This motel charges $50 for early checkin...In a room with 2 queen beds, both had soiled linens/blankets.Quite loud and not very relaxing. we heard the neighbor a lot through the very thin wallsThe mattress was just okay, woke with back pain.Would not recommend as this cost just short of $200 for one night stay. Hotel price for cheap motel experience.
OVERPRICED and over rated.Indoor pool isnt open until 11am just FYI.We booked this hotel for the pool as we have a toddler and expected to use it in the morning, before going out to our sight seeing. We did not book it to spend our time during the day here at the pool. They charge for this amenity yet wont allow access until right at check out.The rooms were also not very clean, the carpet has to be over 20 years old.
I have been very disappointed with the service of this establishment, I had several issues with my short two day stay. First off a house keeper entered my room while my girlfriend was asleep and startled her. As she was asleep and the housekeeper didnt knock. The manager inferred that we were making it up. Second i had no room service during our stay and had to ask for towels and takeout our own trash. Thirdly the bed frame had sharp metal sticking out of the frame which i hit my knee on getting into bed causing a bruise. As well as my girlfriend hitting it too. Fourthly the manager was very rude and inconsiderate. We payed over $300 for the two nights. And i was completely disappointed with the outcome of our stay. It ruined the trip for my girlfriend. I would not recommend staying her as the manager was very rude and patronizing.
We booked online. Our room had icky carpet, not what is pictured. There was a hole in the wall and the room had a closed up odor. They do not have pet only rooms we were told. But what got me was the check out receipt was $52 less than what I prepaid. When I asked, the host told me it was a credit card fee for booking through Capital One Travel. I called her bluff on that, I called COT and COT called her. Seabird did receive all the money we paid them. So, not honest, not a $200 room stay by far. We were not given a room to the online pic, stinky room with a hole in the wall and over charged for the room we got. If management wants to reach out, I will be happy to post that this was handled professionally.
This is a five star for a two to three star hotel. I think this is a great example of a 3 star hotel. Guest service is awesome, however the property is not great. The walls are paper thin so you hear everything (it’s an old building) the “indoor pool and spa” is small - not great - but maintained. That being said, half the rooms have an ocean view which is stellar. I feel like the owners are doing the best they can with an old building. My guess is the California Coastal Commission (a communist leftist people hating group) makes it impossible to upgrade it. I would only ask they put security bars on the doors.
What a disappointment. Where to begin? Ill start with the bathroom. There was low tp and no tissues. The remote and TV was acting weird. Somebody left the fridge door open so it took a while for my fridge to cool down and be useful. The free breakfast they had funny tasting scrambled eggs and they did not agree with my stomach. And then, the crowning jewel of my stay- a humongous bug was running around on my pillow and freshly (?) made bed. I caught it and took a photo of it and shared it with the clerk at the front desk the next morning. Its rare that I write a review for something, but this place needs to be shared as a warning to other travellers. Find another place. Its not worth it. I can only hope other people have had a better experience than me and that maybe management at this place can make some simple changes, like spraying for bugs.
Its very outdated. The bed makes a creaking sound every time you move and bathroom fixtures are corroded. Cleanliness is decent though.
Dog friendly with a private patio. Waffles eggs and sausage for breakfast among other choices. Indoor pool and hot tub. Wifi. It has everything and is laid back. My dog Sweetheart loves it here.
Simple rooms. Somewhat of an ocean view. Yes, you have to look past a parking lot and offense but for the price this place is decent. The room was clean. Yes, the carpet is outdated but my feet were not black as described in previous reviews. The pool and the hot tub are small but they work and they were clean. Staff was wonderful. Breakfast is basic and simple. Youre right in the middle of town, walking distance to many restaurants and beaches. The bed was clean and warm and comfortable. Solid choice for the price.
The wife and I really enjoyed our one night here at the Seabird. Front desk check in was smooth and the girl at the desk was friendly. She recommended where to get some great coffee and breakfast the next morning. Hotel room was clean and large. Great pizza place at Round Table next door. The beach is right across the street. We would stay here again.
We booked our reservation in January for June 2023. Upon checking in I was not notified of any additional fees. Once I checked out I then received 2 separate charges - one for a $45 bed fee tax which was not applicable when we booked. Another for a pet fee. I was not sent a receipt nor notified of any fee. I called the hotel back and the staff let me know after the fact what the fees were for and attempted to justify a software error for failing to notify customers. I had to call and ask for a receipt for my surprise charges. Make sure you pay in cash to avoid surprise fees.
Laid back atmosphere and very helpful staff.Dillon was Awsome.Pool and spa were great, everything spotless.Only down fall was the Bed in 121 needs to be replaced. It’s past worn out and terribly uncomfortable.
We had a great time at the Seabird Lodge. We picked this motel because it is pet friendly, had a pool and breakfast. We really enjoyed the pool/hot tub and the breakfast was good. The beds werent the most comfortable but it was still a nice stay. Also, everyone who worked at the front desk during our stay were very nice & helpful.
This place is the worst spot Ive stayed around here breakfast ends at 830 and the walls are hallow the front desk isnt much help and I was over charged for this stay on my birthday to make it worse I hate this hotel motel 6 has better service
We love staying at the Seabird Lodge every time we visit Fort Bragg. Their front desk staff is always friendly and helpful and the rooms are always clean. We also love that we can reserve a room with a kitchen so we can cook on our longer trips. The indoor pool and hot tub is such a great perk too!
Positive: The hotel was within walking distance to several restaurants. Negative: The room was very dated.
Positive: Not a lot. Negative: They stole 40 dollars from us. Blaming us for a missing towel we never received.
STAY AWAY!$170 for a motel 6 style room.-heater didn’t work-no useful windows-‘patio’ was a triangle shape with maybe 4 square feet of usable area, surrounded by a 6 foot tall ugly fence-bathroom sink not even in the bathroom-clock wasn’t working-staff not present when I wanted to express concerns-photos on website don’t represent the room AT ALL.I was in the room for all of 1 minute and these were the details that were blatantly obvious. I’m sure I would have had more to express.When I finally was able do express my concern the Manager on duty, Hanna, she was unable to do anything due to the ‘firm policy’ they have in place. Completely unwilling to try and make things right.10/10 would not recommend. I wouldn’t stay there even if I was paid.(North Cliff Hotel across the street was accommodating and offered up a king suite with jacuzzi tub for $40 more)
The room was clean, but run down like the rest of the building. There isnt any form of air-conditioning in the room and it was hot. There was a small desk fan available but it wasnt adequate. The bathtub didnt drain appropriately. The beds were ridiculously comfortable. There was a coffee maker, fridge, and microwave which was nice. But for what we paid, I am disappointed in the room which is why I decided on the lower rating.
We loved everything about our stay...the staff is very friendly! Our breakfast was yummy and free. They are 🐕 dog friendly, heated Indoor pool and hot tub. We will be back. Great prices 😀Edit **** Ive stayed here 3 times now and have great service each time. Walking distance to restaurants, stores and coffee ☕️
Positive: The staff was courteous and friendly, the room was clean nothing special but this is not a 3 1/2 star service motel. Negative: The room we stayed in needs updated. There were stains on the linoleum in the bathroom and the wallpaper was curling. Again the room was clean but very outdated and just not a 3 1/2 star experience.
The staff was courteous. The rooms were not adequately cleaned. The linoleum floor needed a good mopping…childrens feet and socks were filthy from walking on it. Front desk staff weren’t able to make changes to our billing in a timely manner…need more training. Breakfast was standard free hotel food.
The room was clean, TV was modern and the internet speed was above average. Kureg coffee maker was a nice touch.It was a bit musty smelling, no hair dryer and the hot water seems to be shared with other rooms. Staff were friendly and helpful.For the price Id look for a place with views of the ocean.
This spot is at a great location (why I booked here). Fort Bragg is a fun little town. For future references we will not be returning just because the next day there was not much to do and can drive out and back in one day.The staff was friendly and welcoming however, the hotel could use some upgrades.
Well, it wasnt horrible. The room was relatively clean (except the carpets, which were nasty) and there was coffee. It was right off the highway and the noise was loud. The noise from the angry couple upstairs might have been louder, however. The room was outdated and in disrepair. The sink was clogged, the shower leaked, the wallpaper was peeling, and the metal baseboards were rusty/moldy/peeling and pulling away from the wall. There was no air conditioning, and it smelled very stale. It is not a lodge. Its a trashy motel. I will never stay there again. Wish we had paid an extra $25-$30 to stay at a place a little more upscale.
