Bodega Bay Lodge

We had the most wonderful quick getaway at The Lodge at Bodega Bay. From the moment we arrived, it felt peaceful, relaxing, and exactly what we needed. The rooms were amazing: spacious, beautifully designed, and incredibly comfortable. Waking up to those stunning coastal views was truly the highlight. The scenery alone makes this place special; it’s the kind of view that instantly slows you down and helps you breathe a little deeper. Dining at Drakes Sonoma Coast was superb. The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere perfectly matched the coastal charm of the lodge. It made the stay feel even more elevated and memorable. Another bonus is the location! It’s conveniently close to Fishetarian Fish Market, which is perfect if you’re craving fresh seafood in a more casual setting. Overall, this was the perfect coastal escape // relaxing, scenic, and beautifully done. We can’t wait to return.

This property & staff always delivers. We celebrated our anniversary at the lodge and there was a welcome note and bottle of wine waiting for us upon arrival. The rooms are tastefully decorated and the views of the ocean are very special. We always enjoy the spa and the grounds. It's a truly relaxing stay and one we enjoy every time.

First stay at The Lodge at Bodega Bay. My wife and I will certainly be back. We've seen the lodge on previous visits and had dinner at Drakes, but actually staying there greatly elevated our opinion. We stayed in an upstairs room (212) which had a beautiful view. The room was very comfortable and nicely decorated. I found the bed to be a tad on the firm side, but I'm a fan of soft mattresses. The room had all the amenities one would expect - a coffee machine, refrigerator, iron & ironing board, and hair dryer. No safe, but Bodega Bay doesn't really strike one as a high crime area. We didn't fire up the wood-burning fireplace, but it looked lovely. There was some speculation we heard from the staff that eventually the wood-burning fireplaces might be replaced with gas fireplaces at some point in the future. The whole lodge is very tastefully decorated. The vibe (to use the current terminology) is elegant and relaxing. It being February, we didn't bring our swim suits, but both the small pool and the infinity-edge hot tub were being used by other guests, and looked very inviting. Also inviting is the fire pit in the pool area. Drakes restaurant deserves its own review, but I'll say briefly that the food and the service were both great. We had breakfast, lunch, and dinner at Drakes, and enjoyed everything we had.

It was an nice bay area getaway, but some of the things were a bit dated or broken in the hotel. It has a nice location near a walking trail with bird watching and close to restaurants. Pros: - Came to a room with a welcome note and small present - very thoughtful - Very nice service especially at Drakes - super nice staff and helpful and responsive - Beautiful view - Hot tub - Clean gym with spa water - Hot chocolate / wine hour / coffee in the AM - Nice coffee machine in the room Cons: - There was a conference/meeting/get together and these people were LOUD until like 2am - wish there was security or front desk enforcing the screaming / talking loudly past rooms and running around. Felt more like a motel than a hotel. - Sauna wasn't working - never got hot despite keeping it on for a significant time to warm up - was really bummed since we were looking forward to using it - Clean up at pool and missing towels - guests weren't as clean and there were a lot of wet towels laying around and trash and there weren't a lot of clean towels ready to be used - The TV wifi connection to cast from your phone didn't quite work

The Lodge at Bodega Bay offers a wonderful stay, with its various room options, great dining, and nearby trails. A real gem of the area.
