Nicholson House at Beaujolais Mendocino - Mendocino, California

Such a beautiful place to stay in a beautiful part of California. We recently spent a weekend at the Nicholson House and our stay was lovely from start to finish. The suite was gorgeous in terms of design and decor, and also really comfortable. The heated floor in the bathroom was a nice surprise! We had delicious breakfasts at The Waiting Room and an incredible dinner at Cafe Beaujolais right next door. Highly recommend a stay at the Nicholson House!

We’ve been coming to Mendocino for 16 years, and Nicholson House is hands down the nicest hotel we’ve stayed in. We loved the quality of the rooms and the attention to detail; everything was done to an exceptionally high standard. We also enjoyed having coffee in the mornings next door at The Waiting Room. The location was superb—you can park your car and easily walk anywhere in the town of Mendocino.

Had just a quick night at the Nicholson House. Great location and loved the simple check-in process. The queen room we had was well appointed and well designed. The heated floors in the bathroom were an extra-great touch. Would def come back and upgrade to a King with a view!

Nicholson House + Beaujolais next door = perfection. It is a special place. Great vibe. Beautiful decor. Beaujolais food is eclectic. Chef Julian is so talented and humble. Service is off the charts. I highly recommend it. Great service. Staff is happy and caring. If you want to get pampered and even spoiled while also getting the sense of local culture, this is the place. I can't recommend it high enough....

I stayed here for a getaway with my mom and dog in one of the pet friendly suites. It was literally perfection. From the welcome drink and Madelines to the heated bathroom floor to the plush towels and bedding to the ocean view right outside our window or feeling like we had a private yard to sit in adirondack chairs and drink coffee to free delicious lattes and pastries in The Waiting Room to walking steps to incredible locally sourced restaurants…everything felt like the most special moment. Thank you!

The Nicholson House property is located in the beautiful town of Mendocino and a convenient walk to all the town has to offer. While the property is charming and well-kept, I had several issues with my stay and ultimately wished I'd stayed elsewhere. Because there are no staff on-property, you have the option of messaging via their online portal, calling via phone, or going next door to the cafe to speak with a staff member. I attempted all three of those methods without much assistance. I arrived to the property just before check-in and sent a message via the portal. The next morning after still no response, I went over to the cafe to inquire. The barista let me know the manager was out of town, and they too were having a hard time getting in touch with her. I then attempted to call the property (a total of three times) each time going to voicemail. Eventually my call was returned, however, the service I received was not satisfactory. I spent the entire night awake listening to a very loud family below me and could even hear my neighbor snoring through the wall (with ear plugs in). I requested a white-noise machine or another solution - an air purifier was provided to drown out the sound of screaming children and parents. Ultimately, if you appreciate responsive staff and quiet, peaceful accommodations, I would strongly recommend choosing a different property.

Nicholson House was absolutely perfect! Just a beautiful & luxurious stay. So so happy we found it. The complimentary breakfast was delicious - for two people you get a free premium breakfast item & a drink each. The location is lovely for a get away. If you are considering it just book it!

Our recent stay at the Nicholson House was nothing short of exceptional. Nestled in the heart of downtown, the hotel’s location was perfect—just steps away from all the local restaurants, shops, and beach.

What set them apart was their impeccable attention to detail and hospitality. The freshly ground coffee was a thoughtful touch that enhanced our mornings. Additionally, the
hotel blended modern amenities with a historic charm. The sleek, contemporary design of the room provided every comfort we could ask for, while maintaining the architectural details of the building’s rich history.

The Nicholson House exceeded our expectations in every way. Its prime downtown location, coupled with the exceptional attention to detail and the perfect mix of modern and historic elements, made our stay unforgettable. We highly recommend Nicholson House to anyone looking for a charming and convenient place to stay in the heart of the town.