Positive: Spacious standard room. Fans in room to assist with ventilation (no AC). Microwave and fridge standard as well as coffee maker. Negative: Lumpy, hard mattresses. Room and fixtures dated and did not give a sense of cleanliness. Upon entering the room, bedspread looked as if itd been sat on. Toilets very low...difficult for older guests.
Im giving them a break because they allowed my group to check in early (4:00 was too late as we were just arriving to town for a... 4:00 wedding, needed a bit to change after a 6 hour drive). Im just going to assume they ran out of time to mop the floors. We were in the room no more than 20 minutes before I, in my bare feet, noticed my soles were black with dirt. I had my daughter show me her feet...(keep in mind, we were coming from different places so no way can we blame any previous dirty floors) also...black from filth. Also, the room patio had clearly not been cleaned since... I dont know...the last rain storm? (long time. youd get the joke if youre from California) other than that..room was fine. Toilets flushed and hot water worked. Nice that breakfast was offered, but given there is still a Covid issue, we chose to go elsewhere.
To Booking and management and yelpI like to see your response, That was one of the worse hotel ever. No AC, sheets around box spring were black so you don’t see stain. Carpet have stains in few areas. Bathroom sink is outside of the bathroom totally un Sanitize with dirty hands you have to open the door and wash your hand. Wrong advertising for view, do not fall for it, They charge 5 dollars and some cents for view, what a joke, you look outside from balcony you will see roof of one story restaurant and lg garbage bin, 6.00 am garbage track woke us up to empty the garbage. No elevator or at least we were not told. List goes on. Breakfast - cold coffee, eggs tough - I am traveler and I never had that experience. Go to chain hotel is much better even Motel 6I want my money backOn Sep 6, 2022, at 2:22 PM,
Extremely overpriced for what you actually get. Rooms are ok, but the beds and pillows were not very comfortable. Did not sleep well at all. Someone’s car alarm went off repeatedly throughout the night, adding to the lack of sleep and to top it off the alarm clock went off at midnight, waking us up yet again. We chose this place over another similarly priced one because it had a hot tub, but we were not even allowed to use the hot tub because it was being serviced. We should have known we made a poor choice when the girl working the reception was unwelcoming and actually walked away forcing the guy (manager?) in the back office to come out and help me. They allow pets for an added fee, but the dog run area is just an overgrown patch of weeds that is not fenced in and not stocked with supplies. And finally the vending machines were less than half stocked so you couldn’t even get a bottle of water.Would definitely NOT stay there again and DO NOT recommend.
The young woman who checked us in on Thursday afternoon the first week of June was very attentive, helpful and kind. I enjoyed the hot tub and pool and the women at the front desk Friday morning made me coffee even after I missed the continental breakfast. Would definitely stay again!
Love this hotel! New owners are very helpful and committed to bringing this hotel to the highest standards. The bed was comfortable, the room spacious and clean. Hotel is pet friendly....just wish pet owners would not lock their dog in the bathroom and leave. There is no air conditioning but the ocean breeze was more than enough. Who needs air conditioning on the coast anyway! Will continue coming here to stay as we have for years! Owner is prior military so please stay at this hotel and support our prior military.
We had multiple horrible experiences during our stay here.The room was very dirty, and the sea view that was advertised was simply a view of a parking lot with homeless people hanging around all night.We dont mind these usual setbacks, and were only there for the night so decided to stay. However, upon checking out they tried to charge us a LARGE fee for a strange smell in the room. Neither one of us smoke.We had to argue for quite some time with the front desk (I have a video of said interaction) to get this overturned.I cant express the stress it took to desperately get our money back from someone who seemed to want to scam us. It almost ruined our whole day and trip.I would understand if this was an issue that was justified but we had not used anything other than coffee that would provide a strong smell. We really felt some of the staff was pocketing the extra charges, and the front desk woman was extremely unaccommodating and unfriendly.Were very kind people and this was absolutely the worst experience Ive had at a hotel.We later spoke to some locals at a restaurant and they confirmed this is the WORST place to stay in the Ft Bragg/Mendocino area. Just wanted to warn folks!
Couldnt check in even at 4pm because the rooms werent ready and to check back in a hour. I had 2 kids with me one sick and disabled and after a 4 hour drive both tired. Receptionist wasnt any help nor willing to give any answers other then not ready. Asked if there was anything they could do or any other rooms and was told no nothing was cleaned or guest ready. with no help had to calling booking and situation took 30 more minutes than all of a sudden they had a room ready. Put us right above office and slanting flooring. This hotel doesnt have ac and room was muggy from it being a hotter day. wifi router blinked red and blue lights all night and was very unpleasant. And bed was wore out and slid off to one side in room 202. Didnt sleep well at all and very uncomfortable. Whole stay was unpleasant. Kids did go swimming but because we didnt get into room till 5pm and closed at 10 didnt get much time. Also since you dont check in until 4pm thats the only time you get pool access because it doesnt open the next day until 11 and thats check out. pretty l disappointed all the way around. Did have a breakfast that was ok but very slim on options. Also room on 2nd floor didnt have a top lock and with two children and one being autistic it was hard to keep blocking because they could open the door right up and run outside on uneven slanted flooring to room.
So week just stayed a week at the Seabird. August 2021. When we checked in, the clerk at the window said no linens would be changed during our stay. Due to drought conditions in California. They didn’t say nobody, would clean the room take out the trash, or give me clean towels. This information would have been good to know so that, I could have brought my own towels and wash clothes.The room was clean, but the carpet was a mess, feet got dirty had to wear shoes all the time. Kids couldn’t play on the floor it was so dirty. We called directly to the hotel to book our room, to get a handicap room, only to find out that it was rented out from under us. The doors weather striping needed to be replaced, we could see the light from the outside shinning in at night. They offer a pool and spa for guest use, I don’t think anyone checks it out once it opens, it was nasty when I took my 4 and 6 year old to swim. So I would not recommend this hotel.
It was very expensive for what we got. Rooms were not very clean, pool area was not clean as well. Sheets had marker stains (I think) on them. Breakfast area was small and could not accommodate all the people wishing to dine. Breakfast was scheduled until 8:30 and they ran out of food at 8:00 and did not add more.
Best hotel in the area. It’s clean, staff was friendly, and had a view of the ocean from our room. It’s a very basic hotel. I do not typically stay in hotels in where the rooms open to the outside, but that’s really the only option in the area unless you want to pay $400+ per night (at least at the time I spent here). The room had a fridge and a microwave, which I did not expect. No outlets by the bed, which was a bit of a pain. Flat pillows, but mattress wasn’t bad. Overall it was a good stay for what we needed. Honestly, much better than I expected. I give it a 4 star review because of a few basic things: flat pillows, thin walls, and simply because the doors open to the outside of the building and that makes me a little uncomfortable. Most importantly though, the room is clean, no bugs at all, and everything functioned in the room as intended.
We stayed here with our daughter and my parents. The rooms were very clean. Beds were comfortable and clean with plenty of pillows of varying firmness. This is a non chain hotel run by a family, and you can tell the owners are putting their all into it. We met them and they were incredibly nice and friendly. We will definitely stay here again and happy to support a small family business.
Stayed 4 nights here. Typical Fort Bragg Motel. It was clean, had a comfortable bed, and is centrally located. Not sure of rules during the pandemic, but no one came in the room for towels, bedding, making the bed etc for all the stay. I was ok with it, just did not know if that is the new normal. I would stay here again.
The place is in the heart of Fort Bragg, its very close to a lot of nice and worth visiting restaurants, all the must see beaches and parks are like 5 to 10 mins drive. Their continental breakfast is so decent and I love the waffles. Sure will be back and would love to stay longer.
