“This landmark hotel, with over a century of history, faces the Pacific Ocean and sits centrally on Main Street. While some deferred maintenance is apparent, renovations are planned, and the location offers easy access to Mendocino's shops, restaurants, and coastal trails. It will be an amazing place after the renovation.”
