Our stay at the Benbow Inn was wonderful. We had an issue getting our car to charge, and Ray went out of his way to help us. His customer service was really above and beyond, and he saved the day for us!

The heat never warmed up the room, it literally only moved 1.5 degrees over night. The shower water was luke warm, added to a cold room. Bed was terrible and the linens are outdated and thin. I was also disappointed to find no tv after reading under the entertainment section there was satellite so I assumed there would be a tv.

We stoped at the Benbow in because my husbands brother who passed away two yeas ago had worked there in1942. He told us of his many experiences there. The property was beautiful and very clean. Our room was very nice with a view of the river.

Anniversary stay in swanky boutique hotel
This is a well-maintained historic property now branded as a boutique hotel (when built in 1926, a resort for the rich and famous). Upgraded over the years, and has a really good restaurant and bar on-site. A bit pricey, and the added fees for tourism tax, fire district, etc. on top of sales tax was a little surprising (added almost $100.00 per night to the bill for a $350.00 room). Worth it for a special occasion, and it's located in the heart of the Coast Redwoods (groves a few miles north and south, and adjacent to the Julia Morgan grove - but check for entry status in fall and winter). Julia Morgan, btw, is a justly famous architect from the first half of the 20th C., and there's a house she designed in the grove. All in all a delightful stay. If you have time, and can mange, grab a pizza at the Lost Frenchman cafe in Redway 5+ minutes away. Definitely the best pizza my wife and I have ever eaten, hands down. Also fun exploring small nre=earby towns for shops and such.
