Ocean View Lodge

On sight handy man made an attempt to make our stay comfortable despite power outage in town.

There was a power outage in Fort Bragg where this motel was located. So they were having operational issues - but the staff person who was in the office was exceedingly rude all the way around. We had booked via hotels.com and received two confirmations - one from hotels.com and one from their own website. 1) The employee in the office rudely challenged the the booking. I had to show her evidence of email on my phone. 2) She was exceedingly and peronally rude about my trained and documented service animal and made rude comments as to his status. There was no power in the building and they had scaled down. A technical person on staff did say he had hooked up hot water with generator and extension chords - they were clearly expecting other guests. But no power/light/refrigeration/ etc. No offer of flashlights, or any help. We arrived late in evening and couldn't find gas to leave town. No reasonable attempt to compensate to any proportion. They demanded full payment which was tooooo! High- in any event. Beware of small minded, small town mentality personnel in this location.

The view and location near town, trail and beach. They had nice touches with ceramic coffee mugs and wine glasses in room. Room was well cleaned. Friendly staff.

The heater was old/loud and no heater in the bathroom. Had to turn heater off to sleep. The carpet was old and the room had a funny smell. Bed was Hard. Would've been more acceptable if the price was less. Price too high for dated quality.

It had a nice view of the ocean.

The room was very outdated for the price and the balcony had no seating or privacy.