This is the ONLY place where Ill stay in Fort Bragg from now on!Comfortable. Quiet. Affordable. Great location in town. Really happy.Booked at Seabird Lodge during the height of tourist season because the previous hotel we had stayed at raised their price by over 3x what it had been 2 years ago. We were afraid of what we were going to find once we got into our room. BOY were we pleasantly surprised!We stayed for three nights & not once did we ever hear other guests talking in their rooms nor tv noise. Both my husband and I were happily surprised. The sound dampening seems to be great quality from what we could tell.The bed was extremely comfortable despite both of us needing different firmness. Neither of us had any discomfort nor tossing or turning. The bedding was clean and free of anything I would consider suspicious to be removed off of the bed. I thoroughly checked for creepy crawlies and found NO SIGN of any. COMPLETELY CLEAN! The pillows were comfortable was well.The room was clean and tidy. It looked to be recently updated. The bathroom was clean and had no issues. The complimentary soaps were pretty good quality and didnt dry my skin out.The satellite tv was nice. Husband was happy it had a TON of channels to keep him entertained while unwinding at night.This is the ONLY place in town that I know of that is serving a complimentary HOT breakfast in the morning for its guests. Its served from 6:30-8:30 am in the Breakfast Room. There are biscuits & gravy, sausages, scrambled eggs, home fries, a selection of different cereals, fruit, muffins, toast, milk, juice, etc. Plenty to fill your bellies and keep you going until lunch time.The pool was clean and enjoyed by many of the guests we saw coming & going during the day. Its indoors and protected from the elements.The staff we talked to, were friendly and so nice. They genuinely enjoy being there helping their guests. I would HIGHLY recommend booking your stay with Seabird Lodge. We enjoyed our stay and like I said at the beginning, were only staying here from now on. ❤
This was the backup pet-friendly option as our first option was sold out of pet-friendly rooms. I like a clean room, this was…okay. It reminds me of a best western or quality in. We paid over $250 due to high demand everywhere. I understand places are trying to re-coup after the pandemic, but this was not worth that cost. There are stains on the “new” carpet. Someone had obviously locked their pet in the bathroom because there were scratches all along the inside of the door and the carpet at the door was torn. The noise level is louder, no sound-proofing because the building is quite old. It smells of a room that used to be smoked in. Photos online show that it’s been updated, and it has…except the bathrooms and sink outside of the bathroom - these are old and dirty. This is fine for a quick stay, honestly it is, but it is in no way an updated hotel worth the price of staying at a very nice hotel.
We enjoyed our stay here at Seabird Lodge. My husband was approached by 2 homeless people when we first got there but other than that it wasnt too bad. The staff was very nice and we definitely would stay here again.
The hotel was fine and the staff was good. Only problem was that the room was a little pricey for what we got.
The view was decent and the person at the front desk was friendly. We picked this place because it was a decent enough price and we could bring our dog. Only complaint, but its the most important, is that the bed was so hard you might as well sleep on the floor. We got hardly any sleep and woke up incredibly sore because of it.
Breakfast was an absolute joke. Waffles, no syrup. Cereal, no spoons. Biscuits that werent put out. Fruit that wasnt put out. Girl working had an unbelievably bad attitude.Walls are paper thin between rooms.Like other people have said, theres no AC and it gets hot. Request a bottom floor room. Hard pressed to even give this place 2 stars.
The lodge was clean, affordable, and a great location of for a quick stop through Fort Bragg. I was impressed with how clean the room was and the comfort of the beds. We would absolutely stay again if we came through the town.
They had an indoor pool and hottub, the pool was open all night. The rooms were well stocked with coffee (but they are stingy with their creamers)The beds were super cozy (we sleep on top and bring our own blankets) but they werent hard or lumpy.Its like 5min drive from the main warf. Kids had a great time, and it seemed like a safer location, since the police station is nearby
Pool and hot tub were nice and clean. Room was spacious and clean. Staff was a delight! The lady in charge of breakfast was incredibly diligent, polite and helpful! Am definitely coming back here and will def recommend!
Stayed with family during thanks giving. Available with complementary breakfast and rooms are neat and clean. Mini fridge is available and running on older type room heater. Reasonable price.
Cost us over 200 a night for 2 adults and 2 10 lb chulhulias, no air conditioning, which is okay if you like to sweat while you try to sleep...room smelled heavily of ammonia... even after using a whole bottle of extra strength frebreez.. decent breakfast
We made this reservation because there was no place left in forte Bragg. So I thought we stay somewhere fancy. What a mistake, it is run down, the jacuzzi was green and when I Simple asked if there were muffins for breakfast, the lady at the desk was totally rude, no breakfast. I paid over 300.00 a night for this dump. There is no air conditioning and when I asked for a copy of my bill I was told I booked this though hotel.com and they cant give me a copy.I have to contact hotel.com. But they did not seem to have a problem taking my credit card. I looked this up when it is not a holiday weekend and is 160.00 a night, which is high for this place. I have booked through hotel.com for other places I have stayed and was given a copy. Dont waste your money and time on this place.
Positive: Beautiful location near the ocean. Staff very pleasant and welcoming. Negative: Old stairs difficult for anyone with mobility issues. Coffee in breakfast bar was cold and watered down. Juice watered down.
So glad this place had a room available. The hotel was over priced. I paid 250 for a night but really needed it. Rooms were big super clean white linen sheets. Great TV. Bathrooms need updated. If you can get a west facing room sun hits hard in the morning. Just a basic older motel. It would be a better service to let commercial hotels take over.
Positives: decent pool and hot tub, very nice weather in town, room decently clean, friendly staff, near good restaurants and grocery store, can watch the sunset.Negatives: no AC, some homeless people in the area, Old, smelly carpet. Not my favorite. Wont be back because the quality doesnt match the price, too expensive. Almost $300 a night.
I rented a room at Sea Bird Lodge for $119 a night. My children and I got to the room and there was many problems. There was a dirty bandaid on an outlet, a broken outlet and pizza peppers on the back of toilet. I told them about my concerns and they offered a new room or refund. I asked for a refund and was told that I had to wait for the manager next day. I do not live in Fort Bragg and have to go home next day early for work. I asked if manager could give refund remotely and was told yes. Why cant I get it now then if that was an option. I went back next day and was denied my refund.. This is unprofessional and bad costumer service. I will never be back to this place and recommend no one go there. Their standards are subpar and discussing if you have young ones.
My husband and I have a special connection to the Seabird Lodge in that we spent our first night there on our Honeymoon almost 28 years ago. We have been back several times and enjoyed our stay as it has always been a clean, comfortable modest place to stay. We are happy to report that on our last stay in Sept. 2020 we were happy to meet the new owners that are beginning a complete remodel at the Seabird Lodge. If you stay the next few months you will see complete renovations being done. We are looking forward to returning in December to celebrate our Anniversary and experience the new rooms, furnishings and outside landscaping! We will be happy to add the 5th star on that visit!
I am not impressed with this hotel at all. The room stinks, there’s no air conditioning, the “sea view” that I paid extra for is not worth it at all. And we had to pay an additional $15 on top of the $270 we already paid for a roll away bed, that I’m pretty sure the floor would have been more comfortable, but the bottoms of our feet are brown from walking around the room.🤢 We all definitely agreed this town wasn’t all it was hyped up to be after our experience here. The towels are old and rough, and when the shower was started the water running out of it was brown🤢
No key card available for our room for 2 days, had to go to office to have someone let us into our room, very annoying. Check in time is at 4pm, which is horrible when you have traveled a ways. And thats just late! This place is getting old. Not a good stay.
This place is centered on a good location. There is no ocean view, but who really wants to seat around in a hotel room when you can be having a lot of fun exploring. The people that run it are very friendly and courteous. An added convenience is a nice breakfast place right next door, which is perfect for a meal before a day outdoors.These guys have reasonably priced clean rooms, and are at a convenient location where you can explore the town, local restaurants, or the beach if you prefer.
Checking in was quick and easy. Happy to find that they opened their indoor pool. Our room was nice and clean. It had basic amenities fridge, microwave and coffee maker. The beds were comfortable.
Stayed here a couple weekday nights in May for work. I had room 119, which was reasonably clean. Any portion that wasn’t or didn’t appear clean was likely from old age. There was the unusual, sporadic ant here and there, which didn’t seem to have a real source. The owners were very approachable and friendly. In the morning they serve homemade muffins in zip locked bags. I had the blueberry, which was very good. Despite the flat-ish pillows and thin blanket, I slept relatively fine. My review was rounded up to a 5 star due to clean sheets and friendly staff.
I loved this place, clean and spacious with small signs of wear. The patio is a bit smaller then led to believe by user photo. Ppl were friendly! The smell at night outside was lovely. I only give 4 stars for patio and the Pet Deposit rule.
