Fodor's Expert Review The Lodge at Bodega Bay

Looking out to the ocean across a wetland, the lodge's shingle-and-river-rock buildings contain Bodega Bay's finest accommodations. Spacious rooms are appointed with high-quality bedding; most have fireplaces, patios or balconies, and ocean views, while some have vaulted ceilings and jetted tubs. The ocean-view Drakes Sonoma Coast focuses on locally raised produce, meats, and seafood; the wine list showcases Sonoma County labels, supplemented by bottlings from beyond. Woodside Hotels, a trusted upscale brand with properties in prime vacation destinations, operates the resort.
