The Inn at Schoolhouse Creek Map, Address, Transportation & Nearest Stations and Airport

The location of this hotel is beautiful on a bluff overlooking the ocean and cliffs. It would seem most rooms offer outstanding views of the coast line. We stayed in a Cliffside Full Ocean View room and the view did not disappoint. It was decent sized with a wall of windows to the view and a door to a deck with two Adirondack chairs. The bathroom was fine, but a little dark. The fireplace was great and your source of heating, which was needed even in late June. This also means the fireplace may come on in the middle of the night to keep the room heated - so be aware. Two swivel chairs were in front of the fireplace and easy to turn toward the view. We had the complimentary breakfast each morning which was okay but pretty basic and limiting to the point of not even offering popular cereal options. The hotel is setup in clusters of rooms attached together and spread out over 35 acres of rugged coastal landscape. At the top of the resort is a charming old farmhouse that houses the restaurant. Overall the website pictures make the hotel appear a little more luxurious than it actually is. The hotel does not have a lot of amenities so a stay here is about enjoying the view and using it as a base to explore the area including lovely nearby Mendocino. You can park next to your room and there is a $35 resort fee.

We love Fort Bragg and normally stay at the Harbor Lite Lodge overlooking Noyo Harbor. But last week we decided to stay at North Cliff because we’ve always wanted to check it out! The view was nice, great hot tub, a well furnished clean room! Here’s the BUT, it’s the little things that count more than the thick terry robes! The microwave plate clanked the entire time it was on, I drink tea so that was the only way to heat water...actual mugs would have been nice, but they only had paper cups...I like tea so there was a lot of clanking going on! Most hotels also have wine glasses, especially in the wine country but no just thin plastic cups, not so fun! The sheets were actually thread bare, and very scratchy, below average! We stayed at Harbor Lite last summer during COVID and they still offered breakfast, always had hot coffee and hot water available! The WiFi is more than spotty, pretty much not available...TV stations were very few and not HD, so distorted picture! We were very disappointed since our expectations were obviously greater than what the hotel offered! We won’t be staying again...

The standard Holiday Inn Express in the United States is similar to our domestic Jinjiang Inns and Hanting. The price is still very expensive, and it certainly does not meet the standard of the whole season. It is a bit worse than the domestic Holiday Express. The standard American breakfast is hard to swallow.

This hotel is excellently suited for a stop on a tour - it is located on Highway 1 and near the coast. It is very quiet here, you sleep in large and comfortable beds very wonderfully. The cleanness is without any defect, the bathroom is absolutely OK - and breakfast is picked up in the room - with it is a typical American motel breakfast. We would definitely stay here again.