Really disappointed!! Not only was our Room not very clean there was no soaps or shampoos. On top of that we had the house keepers bang on the door 3 separate times before check out (there was no do not disturb sign) We paid 275.00 for this room. Have stayed here before and has never been more then 80.00. We are Evacuees Like a lot of other people in town at the moment and just trying to get some fresh air. Crapy theyre taking advantage.
Its at the edge of town and the perfect place for your home-base on your exploration of the area. The bed was firm, and the room was very clean. We could see the ocean from our window, which made us very happy. We plan on staying here again.
Good rooms.Housekeeping was great did a great job. Right in the middle of town so everything you need and everything to see is all around
Nice hotel with ocean views right off hwy 1. Large spacious room. Friendly, helpful staff. Large flat screen with 1500 Direct TV channels, that included premium channels & even NFL Sunday Ticket! Wi-Fi worked great! Room included Keurig coffee maker, fridge, microwave & all the normal amenities. I was first one to use my room after just being renovated, with great modern style & hardwood floor! Loved my stay!
We spent $333 for a single queen room for one night that smelled like cigarettes. We called the front desk but it was the last room so just dealt with it for the evening.I’d assumed the prior guest had been smoking outside with the window open but then found the smoke detector wrapped in a plastic bag in the bedside drawer….so probably just smoking inside the room.This also means that the room was not thoroughly cleaned since housekeeping didn’t notice the smoke detector in the drawer / replace it. And we had no active smoke detector. The hotel is definitely not following any type of COVID cleaning protocols if they aren’t checking 2 of the 4 drawers in the room.I’d suggest a different place to stay!
I really dont understand how this hotel could get such great reviews. We walked into our hotel room and it look like somebody had their car inside working on it all over the rug. It was disgusting. The only good thing about this hotel was that when we complained to Lori, the hotel manager, she worked with us too compensate us for the dirty room. The coffee was a bonus that they had but other than that everything that they offered for breakfast was a carb as in muffins or cereal or yogurt. Very minimalistic and not good at all. I think the hotel is trying to be a good hotel. They do fold their towels nicely and little touches like that however when you look in the corner of the rooms theyre dirty and again our rug was disgusting. Im seriously perplexed about the reviews that Im seeing.Sorry but I would not stay here again.
Clean room. Easy to access. Near to downtown.
This is your typical bargain hotel for Fort Bragg. The beds are uncomfortable and the sheets are a bit rough for someone as spoiled as me. Housekeeping does a good job. I saw them deep cleaning the room next to us and they did a good job on ours. With that considered, the carpet is stained, and all the hinges, door knobs and trim look like they are from the 80s. They are pet friendly and have large open fields to relieve your dog. My biggest complaint is there is only one power outlet on the bed wall and it is located behind the bed. Most considerate hotels will have a lamp with additional plugs or something. My 3 phone charger couldnt reach so I had to plug my phone in across the room. All in all, an adequate hotel for the area.
The sheets and bathroom were clean - which is good. However, the bed was hard (despite the fact that it was a pillow-top mattress). THERE WAS NO A/C - which I guess is common in this part of California. It was 80 degrees or better in the room when we arrived at midnight exhausted. We had to open both doors of our room to let the cool air flow through. Then we had to open the window (thankfully it was screened) and put the hotel-provided fan in front of the window to draw in the cool air so that we could sleep comfortably. If it hadnt been so late, we likely would have asked for a refund and gone elsewhere, but wed been traveling Highway 1 for about 7 hours and were SUPER TIRED. The older lady at the front desk was really nice - despite the fact that we woke her to check in at midnight. The owners must be BIG DOG LOVERS as everything in the lobby was dog-related. We asked for a room where there had been fewer pets due to our allergies. We didnt suffer any flare-ups.
This was our first time in Fort Bragg and are glad we made the choice in staying here! Very clean rooms, Customer service was amazing, and plenty of parking! Their breakfast isnt the normal dried out bagels and muffins. The owner actually bakes fresh muffins for every breakfast, lots of them and a variety. First morning we had the Cherry Macadamia muffins, and I have to say, they were amazing! Second morning went with the chocolate (both milk and white chocolate chips in them), again, amazing!!! I have stayed at a lot of hotels and none were as good as this one. Will definitely recommend to anyone, with or without kids!
Nice room, clean and basic. 210$ for two gueens/ 3 people. Pool and hot tub, Continental breakfast. There are cheaper ones in town...but theyre sort of seedy.
Very disappointed! Our stay was for two nights definitely over priced in my opinion. Our room had a balcony that we had asked for. Definitely a plus. We were able to see the sunset. ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. We went to glass beach, botanical garden and we did the skunk train. We made all these plans for our 7yr Anniversary. We had an AMAZING time. Until we came back to our hotel room. After a long day we were in for the night . Early Monday morning we heard what sounded like a ph ringing, we checked our cell phs. Nope not our phs. I checked the room ph no message, strange. We went about packing up (8:00 am). I hear a lot of noise outside, I look out I see that we are the only vehicle In tha back parking lot. Apparently they were starting to repave the parking lot. We continue to pack, I hear loud music. Mind you its now close to 8:30- 8:45. Check out is 11. All we wanted to do was leave before our truck got tar on it. Now they have a tar machine blocking our new hemi WHITE truck blocked in. They whole parking lot was empty, why block us in. I call the front desk the girl tells me she tried calling my room. I tell her we never heard the call and there wasnt a message, why didnt you leave a message? Or better yet come to my room and let us know what was going on. She was rude and could careless. Gave my boyfriend an attitude and was very unprofessional! Very disappointing.....
The bed linens and towels were clean, the floors were not. They looked clean but our socks told a different story after walking in the room for a few minutes. There was a Keurig in the room, which was nice, the highlight of the minimalist breakfast downstairs are the muffins.
Stayed 4 nights. Good location, close to everything Fort Bragg has to offer and a good jumping off point to places both north and south. I understand theyre in the process of remodeling the rooms, they hadnt gotten to mine yet but it was adequate.
If you are on the second floor, be prepared for people to complain. Just walking seems like you are stomping. We had the office call us due to a noise complaint from the people below us. We had walked back and forth a few times and within 20 minutes of getting the room, they were complaining.The rooms are not that bad except for the thin walls/floors. The tv had blown out speakers so anything over a whisper was too raspy to hear but I assume that is limited to our room. The water was hot, the sheets clean and the room didnt smell bad. 👍🏼
The room was comfortable and the bathroom was great. The sink was in a different room than the toilet and shower so someone can shower at the same time as I brush my teeth. Very convenient. The complimentary breakfast was decent. Multiple flavors of muffin, oatmeal, cereal, coffee, cranberry juice, orange juice, and tea. Also pineapple juice too! Rarely see that in other inns. Would stay again.
We were in a pinch up in Arcata and needed a place to stay last minute. The Seabird Lodge was very welcoming and empathetic toward our situation. Love love love this place!!! The rooms were super clean and the bed was the most comfortable bed I slept in our whole trip in California!!!! Totally would stay here again!!!!! Thank you for your amazing hospitality toward us Iowa boys!!!! 👍
Lovely family-friendly and pet-friendly hotel. Spacious rooms. Indoor pool and hot tub. Nicely maintained, wonderful staff. The basic continental breakfast was presented with thought, super clean and with homemade muffins. I hope to return. Would definitely recommend the Seabird Lodge.
Front faces small restaurant which is on hwy, back (east) faces small road and is quiet. Pool and hot tub were nice. It has self service laundry ($1 wash, $1 dry). Free breakfast is small, but sufficient. Coffee is great. Beds were so so, quite firm. I believe theres no ac.
Bed was a little hard. No elevator so bad knees or back dont book upstairs room. Ocean view meant if I sat on the balcony I could see the green dumpster in the parking lot. On the up side, slept with the window open all night.
Clean & comfortable! The room decor is dated. Although it is old style, everything is clean. Staff are friendly. Good budget place to stay & surprisingly the continental breakfast was good (selecton of different muffins, cereal, juices, and decent coffee).
Ive stayed at the Seabird Lodge for work many times and would highly recommend it! The rooms are spacious and comfortable. They are well equipped with amenities (mini fridge, microwave etc.) and the lodge has made some really nice upgrades to the rooms recently. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. They have delicious muffins and coffee in the morning, and its pet friendly!
