Seabird Lodge

This is hands down the most pet friendly hotel I’ve ever stayed at. Located right across from the ocean with a large grass field for bathroom trips with the dogs, score! We originally had booked a double queen room but, the guest decided to extend their stay so it was no longer available. My son is 12, he can sleep on a rollaway, no big deal! Because of the inconvenience they said the dogs could stay for free!!! We have 3 dogs that are supposed to be an additional $ 15 per dog per night so I was more than happy! My son said the roll away was more comfortable than his bed at home anyway! The rooms are spacious, the bathroom was decently large and the pool/​spa/​vending area is located in the middle of the hotel so, convenient for all guests! I would definitely stay here again!

A favorite of these two seniors and two Boston terriers. Friendly, clean, near restaurants plus indoor pool and hot tub. Perfect north coast location.

What a treat! These people know how to run a hotel!!! Super clean from our room to the pool and spa we were so impressed! Coffee, tea and hot cocoa all day. great for the cooler weather. homemade muffins in the morning. They gave us everything we needed for our quick getaway to Fort Bragg. I so hope we will get to come back this summer! We WILL be staying at the SEABIRD!

Cutest hotel in the cutest town. Perfect place to go if you have dogs! Owner is very accommodating, and even makes homemade muffins for breakfast. It was very affordable and clean. Will definatly be back!

For the price and all things considered its OK.
–1 AC does not work. Open your window and turn on the ac. It only puts out hot air…
–1 beds are super soft. Cheap quality mattress that will break your back
Everything was fine till an individual came and knocked on our door. Thought that it was maybe another patron and we were too loud. The individual asked us how we were doing and if we were having a good time. Asked us if we wanted some «local delights» and if we «smoked and wanted to smoke a joint…» He practically invited himself in, but we told him no. At the end he wanted me to shake his hand to show that we were «cool»…Sigh

For $ 330 for 3 nights, during Thanksgiving weekend (including tax and pet fees,) I was completely impressed with Seabird Lodge. It’s not fancy but the rooms are clean and spacious, with a microwave, fridge and an ocean view from our 2^nd floor room. If you have pets this is a great value with a $ 10 per night pet fee (not per pet.) The rooms are a bit older and have some wear but for the price I could look past that. I found the bed to be super comfortable with big fluffy pillows and one of the better hotel mattresses I’ve slept on-​seriously I got the best sleep here than I had in ages. They were generous with the towels and nicely scented orange soap.
The property does have an indoor pool and hot tub, which I didn’t use, but good to know was there. There was a simple breakfast each morning. Free freshly made muffins, yogurt, coffee and teas were laid out each day until 10 a.m. The muffins were quite tasty (they had pumpkin cranberry the weekend we visited!)
They welcomed our cats and didn’t mind that we left the do not disturb sign on the door while we went out for the day. The kitties got to stay in, uninterrupted, to cat nap the day away. Finally, you are centrally located with easy access to all of the area beaches, parks and cute downtown Fort Bragg. We were just a few miles from Mendocino Botanical Gardens and the Sea Glass museum too. Overall if you need something simple, no frills and affordable this is a great place to stay along the coast.

This is a remarkably wonderful economy motel. The staff is very welcoming and the spacious room was excellent. We had a fridge, microwave, hairdryer – and a view of the ocean! I will definitely return. Oh, and the cable was far more than local news – we had many channels we enjoy, including MSNBC.

This property earns five stars because of their outstanding service, clean rooms and reasonable price.
A great location centered in Fort Bragg. The reception area is clean and the staff is friendly. We were happy to be greeted by Abby, the Seabird’s labrador/​pitbull mix.
An additional bonus was that they allowed us to park our motorcycles under the covered check-​in area due to the chance of rain that evening. Excellent service!

