The bath tub is not safe and the water can’t get down to the drain.
This is a beautiful location and our room was great. It feels a bit remote but the store and deli across the street has a good selection. We had deli sandwiches and sat outside. On the patio to eat them.
Great setting and service. Some of the property appears to be under some ongoing and needed repairs but it didnt impair our use of the room. Will stay here again.

Okay for a Short Stay
Stayed at Fort Ross Lodge for a night — overall a peaceful and convenient spot right off Hwy 1. The room was clean but a bit dated, and the bed wasn’t the most comfortable. Still, it’s a nice place if you’re looking for a quiet stop along the coast.

Just needs a little TLC. For $300 especially.
A sink would be great since there are dishes. Cute place. Nice views♥️
This is the most over priced venue I have ever seen. Extremely dated. Not clean at all. My wife wouldn't even use the shower. This is evidence that anything can look good on the internet. Much much better options available in the same or lower price point.
The room was advertised as having an ocean view and while it did, it was an ocean view obstructed by the entire parking lot. At some point this view included a very tall sprinter van with its headlights on facing into our room. Additionally, to the poor view was a complete lack of privacy. The only choices for covering the sliding glass door, visible to the entire property, were blackout curtains. You could have privacy or you could have a view but you could not have both.
We had to check in rather late and they were very accommodating- they even had a fire going in our room when we arrived which was very welcoming. The room was very clean and the staff were friendly and attentive. And of course, the location is incredible. What a view to wake up to!
