Sweetwater Inn And Spa - A historic Mendocino hotel with eco-spa facilities, garden views, and coastal dining options

Located between two premier restaurants, this Mendocino hotel features various accommodation types, from cozy upstairs rooms to multi-level suites. The Redwood Tower, a three-story building, provides ocean, village, and Big River views from its rooftop deck. Sweetwater Inn And Spa's rooms include gas fireplaces, private bathrooms, and fully equipped kitchenettes in select units. The property's Sweetwater Eco Spa offers outdoor redwood hot tubs, infrared and traditional saunas, and massage services from 11 AM to 10 PM. Some cottages feature private garden areas with personal hot tubs. The hotel sits within 0.5 miles of Big River Beach and Gallery One, while the Mendocino Art Center and Temple of Kwan Tai are 0.5 miles away. Eight restaurants, including Luna Trattoria and MacCallum House Restaurant, are within a 0.5-kilometer radius.

Pros

Private morning and after-hours access to spa facilities

Organic, locally-produced Magnatrophe treatments available

Multiple accommodation options with kitchen facilities

Rooftop deck offering panoramic coastal views

Cons

Shared spa facilities during regular operating hours

Some rooms are not pet-friendly

“Sweetwater Inn And Spa strikes me as a relaxed Mendocino getaway, placing guests within strolling distance of both the town and scenic headlands; the cottages themselves have character, and some offer private hot tubs and gardens. The complimentary muffins get high marks, though I note some rooms could use a privacy upgrade. It's a suitable choice for those prioritizing location and distinctive charm.”
