Old time decor and a fun destination. The on site restaurant and bar was really good. My only issue, which is always my issue, it was expensive, but in this case it was worth it.

We liked the quaint charm of this historic inn and the staff was excellent. Our server in the restaurant, Juan, was exceptional and met all our needs. The patio was an excellent place to watch the 4th of July fireworks show. My only complaint is the windows in our room (204) needs work, they would not close and lock properly.

We loved everything about the bimbo historic Inn. The ambience is amazing. The only thing we truly hated, and it might prevent us from coming back is the discomfort of the bed. We had a queen size, and it appeared to be a spring mattress versus the newer foam style, we found it to be extremely uncomfortable

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.

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.

I put down $100 for incidentals. We purchased 2 drinks at the bar. Reviewed our bill and was furious. A 7.33 tourism fee was charged and a $25 resort fee was charged. The 2 drinks were $20. All in all the resort charged us $54.44. I was blind sided by the add on to our far bill. Is this how you treat your guests.?

Not a particularly motorcycle friendly staff. We pulled up to check in and a staff member immediately came outside and said that the parking area we were in was for people registering. I told him that’s exactly what we were doing and he said he didn’t see any luggage and I pointed out the two duffel bags strapped to the bike. Later they allowed two vehicles to park there all night. We were accused of smoking twice because someone below us was smoking a cigar. Rude staff!