The lobby’s cleanliness acted as lure.Upon opening the door to our room we were greeted with that old cigarette smell (this wasn’t a smoking room). After discarding the used bottle cap from this room’s previous occupants I took a look around. My wife assures me the stains on the wall are probably just some kind of red jelly, but still. I don’t know, and don’t care to find out what the brownish stains on the bathroom floor are. Being on the shorter side, I generally like things that make me feel taller. But I’d rather that thing not be the toilet, which seems designed for elves. The delaminated flooring by the bathtub acts as a mini planter for fungus. I tried to use their internet and tune the whole scene out. Dial-up was faster.Just in case I wasn’t clear, I don’t recommend staying here.The pro is the location, and the staff is really nice.
Stayed here with my family and two dogs. A wonderful experience, we even woke up late for breakfast and the hostess let us stay an extra 30 minutes to eat. The rooms were cleaned properly and it was a pleasant sleeping experience.
Lovely, spacious, clean room with a view of the sea. Seabird is a short drive from the main city area but with enough distance for a good nights quiet sleep. They give 10% off for the next door restaurant.
A hotel with rooms and beds.My parents picked 5 it. I prefer a place with direct access to the Pacific ocean or Noyo River. But its decent. No complaints I can remember .
This is an okay hotel. Very conveniently located on the main drag through town. Easy to spot and come and go from. Nearby restaurants and not too far from a StarbucksRoom was clean and well stocked, everything in working order, although the heat was a bit high and we couldnt get the thermostat to drop it. Not sure it wasnt user error 🙄One other note, the gentleman at the front desk was very accommodating and found us a non smoking room, as requested. They were basically full, but he cared enough to make it happen.Not a luxury hotel, but Id stay there again.
We stayed here for two nights while visiting my husbands Aunt. Beds were comfortable, room was clean. Breakfast is pretty much coffee, teas, juices and muffins. We just grabbed some orange juice before heading to a breakfast place. Overall, for the price, its a great place to stay
Front desk was very friendly, although the restaurant he recommended was awful. Rooms are old and run down, not nice. No air-conditioning. Got very stuffy very quickly. Breakfast consisted of an assortment of muffins made fresh, plain os cereal and yogurt. Had to hit up Starbucks around the corner.
Loved this place, pet friendly. smoking and non smoking rooms. indoor pool, hot tub, reasonable rates from the internet. they serve a breakfast of good choices, or you can go to thevreasturant for breakfast and lunch thats on the corner of the lodge who had awesome food and gives hotel guest a discount, but you need to tell them your guest and maybe remind them. The beds are comfortable. clean and cozy ours had min fridge and microwave in it. bathroom had shower tub combo. They do there best and go out of the way for guest. sm pet area for your pets but please clean up after them. The staff shouldnt have too. 10.00 bucks a night per pet. is what we were charged. right on the highway, set back the ocean and a walk trail is right across the street.
We always stay at the Seabird Lodge when were in Fort Bragg. Its extremely clean, pet friendly (we dont go anywhere without our dog!), and the price cant be any better. The room we stay in has a small balcony and great ocean view. Other hotels in the area are double the cost and since we spend a majority of our time on the beach at Ten Mile or walking the trails at MacKerriker, I dont really care about much else but cost personally. They always remember us and our four legged child. Its a great place to stay.
The rooms were less than ok. They smelled AWFUL.! I had to go purchase febreze and use about the whole bottle before I put my belongings in the room... We had a big group with a bunch of littles ages 1-5... they knew this upon our arrival.. we got multiple complaints about our children before 7pm and we went about our night. The next morning we decided to make breakfast (NO WHERE WAS IT POSTED THAT WE COULDNT COOK) we brought our own propane tank and we were outside. The employee that was working came out and told us that wasn’t allowed. We were almost finished and she told us we had to put it away.. we asked how we’re supposed to get breakfast for the kids (almost everywhere is closed) she says “take them to a restaurant that’s not my problem” I told her we would finish up and leave.. she said no and copped an attitude and said she was calling the cops. At that point we were done with the foul roach motel... when coming to fort Bragg with children DEFINITELY stay some place else!
Pros - one of the better priced hotels in the area, front desk staff were courteous, good location close to the beach, extremely spacious room with full kitchen.Cons - breakfast was muffins, juice and tea/coffee, replace the more expensive individual juices with eggs and that will make up for a heck of a breakfast.Summary - would definitely stay again and cook my own eggs in my room.
Nice location, the hotel was about 5 minutes away from the coast, there are some good seafood restaurants in the nearby. The rooms were nice and clean. It has an indoor pool and jacuzzi. The breakfast at the hotel were nice although there was not a great variety. Overall it was a great hotel with a really afordable price.
We booked a room 3 weeks before our trip just for us to get there and them tell us they do not except any type of payment method we had! Cash, chime visa, and capital one credit card! This was not mentioned on the website nor over the phone ( we called several times to check up on our reservation!) We drove 4 hours just to get a yeah I know Im sorry no discount or another option to pay! I hope they shut down! Inconvience them just like they did me!
So disappointed in my brief stay, aside from the staff being so kind it was awful. Room is extremely outdated to the point it feels dirty, no AC, bed and pillows were not comfortable. After reading the reviews I thought it would be worth a try but I am sorry it is not worth the money. Paid about 250.00 with taxes. This would be close to a maybe 70.00 a night room. Feel robbed
Needed a room for 1 night and the town was sold out. This property just had a cancellation so we took it even though it was way over priced. When we walked in the room we figured out why there was a cancellation. I told my mom not to dare taking off her socks because the floor was so gross. The bathroom vinyl floor was peeling away from the wall & gross. There was a large hole in the wall by the bed the was patched with packing tape and painted over to try to match the wall. The bed did appear to be clean do that was something.
You are not only treated like family, your pet is pampered. Especially by Lorie Reynolds and Karen.Olivia and Gilda are wonderful, employees that this Lodge can be very proud of.There has a nice heated, indoor pool and a hot tub. The continental breakfast is a treat with fresh muffins, yogurt, Mendocino Coffee and Simply Juice.The rooms are clean, in good repair and Gilda makes the towels into animals to bring smiles to your face. it is quiet and within walking distance to restaurants.I love Fort Bragg and I love it more when I can stay at the Seabird Lodge.Trust me, Lorie will take good care of your needs.This lovely lodge is family oriented, AAA approved as it should be.
The hotel rooms were literally falling apart and there was so much mold! Also theres only a lock on the door knob no top lock so we put the table in front of it to keep our toddler from opening it. I wouldnt go back it was disgusting.The muffins everyone is reviewing were horrible dry, stale and taste like baking soda.
Great little motel, the best out of 4 places we stayed this roadtrip. Spacious rooms, great decor, indoor pool and hot tub, clean, etc. No hit breakfast but the homemade muffins, yogurt, and juice were a good touch. Id definitely stay here again.
My go to place when staying in Ft. Bragg! Clean rooms, and an awesome office staff at an affordable price? It doesnt get any better than that. You also get a good laugh at the hardcore 80s deco! Seabird has a clean pool and hot tub, and is in a fantastic location!
Very clean, super friendly staff, love the little yard for pets, pool, and hot tub Absolutely Great, Breakfast was good,needs sausage or bacon their potatoes were good as were the biscuits and gravy and waffles over all was pretty good, Thank you!❤
My day at the Seabird Lodge was great. Had a spacious room with a small back patio, as well as a fridge and microwave. The staff was very courteous and welcoming. Id recommend the Seabird if youre looking for an affordable yet good accomodation in Ft Bragg.
Honestly I would say this is a 3 star hotel, not 2.What was great? Clean, centrally located, great pool and spa and an expanded continental breakfast..I would definitely stay here again..What would I change.. Possibly the bed. I have back issues, sometimes even at home..Everything else was wonderful.. Great value.
This motel is your basic roadside lodging. It is clean, dog-friendly, has a continental breakfast and is next to a gas station and a Round Table. It has an indoor pool and hot tub. They seem to make an effort to keep the place nice--planted flowers, doggy areas with bags, etc. This isnt fancy but it seems clean and well-kept.
Bed wasnt that comfortable, carpet was stained, shower had good water pressure. Room had fridge and microwave. Staff was helpful which is all that really matters since this type of hotels are all the same. Theres an indoor pool, a hot tub and a laundry room. Breakfast is included.
