Good location in the small historic town of Mendocino among charming Victorian houses that face the gorgeous headland cliffs overlooking⁹ the ocean. I made a reservation for the deluxe king room - Headlands Hideaway - which I didn't know was in a different building across the street from the main bed and breakfast house. This room was in a nondescript duplex building with no access from the street. You pass through the wooden gate that leads to a wood deck in the back and enter from this back porch. It was a little odd, but I ended up liking the quiet privacy of the cozy room. The room looked exactly like the photos except that there wasn't any outdoor furniture on the wooden deck. I'm assuming that's because it was a cold, rainy March and April this year. The Wi-Fi worked well and the gas stove heated the room like a champ! It was easily controlled by a wall thermostat. Though no one was present to check me in at the big house, instructions were left to help me pick up the keys and find my room. Inside, there was a binder with more apartment information, as well as local sites and restaurants. I later discovered that check in messages had been sent through Booking, but didn't have a cell signal to see them until after check in. I thought it was a tad more expensive than it should have been given the fact that several of the amenities mentioned in the reviews did not apply to this off-site accommodation. I arrived at 2:15pm, but a note on the door stated the manager would return at 3pm. So I went out walking the Headlands and returned around 6, but no one was there. I guess reception is only a 2hr window... This apartment does not have a view. The French door entry overlooks the back deck and the neighbor's grass backyard beyond that. The bathroom window overlooks the street. The upscale toiletries included shampoos and soaps that were all-natural blends that smelled like... a fistful of flowers and weeds from a garden. I was not a fan; I bought a bar of generic soap in town. The shower and toilet were low-flow, but that is to be expected in California, a state in a state of perpetual drought. The king bed mattress was a bit worn with the obvious sink pattern of two people sleeping on each side of a hump in the middle. The delicious breakfast with the hot soufflé, French toast, bacon, etc. that the guest reviews raved about did not extend to me at the Hideaway. The welcome information left for me stated that a breakfast basket of muffins, granola bars, and fruit would be delivered in the morning. As it turned out, I left before 9am, so I was not there to receive this basket, anyway. I did not receive fresh flowers or chocolates in my room, either. I arrived too late to know whether or not I would've been invited to the afternoon tea... I DID have a key to the main house, but no explanation as to why. I felt it would be oddly intrusive to let myself into the bed and breakfast when my room wasn't in that house. The
