I believe it was a busy weekend so the staff seemed a bit worn from that. The indoor pool/hot tub which was a main draw for the short trip was non-operational with the stafg not able to provide a timeline. The room itself was nicely appointed and clean. It os a bit outside of downtown Fort Bragg and not really a walkable distance. It is about a mile to the ocean and great Northern California coast. Due to the weekend being busy no accommodation was provided for either an early check in after a long drive, nor a late checl out after the Snunk train.

The views from the room were ok. The indoor pool and hot tub were great (pre-entry shower took some figuring out). Access is a breeze and there was plenty of convenient parking. The complimentary breakfast and eating area was very good. There's a few eateries and a nice grocery store within walking distance. The beach is walkable but a good stretch, across a busy road.

This Holiday Inn Express in Fort Bragg was just what we needed for our West Coast vacation. It was easy, clean and comfortable. The check in was simple, no hidden costs, parking was free. The fitness room was well stocked, ice was available, and the coffee / breakfast was a nice way to start the day. The cost was a bit high, but used points, so the value was perfect.

one night sleep, my husband showed me that the bed sheet had bloodstain when he went into the bed, and he didn't know if the sheet was washed before or not. It looked like that the blood was got from the woman period. I felt disappointed a little. My husband and I slept on a queen bed, and my two girls slept on another queen bed. it was the first time we met in a hotel.

For the most part he property was adequate. We did however have a couple of cleaning issues -- when we first checked in, there were used gloves on top of a towel in the bathroom. I just tossed the gloves and didn't use that towel. Second - one of the beds had blood on the sheets. We only needed 1 bed and were only staying a couple of nights so we just used the other bed. Overall the room was fine but a little iffy on the cleaning part!

The hotel accommodations were generally typical for this chain and were fine. What we didn’t like was being woken up at 5am by the sound of dripping water hitting our air conditioner from the one above. No one could sleep through it (2 kids and two adults) and it was the result of a maintenance issue. We were all grumpy and sleep deprived as a result. Then we noticed the sign on the door that said the maximum they were allowed to charge for the room. We had paid over $100 more. I felt like I had been ripped off. IANAL, but I’m pretty sure that info is posted by law to prevent price gouging. The final straw was that, because of sleep deprivation, we left behind our daughter’s stuffed giraffe that her grandmother had given her the day she was born. The hotel has not been able to find it. We are heartbroken. Where could it possibly have gone? If they just found the giraffe, we could get over it. But as it is, we will always remember our stay there as being unpleasant.

Everything was great, our only note would be that our room was listed as a scenic view or ocean view, and we had a large tree up close to the window covering most all of it. Otherwise the place was clean, staff were nice and it was conveniently located for our event needs.

Beautiful area, the front desk staff was rude, when we had an issue with the fireplace control knob and not being able to shut the fireplace off so that we didn’t overheat at night. We went to the front desk to report and show the broken knob to the front desk. The guy literally accused us of breaking the knob and was rude and basically called us liars. There was no room for us to change to and he was unwilling to help. Really surprised us because and disappointed us

Our family had a wonderful stay at Holliday Inn express Fort Bragg. The staff were kind and welcoming. The room was very comfortable. Breakfast was amazing each morning with a great variety of things to choose from. Our five year old especially liked the pancake machine. Staff was very accommodating to our needs as far as a room and were o. Rop of ensuring that we were in a room not designated for animals due to allergies. Will definitely stay here next time we are in town.

Convenient location for exploring Mendocino and Fort Bragg at a reasonable price point. The free breakfast is a nice bonus. There is a Tesla charging station 2 blocks away if you need to charge your car. No ocean view and not super quaint like other options but also doesn’t have the cost associated with it.

It was a good stay all around. The only thing I can comment on is the breakfast area are too small and few seatings. There were days that not a lot of people can sit and enjoy their breakfast. One more thing is the toilet in our room and my friend’s room has very low pressure when flushing. We have to borrow a plunger to make the toilet functional again for two days in a row.