Good deal for the price. We were traveling from Eugene to San Diego and this was an overnight stop. It was clean. The linen was clean, albeit a bit worn. The cigarette holes in the comforter was disappointing because it is labeled a Non Smoking motel. There were, however, smokers on the balconies outside the rooms. A light (included) breakfast with coffee and muffins (delicious) is included and the welcome was very comforting and pleasant. The A/C failed in the room and when we called (@ 1130p) no one answered 2 calls. The night cooled off so in the end it didnt matter.
Very nice place. Pet friendly. Staff was nice. Walkable to many little places. Had all the necessary things.
With spacious, clean rooms, Seabird Lodge is conveniently on California 1 and close to the ocean, but needs more attention to detail and a few updates.Our bed was lumpy stiff and accompanied by flat, flimsy pillows far past their service life. The pool and hot tub were great, but the flooring and walls were dated and in need of work.While walking for coffee in the morning, we were approached by a meth addict asking for cash or a quick smoke. The continental breakfast room was lacking and the silence was deafening (tip to the owners - play some music during breakfast).Overall, we were impressed with the hospitality, but we found the creature comforts of our stay were subpar.
The Seabird Lodge is situated on the seaside edge of Fort Bragg, on Californias beautiful north coast. The hotel itself is not particularly special, however I can say that my experience with the the staff has been great. It is a short drive, or even walk, from everything the lively little town has to offer, and features an indoor pool and spa. I would recommend this Inn to anyone looking to stay a few nights in Fort Bragg.
Paid top dollar to get a partial ocean view. Which was obscured by a large building, the backside of which was occupied by homeless in the wee hours. No AC, outdated furnishings, no ironing board. Couldnt get sleep, as it was scorching in the rooms, the balcony door had to be left open for some air, so we were able to hear all sorts of unsavory noises from the homeless gathering. Every cough, spit, snort and who knows what else from these miscreants sounded like it was on our balcony. Never again will I lodge here.
Room has no ventilation and no means to control cool the room down. Also, for the price $139 per night I would consider this to be extremely poor value. When I booked the room I requested a room on the ground floor near the Jacuzzi and pool and ended up in a room in another building very far away from the pool. I booked the room 1 month in advance and was told Id be near the pool. Also, the room is odd shaped, the door isnt plumb and it appears the door has been kicked in because braces have been screwed in the door frame to hold everything together. This place is the kind of place Captain Obvious would be rolling his eyes and say you want to sleep with one eye open. I will NEVER stay here again. Again, poor value for the money being paid to stay here. Also, I dont eat cereal or Danish bars or stale looking muffins for breakfast so the breakfast they offer has no value to me.
Nice staff; clean, spacious room, no air conditioning, microwave, mini-fridge to keep things cold but not enough to freeze anything. Small indoor swimming pool. Anemic continental breakfast 0630-0930. Self-service coin operated laundromat. Free parking. Office lobby hours 0630-2200. Checkout 1100.
This is the most I’ve paid ($300/night) for such a cheaply built and looking hotel. I was looking forward to using the pool but they have an interesting policy… pool doesn’t open until 11 AM and checkout is at 11 AM… crazy place…. Would never come back
I would stay here again, but it doesnt have a lot of charm. It was clean, but there were ants in our room. The pros were: the reasonable price; it was quiet at night (off season); mini fridge plus microwave in room; and its close to the harbor. Cons were: the ants; small, thin towels; and there is no beach access.
Im not very happy with the check in procedures there. For one thing, the lodge was practically empty on check in and I explained that I wanted a room with a view and the guy puts us over on the side of the building somewhere? Than came to find out, that they double charged me from my Priceline charge. Than had to make all the corrections on the phone? I dont know if their doing this on purpose or not, so be careful with this place.
The front desk guy was going to charge me extra because I didnt make the reservation through them which I actually did and proved to him that I did. He acted like he was doing me a favor by giving me the price I was given when I made the reservation. I booked a room with a patio that was supposed to have an ocean view...that may have been the case if it didnt have a restaurant right in front of my view. The bed was extremely uncomfortable. I would not stay here again.
Friendly staff. But warning BED BUGS. Was in room 203? Killed 8 bed bugs. Moved to 206? Found 2 more. The man was very nice and gave a refund and helped find another hotel. Only was able to be booked for 1 night though at another hotel and didn’t know what to do about the next night drove 7 hours to get here. Disappointed and creeped out. Showered immediately switching hotels. Appreciate the service but would not stay again.
Warm, affordable, friendly Inn. Very clean comfortable rooms peacefully and tastefully decorated in a nautical sea-side style. Classy and timeless. Nice towels and sheets. Comfy bed with plenty of pillows. In-room Kerurig coffee machine was nice. Pool and spa were dated, but clean and nice. Continental breakfast was ok. Muffins, cold or hot cereal, yogurt and juice.Really good coffee tho. An ok mexican restaurant is right next door. Hotel is well kept over all, and very quiet.
Positive: I was pleasantly surprised to find the hotel better than I expected. We even had a view of the ocean from our balcony.
Everything was spotless, the desk people were lovely and knowledgeably informative. Found the prices were very reasonable, with $10 discounts for both selecting a single queen bed and for being AAA members. To my surprise, the owner bakes the muffins for the continental breakfast, and owns a chocolate shop in town, which Ill visit on my way. We didnt take in the spa and heated pool but ... next time.
The Seabird Lodge is a nice place for weekend getaway. On the main highway here on Fort Bragg close to the beaches, shops and campgrounds where we met family. The room was clean with all the amenities; coffee, mini fridge, microwave, soaps, hairdryer, ...all the basics. Room came with continental breakfast, which included about 8 different flavored muffins, yoplait yogurts, coffee, tea, cocoa, OJ, Apple juice or water. Not much but better than nothing. The Seabird Caffe had delicious food. Many types of burgers to choose from, salads, breakfast omlettes, players or burritos, etc...fair prices too. All in all we really enjoyed our stay. Oh, also it was pretty quiet and the kids enjoyed the indoor Hot Tub and Heated Pool.
The room was clean. The staff was very nice. The breakfast is cereal and a muffin. The kids loved the pool. Over all, it is an older motel that is very clean at a great price.
My wife and kids absolutely love this place. It also has a indoor swimming pool for kids and has a hot tub right next to pool for the parents. The only reason I gave it a 4 star not 5 is because when you lock the doors (dead bolt also) all you have to do to is pull the handle down and the door unlocks and opens right up. And my 3 year old figured it out fast and now my 1.5 year old breaks for and out the door with him so we have to put the chair against door under the handle to prevent them from getting out. A sliding lock at the top of the door would be a easy fix and also prevent a future liability if a kid was to get out and hurt while a parent nodded out or is in the rest room.
Nice indoor pool but one side is too shallow for any adults. Indoor hot tub is a plus with nice drawing on the wall. Wifi connection is free but poor. We used our own cellular data.
Never again! Been going to this hotel for years. Now it is under new management and i was charged for smoking in a non smoking room. I dont smoke!!! They refused to refund my 150$ fee. Crooks! Also the rates have doubled since new owners took over. They will not be getting my business ever again. Thieves!!😠
Nice and inexpensive for the coast. Staff really cares about customers. Homemade muffins and other goodies for breakfast. Pool and hot tub. Very pet friendly...make sure yours get its picture on the board in the lobby. Close to Noyo Harbour and Noyo Headlands park trail.
We stayed on a bottom floor and it sounded like a paper ceiling. We could hear every tip toe. Every door opening. The room was ok but the beds are terrible. The pellows are terrible and so are their pellow cases. They only have heaters and not air-conditioning. Not a big fan, but it wasnt terrible.
An absolutely lovely Inn, very clean rooms. Really sweet people at the front desk. They allow pets and have a big area to walk them in. Homemade muffins, cereal, fruit, juices, tea and coffee for breakfast. A wonderful place for families to spend the night.
Decent place, we stay here almost every time we come to the area because they are dog friendly. The rooms are OK, nothing fancy. Very nice staff and good continental breakfast in the morning.
Very terrible experience here. Would not recommend. Management’s philosophy is “customers come last”. Try another hotel in the area and don’t waste your money!
Warm greeting by the staff, and a clean and well supplied room. Parking was abundant, and close to your room. Location was convenient to Noyo Harbor, Dolphin Harbor, and other interest points.
Clean, well kept, friendly and helpful staff. Our room had a great view and I believe they were mindful about where they placed us since we had an infant in order that all guests be as comfortable as possible.