I was here for work as it was the closest hotel to the rate my work would pay for. The room was decent but it happened to be really warm that day and it does not have AC so thank god there was fan in the room or there was no way I’d be able to sleep. I mean I could have left the window open but it is just walkway outside so I didn’t feel comfortable just leaving it open. There were ants all over the sink too. I mean I’d wash them down the sink and more kept coming. I was only there for one night so I just dealed with it. Not bad but not good either. Just in between.

Hello all,
We found this little medium lodge on
for our weekend in Fort Bragg easy to book and check in, the staff super friendly and they love and own there own dogs! Rooms are clean and snappy clean sheets and our dog was very comfortable that was most important, we would defiantly stay here again. Reason for four stars is our dog has four paws.

Reservations for the Seabird are a deal-​breaker for our getaway plans on the Coast. My kitties are as welcome as the humans escorting them. The hot-​tub and pool are perfect and absolutely clean. WiFi works! Desk staff and all are warm and welcoming, and the view of the ocean, the sound of the fog horns, perfect. Rates are absolutely appropriate (leave a Thanks for the Housekeepers) and the morning coffee and HOMEMADE muffins a perfect prelude to breakfast at the HomeStyle Café (across the parking lot.) We live inland, and often come to the Seabird for short R&Rs we can afford. We’re treated like family, and that goes both ways. THANKS SEABIRD!

We recently stayed the weekend here and was pleasantly surprised by the homemade muffins for breakfast. The room was clean and tidy. I always appreciate coffee in the room. My daughter left her stuffed animals on the bed and we didn’t realize it until we were home. I called right away, the office had them set aside and offered to mail them to me. I would recommend the Seabird to anyone traveling to the coast.

One of the few places that are pet friendly without size restrictions. You really get what you pay for at this lodge. The rooms are very basic, with old décor, but everything is clean and well maintained. There is no AC, local TV at best, and the continental breakfast is typical hotel fare. Anywhoo, the beach is close enough so have fun while in Fort Bragg.

Stayed here for two nights and the room was comfortable, clean and well-​maintained.
Very reasonable price for a room with a fridge and microwave. But, the room was very stuffy, even with the window open — luckily a fan was provided and that made it possible to be in the room and sleep.
There’s a continental breakfast provided which we tried the first morning, and unfortunately it was not what we were hoping for. Weak coffee, muffins that were completely dried out, and a well-​known yogurt brand that has WAY too much sugar in it. But there are restaurants within a few minutes’ drive. And the location was convenient to the downtown area and just a few miles from several wonderful beaches and the Botanical Gardens.

We found ourselves in Fort Bragg one Friday evening and without accommodations and looking online we found only a few options that were extremely overpriced in my opinion. I was willing to spend $ 100 a night but the cheapest one I found was $ 170 and didn’t even look that nice. So we decided to just drive through town and check in with places that had a vacancy, since several didn’t. We came across this and the Motel 8 we decided to check here first and they had a room that had a microwave and a mini fridge. There was free coffee, tea and hot chocolate in the lobby and in the morning they had yogurt, juice, and homemade muffins by the owner, who also owns the chocolate shop in town. We saw so many pets here and inquired about it and it os only $ 10 cleaning fee to have your pet stay here too! When I asked their response was «you have a pet you didn’t bring?!» LOL I said we weren’t sure of our plans or where we’d end up but I know now I can bring him. They have a wall of past pet visitors on the wall and even have a lab mix in the office. They take them from tea cup size to mini horses is what they lady said. So large and small bring them all is the motto. The room was very clean and well equipped, the buildings are two story and we had a nice private room in the back building overlooking an empty lot so no headlights in the windows and didn’t even hear any cars from where we were. They have a pool and spa and there is a café located right out front. I am reality glad we found this place $ 99 a night and lots of good advice on what to do in the area. I will be back and next time I might bring Jak (my 90lb Lab).

