ベンボウ ヒストリック イン (ガーバービル)

Stayed here few times before with decent experience. This trip bathtub backed up with every shower. Bed was stiff as a board. Also had to kill two spiders on ceiling. Told front desk and all we got was a sorry. You would think they would have credited something after telling them of the problems.

Our family took a weekend trip to Nor.Cal. to drive through Chandelier Tree, trek amongst the giant redwoods, and quickly visit Black Sands Beach. During our trip, we discovered the lovely Benbow Historic Inn. The property backs right up to Eel river, which my family enjoyed walking along, and is conveniently located off the 101. There’s so much character and charm. The bunk beds worked out great for our 2 young children. It was perfect for our overnight stay/weekend getaway.

There were cob webs all over the light fixtures. The restaurant was an issue. Usually it's fine - we've been many times. But this time, I asked for the fish to be cooked all the way through and it was basically raw. The manager took it back 3 times to be fully cooked. Still no discount even though my husband was all done eating by the time I got my food. Also, no one paid attention to all the cars parked in the front check in area. They were there all night, so when we checked in - in the rain, it was not fun walking so far. I even mentioned it at the front desk and they did nothing. And no TV in the rooms ??

Room is small with smell. Had to request for room change. Friendly staff. Nice environment. Restaurant is excellent.

It was really enjoyable!! The ambiance was absolutely PERFECT!
