Historic places are always challenging. Neat structure but needing a little more care. The biggest downside was that the heat was not turned on for the guestroom wing in mid Sept., so the room was cold. Sinks had an issue draining. We were upgraded to a functioning rooms with a fireplace to save the stay.

We had a fantastic stay. The hotel has so much history and is beautiful. Our room was spacious and comfortable. The windows opened to the dining courtyard, and we had a view of the river and bridge. We could also hear the live music from below. It was very relaxing. The room was very clean, with nice amenities. We also really enjoyed breakfast and dinner - delicious and well presented. The afternoon tea should not be missed - wonderful hot scones! We highly recommend this hotel and we hope to return.

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.

Absolutely exceptional stay here! My wife & I couldn’t be happier with the service from the team here at Benbow Historic Inn. Down to earth people where you’re greeted with a smile and a kind greeting. 11/10, when we travel America again for the redwoods, we will definitely be staying here for a 2nd time. Thank you!
