The Inn is a really charming stay with really uncomfortable beds, rooms with cobwebs and hair, and pretty bad food. Just go camping at Humboldt SP.

Founders Room
Sprung for the of the Founders Rooms. When we booked, the only one available was the Leta. Top floor, beautiful view, nicely decorated, and one of the largest bathrooms I've had at any hotel. They provide a few glasses worth of cream sherry which is a nice touch. Our experience with the service team was generally positive too, no complaints. It's a gorgeous property with beautiful grounds. Well worth a bucket list visit. One quick note to the hotel. There's about $12/day in fees that are not reflected in the Expedia/hotels.com pricing. The $20/day resort fee (paid at checkout) is captured by Expedias pricing, but the others were not.

I was transported back to a time where hospitality was more important than anything. The attention to historical preservation and tradition is felt throughout the inn. We extended our stay because we had such a wonderful experience.

Staying at the Benbow Inn was very nice. We actually preferred it over our other stays at the Hiltons. Was everything perfect like new? No, but it was more specialin the way that we stepped back in time and history. Something America lacks greatly. We appreciated the kindness of the staff and the delicious food. walking the halls and exploring the Inn, seeing rhe old photos, walking out back by the Eel River listening to the soothing sounds of the water running over the rocks, added to our vacation stories. Definitely recommend to add this Historical Inn to your travels.
