reviews Benbow Historic Inn

Excellent

Gorgeous property, excellent staff and service

People were nice but the room bed was rough. They never came and filled our shampoo or soap even though they said try would for a 3 day stay. I would go to Garberville instead and stay there plus they have more food options as well.

Classic inn with outdoor patio for dining or sipping a glass beside a fire pit. Staff are friendly and efficient (except the scones at High Tea were slow to arrive and gone in a flash...).

A classic resort hotel. A must see and stay.

Beautiful inn. Lots of little issues impacted our enjoyment however. Arrived at 340 but didn’t get into our room until 530 because they forgot to call us when the room was ready! (The new receptionist was very friendly when he found out) At check out they charged us again for taxes when our pre-payment included the taxes. They were reluctant to remove it.

It’s a very dated property in need of much care. Price is not reflected by condition of hotel and rooms.

Beautiful Historic Inn!!

What an amazing hotel! We want to come back in the summer months to enjoy the ambiance, scenery & staff! If you love history & service, this is a must see.

I came because of the EV charging, I was quite impressed with how nice the hotel was

This is a fabulous place to stay..

Room cleanup and daily clean didnt happen unless we chased them, TV and lightbulbs not working and an ant infestation.. not the best of stays.. hotel and restaurant were good

I felt like I stepped back in time. Food was good.

Gorgeous historic inn with beautiful warm sitting rooms on the first floor with games, a roaring fireplace, and relaxing music. Food can be ordered from the in-house pub to this room as well, or eaten in the pub or dining room, which are both beautifully decked out as well. Rooms have delightful victorian decoration and vintage character. This was a fantastic refresh after having stayed in soulless contemporary hotels for all of my last stays.

It was beautiful on the outside and inside. Very clean and looking great for an older hotel. No TV in the bedroom but we didn’t mind at all.

Overnight stay on our way to the airport from Arcata. Heard about this historical Inn and want to experience its charm. Dinner was superb. Staff very friendly. Holiday decorations were beautiful

Beautiful area

Staff was excellent. Very accommodating. Hotel was a literal time capsule. One of the best ribeye steaks I've ever had! Will definitely be back.

Room heater was not working and we slept feeling cold whole night. Lamps not working.

Very quaint, historic hotel. Some updates to bathroom noted, but still small. Faint musty smell to the room, but i guess you'll have that with a hotel that old. Would be better without carpet. Enjoyed the complimentary brandy, added to the charm of the room