In the words of my mother, «You get what you pay for.» Concerning Seabird Lodge, I got what I paid for and that makes me one happy customer. Convenient Pacific Highway location — check. Friendly service– check. Clean room — check. Semi-​weird smell in room — maybe. Indoor pool — check. Continental unhealthy breakfast complete with mini muffins — check (however, the mint tea totally made up for it). I believe our King room ran somewhere around $ 65-​$ 75. Not shabby, eh?
I chose the location based on Unilocal reviews and the fact that they offer an indoor pool. Unfortunately, I did not make use of the pool due to the abundance of unattended hellions running the show.
Note: this business is über dog-​friendly (by this I mean they hang photos of past dog guests on the wall in the entry)
Bonus note: food options in Fort Bragg are meh. However, they do have a highly creative vegan-​based business/​school up the street.

We came into town to check out glass beach and needed a place to stay last min. I wanted a place with a pool and spa to enjoy that didn’t close early like most. It was open until 10pm! And are both indoor witH a heated pool.
The spa has a waterfall thing that feels great on your neck after hiking the beach.
The receptionist was very friendly.
It was the cheapest rate we could find as it’s presidents weekend.
The rooms were nice and clean.
There was also amazing homemade muffins in the morning and yogurt for the complimentary breakfast.
I would stay here again.

I really enjoyed staying at this lodge during my trip to Fort Bragg during September 2013, The room was facing the ocean so that was neat. The price was not bad at about $ 90.00 per night. There is an indoor pool and jacuzzi which was soothing after hanging out in the cold ocean air. The lobby of the lodge was decorated with sweet posters and decorations that made me feel at home. They serve breakfast such as muffins, yogurt, and coffee. The customer service was friendly too.
I recommend staying here during a visit to Fort Bragg. Check out Mackerricher Park which is about 10 – 15 minutes away from the lodge. It has tide pools, a seal watching deck, and sometimes nature walks.
Enjoy your trip to Fort Bragg!

*********PET FRIENDLY*******
Though my little furry one didn’t travel with me to this hotel. I really liked that it was «four-​legged child» friendly. Abby, the motels mascot was at the front desk greeting everyone with her big beautiful brown eyes, she’s adorable.
The staff was very friendly and the rooms were nicer than I expected. The price was very reasonable and it’s in a great location. We were lucky enough to get an ocean view room and had an amazing view of the Pacific.
They also had a very nice continental breakfast available.
I’d definitely stay here again, hopefully with the little furry one next time.

In a moment of rare spontaneity, Jamie W. and I decided to motor up to Fort Bragg for Labor Day weekend. We knew most of the town would be booked up, including our perennial getaway place, Ocean View Lodge, where we could wake up to the crashing waves of the Pacific. After combing through
with one hand and eating Buffalo wings with the other (we were at Chevy’s in SoMa after all), I found that the Seabird Lodge had vacancies. I vaguely recalled it as the worn-​looking motel adjacent to the cholesterol-​busting Home Style Café, a favorite haunt of ours.
Sure enough, it was the worn-​looking hotel of my recollection, and the décor doesn’t look much changed since the Nixon administration. All that was missing were the reproduced velvet paintings of the shoreline that usually adorn the walls of oceanside motels. We were lucky to get a room since they were the official host for Paul Bunyan Days. I was picturing lumberjacks and jills swinging their huge axes and Babe the Blue Ox taking a dump in the parking lot, but no, it was a relatively quiet, standard-​grade motel, well managed by the couple at the front desk. We had a mini-​fridge and a small TV with all the pay-​cable we wanted.
There’s also a small indoor pool if those kinds of amenities excite you, though it looks like it’s targeted for the kiddies since that’s all I saw frolicking in the pool. I assume the drunken revelers must splash later in the evening. Our procrastination did cost us since it was $ 135 per night (with an AAA card), hardly a bargain but in a pinch, it was convenient and clean, which was basically all we wanted. Besides, it was a foggy weekend, so we could have hardly enjoyed the Ocean View for the premium we would have paid there. If nothing else, we were able to walk over to the Home Style Café for some much-​desired biscuits and gravy. How can you knock that?