Walking distance to the beach, clean rooms, free breakfast, gym, hot tub.Reyna who chked us in was very knowledgeable and very helpful recommending local restaurants and attractions.Will return.
Pretty inhospitable staff. Breakfast is supposed to end at 9:30am, but they started packing up early even before we were done. Actually kicked us out of the dining area at 9:45am. I know this isnt a 5-star hotel, but I expected a modicum of hospitality. Next time well be staying elsewhere.
Great stay! We had two clean rooms, and comfortable beds. Their indoor pool is nice too. Thank you!
Called at 4am on 7/15/17 to see that all was okay before we started off. The front desk guy was very grumpy and was very upset that I woke him up. He said to call back at 8. He was a rude man and his actions were unprovoked. Everyone else was super nice and the rooms were fine for the price in the area.
Location Location Location. Centered right in the middle of town and next to restaurants Round Table and LA Playa make this place prime to enjoy your weekend on the Coast. Tell them I sent you. #thepuddingcreektrestle
No stars, this place was was the worst Ive seen in a long time.We checked in and checked right back out after seeing the room.OLD, everything was outdated, no AC and leaving the window open at night would have scared me to death. My daughter and I felt very unsafe just walking to the room to look at it.
Clean, budget friendly room. Beds were amazingly comfy. Staff very friendly and helpful.
This two star rated Inn does offer many good surprises to guests. Price is reasonable and rooms are clean. Although some of items in rooms are outdated (such as CRT TVs), they are rather minor to me. The best thing about Americas Best Value Inn-Seabird in Fort Bragg is its location. Safeway is a few blocks away (walkable distance), Chinese restaurant is right next to the Inn. RiteAid is nearby. Gas station is next to the Inn. If that is not enough, you have the ocean right in front of the Inn. Personally, I like their breakfast. Home-baked muffins (about six different kinds) are must have. Although they do not offer hot breakfast, their breakfast is more than I would expect from two star rated Inns.All the above will not make me to come back unless they have friendly staff. Yes they are friendly and very helpful!FYI:Wi-Fi: good and many selections!Parking lot: Yes and many of them.Cable TV: YesBreakfast: coffees, more than basic cold breakfast (and home-baked muffins!)Good for family: within my budget, yes it isStaff: friendly!Pool: They have an indoor swim pool (just ask the front desk person for extra towels)Laundry: Yes and I used them. They are good working condition and clean (can be used until 10PM)Vending Machine: only soda machines are available. I guess because of having a grocery store is nearby and a gas station is right next door.
I love this place. I stumbled onto it on a business trip and stay every month. I brought my wife on a weekend and she loves it too. Good clean rooms, and amazing people owning the facility, including homemade muffins for breakfast.
Honestly, The ONLY thing I like about this place is the INDOOR POOL AND JACUZZIIt’s gets quite crowded tho, lots of families come here so if u don’t like kids I wouldn’t suggest staying here, the walls are thin.I couldn’t sleep due to kids running around,I could literally hear everything around me
Pros: close to the beach, fair price, good amnesties. Cons: a little too crowded, can be noisy at times, the building feels old. If you’re expecting a motel 6 level, this is it. Not bad.
Friendly staff and clean rooms. Towels in the bathroom were plentiful. Small breakfast in the mornings with tea, coffee, muffins,etc. There was no fan in the room, which was unfortunate, but overall a good stay.
Okay first and foremost it was a beachy hotel so EXPECT a beachy hotel. But honestly because of that we absolutely loved it! It was clean, the staff was so friendly and the kids really enjoyed the indoor pool and hot tub!!We will definitely be back!!
Rooms were decent but not great. Our reservations were lost booking through online, but they did give us 10% off for a room. Decent breakfast. The pool needed a washing.
Unfortunately woke up to a roach crawling on my face in room 222.Seemed like a 3 star place up until then.Looks like this review has been removed which is concerning.
Basic room. Fridge and microwave along with basic internet and TV. Very clean and updated rooms. Quiet stay. Beds were ok.
I dont know who is writing the reviews that say great place to stay but their ideas of comfort are not the same as mine. This place has the hardest king bed I ever experienced -- nearly impossible to get comfortable.It is also very noisy. Since theres no AC, we had the windows open, but there was some kind of deep, metallic squeaking noise all night that sounded like a rusty gate swinging slowly back and forth. Turns out, it is the street signs on HWY 1. Theyre old, hung by eyebolts and bars. When the wind blows, they rock back and forth -- SQUEEK SQUEEK SQUEEK -- We had to close the windows to try to get some sleep. It got warm inside the room to the point where I was perspiring with the windows closed.On weekdays, there is a construction crew across the parking lot facing HWY 1 -- forget about sleeping-in. HWY 1 traffic is not muffled by the thin walls.If you just want to check-in late and leave early the next morning, then this is fine, if you can stand the hard beds. Or, if you have pets and theres no other choice. If you want to find a place to stay for a few days and use it as a base of operations then forget it.How can someone give this place a 4 out of 5 when their locked room could be opened with a simple tug on the handle? Aiso, tiny muffins, cereal and pastry is not a good breakfast.
Comfortable, clean and charming inn. Owner was friendly and provided helpful information about where to get meals nearby. We really enjoyed staying here on our trip down the coast!
Overpriced for what you get but the breakfast is really good. And more food than Ive ever seen at a continental breakfast. The waffles are so good 😋🤯🤤
Gosh. I hate to do this but honestly, enough is enough. This goes out to Richard and Lees 1* reviews. First let me let EVERYONE know that I have consistently booked 2-3 rooms here each year for family and friends for 3+ nights every November for 4 years. Ive been coming to Fort Bragg for 30 years and have stayed in a lot of those places, (there are better places if you want to spend more for more amenities, thats true) this is my story. First of all, look at the offerings and amenities people. Seriously. Look at the photos. Its is on the web for everyone to see. If you dont like what you see, dont stay. Simple. Richard, did you post pics of the bed bugs? Didnt see any. Are you aware of what they look like? I just stayed in 202 (3 days ago) for 4 nights......guess the bedbugs can only count up as they are traveling rooms. (Once again the internet is a gateway for people to say whatever they want with no proof, [ Im in there too]) Lee, like some one just worked on a car in your room, really? So.....you mean to say there was what in your room - used motor oil on the floor, perhaps brake or radiator fluids that you had to carefully navigate through? Geez, just carbs for breakfast? First of all they dont have requirements to give anything out! (The many flavors of homemade muffins are a great and generous touch imho) If you are on a special no carb eating plan think ahead dear. All the info is out there for people to see. If you dont see what you are wanting to find out, well, easy as a,b,c- 1,2,3 pick up the phone and call! Gosh, and further more you both say they made it right for you. Sooooo....why 1*?Folks, its simple. Do your homework. Its a great place at a reasonable price. If you stay there and dont like it,( if you have done due diligence) you can really only blame yourselves, with a few exceptions. Stop the 1 and 2 star reviews. What a joke!
This is our second trip to Fort Bragg and both times we have stayed here. The staff is very kind and was quick to follow up on some minor concerns. The rooms are nice and clean.
This was definately the best hotel in Fort Bragg, We were a party of 3 and we loved every minute of it. The staff was so nice, and the rooms were beyond our expectations. My friend is a smoker and they gave him an ashtrey on the balcony just to smoke! We LOVED it. Definately WILL recommend. The Price is Worth it!
Clean, fairly quiet and walking distance to the coastal trail. $20 pet fee. Easy access to outside.
Decent hotel, smelled a little dated. Slight odor of tobacco smoke. Breakfast was nothing more than yogurt (contained gelatin), muffins, bottled orange juice, and coffee. About the same as a Motel 6.Guidepost.us
Room was inexpensive, clean, but outdated. No air conditioner, but they do provide a little fan you can put by the window to draw the cool air in. Mexixan restaurant in the parking lot with a chevron across the street
The seabird Lodge is clean and well located. The staff are courteous and responsive best value for the price point it is no Ritz-Carlton but we felt safe and well taken care of I definitely recommend this place and have and will continue to stay there whenever we are in town!!
Large rooms, pretty well kept, no frills, but super nice service and clean. Exactly what I was looking for. Dog friendly!
On a 6 month road trip this was the nicest room, most comfortable bed, very friendly staff and the best price. I highly recommend to anyone travelling coastal highway 1 in the Fort Bragg area.
