  • Greenwood Pier Inn Video: Unsurpassed views. From the decks, the windows, you watch the whales, the seals, the gulls, the fog, the ocean sunsets. Watching from an ocean bluff-covered with myriad rock formations along the shore in a once-thriving lumber town called Elk. You walk the wide sandy beach in the state park just south of the inn. There are fireplaces, private baths with hand painted tiles and Jacuzzi tubs, soft down comforters, artistic expressions everywhere.

    The inn was wonderful; however the staff serving breakfast were not overly friendly, and was upset when I asked for more syrup....short staffed at breakfast for as many guests that were there.

    Spectacular location makes up for quality of service

    Spectacular location with beautiful views and an enchanting garden. However, as other reviewers have commented, the Greenwood Pier Inn is rather run down. We stayed in the Tower Room, which has seen better days. It had a double bed and a futon for the third person staying with us, which we had to make up ourselves. Breakfast was a fixed menu, not to everyone's taste, and coffee was served in paper cups. Given the cost of staying at the Greenwood Pier Inn, I would think that at the very least, coffee could be provided in a real cup. Fortunately, however, the location and views make up for the quality of service.

    Great view!

    The view from our rooms was breathtaking. The cons were the room was pretty cold even with the effort of building a fire, the room leaked when it rained and the smoke alarm had been removed and stuck in a piece of furniture. The staff seemed relatively untrained but were friendly and tried hard to please.

    My partner and I escaped to Mendocino county for the weekend. We found a groupon deal for Greenwood Pier Inn and made our way up north from the south bay. It was a long drive with the final stretch cutting across from HWY 101 over to Hwy 1 being a long and winding stretch. The locals were much more comfortable with this stretch than I and were frustrated with the 50 mph pace I was limping along with. When we arrived at GPI we were welcomed by a young gal who checked us into our room. the room had a rustic appearance. It was very comfortable with excellent views of the ocean. The room was large. We took several pictures together on the deck outside the room with fabulous ocean background views. There was a little place to eat within walking distance. It had a simple pub like menu. the food was okay and the atmosphere was simple and nice. ~Troy

    Gorgeous setting

    Our winter stay in the quiet little town of Elk found the quaint Greenwood Pier Inn on the edge of a bluff above the pounding waves of the Pacific ocean. Magnificent coastal scenery and gorgeous gardens providing fresh-cut flowers in the room. Winter slow season may find the Cafe closed, but luckily there was one restaurant open a few steps further so we didn't have to drive to Mendocino. Our room was sweet but aging with leaky faucet, non-functioning tv and hairdryer, and 1/2 a curtain not covering the bathroom window that fronts Highway 1. The view was so lovely, that we did not let the inconveniences bother us. The discount deal included a bottle of sparkling wine and truffles, and fresh-cooked breakfast was delivered to our room in the morning.
