The Lodge at Bodega Bay

They advertise on Expedia as being able to provide stow-aways. That's why I booked and drove an hour up north to the location. It was my two kids, myself and my mother. The room had two Queen beds and I needed a sofa/stow-away, SOMETHING for my mother or I. I was met by an unkempt employee at check-in who even though polite could not care less and told me I couldn't get any extra bed due to "fire hazard". I did not receive one even though advertised as being available. But to add insult to injury the clerk was as uncaring as you can get and kept telling me the only option was to get a $1,000 executive suite. I asked repeatedly if there was anything available, a room with two King beds at least or something to sleep on. But NO!. So I ended up sleeping on the floor on a few pillows under me. You can imagine how well I slept and how bad I felt the next day. This at a 4 star resort! Any place with a sense of customer-service would do something to help a customer, let alone a place that charges $400 a night.

This is our third time celebrating our anniversary here. We love it so much that we will never to bring our kids here. Don't miss the wine and cheese and hibiscus tea that is complimentary between the hours of 3 and 5:00. They've even included yoga at 10:00 a.m.

The property was beautiful and peaceful. The walk to the beach was great for exercise and serenity. I didn't like the fact that a couple of children came to the pool and we had to leave. It's a pool in the spa area. The atmosphere changed immediately. Didn't think we'd see kids there.

Great resort. A little noisy because of all the kids staying up late. Staff was friendly and available. Resturant was sort of ho-hum as to service and food. Overall good place to stay.