This hotel was perfect for my family and I. Our room was very spacious and comfortable. The layout of the whole facility was great and my children enjoyed the hot tub and pool very much.
Room was good size beds are much firmer then iam used to. We got the room with a view but the view was not all that great. Still enjoyed the stay.
I love staying here! Everything you need: swimming pool, hot tub, big rooms, close to the beach, family friendly, affordable, great restaurant across the street! Only one gripe: need comforters, bedspreads are scratchy and dont keep you warm.
We stay here every time we visit Fort Bragg. Heated pool & sauna. Directv with all the premium channels.
Not bad. Decent bed, fairly clean. Breakfast was just muffins and yogurt. I was next to laundry room so a tad loud. Three restaurants within a minute walk.
This was the worst hotel I have ever stayed at. It stunk, it was loud, and when we left because it was disgusting they wouldnt return out money and made horrible comments to us!! Will never stay again and would never recommend. If I could give no stars I would!!!!
What a pleasant surprise! Fresh homemade muffins for breakfast. Very friendly owners. Very pet friendly! Clean rooms. Ocean view. I will stay here again.
We stayed two nights. Even though its an older property, the staff and facilities make up for it. The breakfast was perfect for a grab and go. We will definitely stay here again.
My husband and I came over to escape the 105 degree weather in Ukiah with our doggies. We had a great time very accommodating. Wonderful accommodations beautiful view of the ocean. We will be back. 💕
It was OK staying here. If your room is on the second floor be extremely careful on the cement stairs. They are very slippery when wet, my friend fell on them.
Decent hotel for a one night stay.Nice location and ample parking.Room is not ideal but not bad for one day.Breakfast is a joke... Instead go to Starbucks and get a decent breakfast.
It was hot in the rooms no air conditioning, no safety locks on doors for little ones, it just seemed like a 100 dollar room instead of 230.oo a night. Was not impressed
Amazing place to stay for the price. Staff was super kind and helpful. Homemade muffins for breakfast were delicious. Would stay there again if in the area.
Positive: Location to everything. Negative: Pool, spa, breakfast
Great price, spacious rooms, pretty friendly. Would definitely stay again.
Everything about this place is great. Comfy bed, heated pool, quiet room, you name it. WiFi was good initially but then I guess everyone got on it at the same time and it was unusable.
Very cozy with a view of the ocean! Older hotel but it is kept clean and the staff are very friendly. The indoor pool and hot tub are nice as well.
Very few people here and ended up in a room next to pool pump with no view on a beautiful clear winter night. I would show off my nicer rooms and views, when its slow. Been coming here for years. Think Ill try a different place. 😔
Loved this motel. Very comfy beds. Friendly service at checkin. Beautiful property with private parhs to beach and surf. Quiet rooms away from highway and great view of Pacific.
A pretty good place. It would be 5 stars if they have the AC, but I am glad they provided a fan. The room is good size and I had 2 queen beds, bedroom was clean and had everything we needed. The big good thing is the wifi speed is high and stable. The location is good too and close to glass beach and restaurants. The indoor pool is a great plus. The staffs were nice too. Recommended!
Seabird Lodge is our new favorite place to stay in Ft Bragg. The staff is very courteous and helpful. The rates are reasonable, and the rooms are nice.
It was ok, it was a little warn down. There was a pool and decent continental breakfast. The biggest reason for such a low rating was that I found a bug in the room. But in general it was ok.
Good overnight stay. Room was clean. We also tried hot tub and it was ok. Pool looked like it can take some cleaning.
Very nice room, we had been traveling and needed to use the washer and dryer, it was later than the hours but the man let us use it anyway. Great customer service
Great location and price. Room was very clean. Bed was so clean and had great comfy pillows! Staff was very friendly. Right near the beach. We used the indoor pool and jacuzzi and it was super clean and relaxing. Our room even had a private little outdoor balcony. We will be back here in the warmer weather.
Super comfy, hot tub, quite, staff was great to us and our kids. Definitely will stay here for now on.

2023-09-27 02:28:55The best hotel in Fort Bragg! No one can beat this place with the most amazing breakfast, enjoyable indoor pool and hot tub, extremely cozy room with ocean views, and the friendliest staff. I stay here all the time and would never stay anywhere else when I come to town. All the front desk (Neil, Dylan & Laura) always take care of me when I stay. Everything is always so clean and my room smells like clean laundry every time.

2023-08-22 14:20:25Great place for families! Breakfast comes early, but there’s also a restaurant right there for those who want to sleep in. Walking distance to many good restaurants and to trails along the bluff. Could probably walk to the downtown area. Loved the pool and hot tub-so did my seven year old.Nearby to the Botanical Gardens which are a great place to visit.Balcony with partial ocean view was nice enough. Had a couple chairs to sit and take it in with a glass of wine.All staff were helpful and friendly. Will definitely stay again on another visit.

2023-10-08 16:38:24Step back in time at the seabird lodge. I felt like I was walking into my great grandmas bedroom. While Cozy and mostly clean the carpet is probably from the 70s stained and smelt wet. Needs upgrading desperately. Walls were painted pink over the old wallpaper.Pros: clean. I didn’t get any bug bites. Bed was clean. Price was ok. Front office staff were super friendly and prompt. The pool and hot tub looked nice.Cons: smelt mildewy, carpet had stains and was gross. Walls are paper thin heard my neighbors going to pound town all night long. Every time someone flushes their toilet I heard it. Bring your own pillows these are thin and hard. Tossed and turned all night. The coffee machine has tea but the machine doesn’t brew just water you have to have a coffee pod to make it turn on. So the tea can’t be used, if that matters to you. Rooms advertised online were not what I saw on this stay. There was no ocean view so I’m not sure where people are staying to see that.

2023-10-09 23:31:59Excellent value Lodge. Rooms are clean, spacious, with amenities such as Free Wi-Fi, DirecTV and a Keurig coffee maker with complimentary coffee and tea. The indoor pool was clean and well maintained, as was the hot tub. Staff was super friendly, responsive, and helpful. Surprisingly quiet considering families and dogs populated the full (no vacancy) status. Easy in and out from a traffic standpoint, located close to many of the Fort Bragg sites to see.

2023-06-21 08:02:08Ill be the first to say, The Seabird Lodge isnt fancy. Its more of a practical place to stay. But if you dont mind it looking dated then its a great place to pick. Personally, I dont care about the decorations or anything like that. It was kept tidy and clean during our stay. The staff were also friendly and helpful.I wanted to swim while on vacation and was so pleased with the pool. It was nice having a pool and hot tub available. (The hot tub was amazing after hiking all day.)You really cant beat the price and location. Plenty of things are close for convenience such as restaurants, gas stations, grocery stores and a Starbucks. The entrance to the Noyo Headlands Park is also just across the road. Its also close to the docks where the best seafood restaurants are.Overall, we had a good stay. Id recommend it to any other practically minded person. 👍

2023-07-15 23:15:39Very warm reception from the knowledgeable front desk person, I feel almost strange for noting that except some places when you walk in from a long drive manage to miss that mark, this was the opposite, friendly ---we had our Sweetheart dog with us and I was mildly worried that somehow there wouldnt be any pet-friendly rooms left, she made me feel immediately like I picked the right place, explained breakfast, the indoor pool, offered several great alternatives, patio, balcony, great prices, IF YOU ARE TRAVELING to & thru Fort Bragg WITH A DOG, THIS IS THE RIGHT STOP. Not fancy, the indoor pool is a great touch, theres also a hot tub, Safeway is a block away, great people at this place and the cleaning crew were wonderful people

2023-08-01 18:06:26They put us in a room that smelled like cigarette smoke even though it was suppose to be no smoking, so we had to change to another room. We left for breakfast and when we returned later in the day, our room was cleaned, way before checkout time. Two items were missing. We couldnt find the items so checked with the manager. The cleaning person removed them because she thought we checked out. Only one was returned, the other was a liter of soda and was not returned. The manager could not explain what an additional $30 charge was for. Room was fair but noisy, bed was not to comfortable. Everyone was pleasant.

2023-09-13 01:02:29Rent a room for a night with my girlfriend. The room was clean and nice. The bed was really firm. Wish it wasnt so firm for me. It was a very quiet area. Had a little mini fridge. Had movie channels.
