Bodega Bay Lodge

My whole experience at The Lodge at Bodega Bay was amazing. The staffs were amazing. They were understanding due to our situation and adjusted their attitude to accommodate us. It felt good knowing others care in our time of needs. Thank you

For our 30th Anniversary, we took a road trip that included Bodega Bay and this spot was amazing. From the pictures, the campus exceeded expectations and was just so happy with our stay. The pool and spa area were really lovely, sorry I hadn't booked any spa-treatments (next time for sure). Every person we met in Drake's and the fireside bar area were all so lovely - can't wait to return.

A stunning environment with a friendly, efficient, helpful staff! Everyone worked so hard to make sure our stay was memorable. Dinner at Drake's was delicious, and the setting was beautiful. Even the housekeeping staff was friendly and accommodating.

We chose a brief get-away here after the chaos of politics. It was just a perfect stay! The weather really cooperated, sunny days and cool nights. We love one of the cozy separate suites right by the pool which are nice and roomy and quiet. We dined several times at Drakes and the food and service were both excellent. No downsides except we had to leave. We will definitely be coming back again.

Plus side--heated bathroom floor, woodburning fireplace, high beamed ceiling in room, pretty good food and drink on property, large outdoor jacuzzi with endless edge overlooking the bay. Negative side: The sauna is clearly broken and staff is in denial. First a bellboy (?), then maintenance was sent and told us to wait a half hour after pushing reset button. After an hour it was up to only 120F, then it stopped heating entirely--most disappointing. The wine and cheese experience was insulting and inappropriate for a lodge with the pretense of luxury--thin, narrow wedges of two cheeses lay on a platter with two small bunches of grapes and honey and jam on the side, with no plates or utensils and only small paper napkins for service. A server stood by a bottle of house Chardonnay and one of Cabernet. We arrived at 3:30 PM on Friday; since the wine/cheese ended at 4:00 PM my husband sent me to have a snack and I found only crumbs of cheese on the platter and a couple of crackers. The following day there weren't even crackers. Housekeeping was untidy and left a small bottle of Palmolive liquid dishwashing soap on our bathroom counter.
