Took a few days for a lovely north coast drive - spent three quiet nights at the Joshua Grindle Inn - great location - walked to town - lovely spacious room facing the water - updated bathroom - friendly public space - good breakfasts - and professional innkeepers.

We recently had a brief but wonderful visit to Mendocino for the first time. It was a last minute trip and we were able to book in at Josh Grindle Inn. What a great place! The rooms were cozy without being too prissy, as some inns are, and were spotlessly clean. The innkeepers have thought of every detail; lovely toiletries,... More

Once again we chose Joshua Grindle Inn, Mendocino, for part of our trip on the coast. The breakfasts are superior, nights are restful, and with cozy big fireplace. We stayed in the North Cypress of the cottage. Innkeepers keep on top of everything and will always remain two of our very best friends!!

We had a lovely 3 nights at the Grindle. The suite was quiet and relaxing. We really enjoyed our time spent with you and our new friends at breakfast Thank you Cindy for the excellent dinner reservations and thank you Charles for the warm welcome and overview of the area attractions.

We have been traveling to CA every year for the past 30 years to escape the Northeast winter and for 28 years we have spent 3 or 4 days in Mendocino. We can't imagine staying anywhere but the Joshua Grindle Inn! Charles and Cindy are the perfect innkeepers - warm, friendly and full of suggestions for things to do and... More

Each room is an experience – a delight to enter (with a welcoming half bottle of wine beckoning), comfortable for visiting, reading, sleeping. The bathrooms are very nice with high quality... More

There wasn't a flat screen TV with satellite channels and DVD or mini-bar or gymn facilities but there was a very warm welcome from Christine then an equally warm welcome from the... More

This is one place that we have returned to over and over again. We began going to Joshua Grindle Inn nearly 20 years ago, and keep going back. Why? The peaceful, quiet atmosphere, white crowned sparrows singing outside your window, no media, no hassles, excellent breakfast in the sun on the porch, the rustic garden, the fabulous massages, the quaint...

After years of wanting to visit Mendocino, I finally went, and was truly pleased that I chose Charles & Cindy's place for my first visit. I am a stickler for peace and quiet when I travel, and that's exactly what I found at Joshua Grindle Inn. My spotless room in the original Victorian water tower was comfortably appointed and ample...
