Camellia Inn - Healdsburg, California

The location is great and the service was great. I thought the breakfast was good and we're always willing to accept alterations to what they were serving. It lost a star with the room. We stayed in the firelight room. It was very quiet but it felt a little run down.... Not a lotta outlets and the hot water shower handle stopped working on our last morning.... It was suspect to start with. The bed was comfortable and the heat pump worked great. I know it's an old Victorian house, but still, I live in a 1912 house and I keep things painted, dusted, and the carpets clean.

We had a lovely experience. Overall, the building is a well maintained Victorian house that is warm and inviting. Rooms were spacious and clean ans reasonably priced. Staff were kind and professional. I could tell this place pays a lot of attention to comfort and detail and I would 100% stay here again.

If I had to give one feedback, there was a slight intermittent odor in the bathroom.

Our room was large, and the bed was comfortable. The included breakfasts were creative and delicious. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Delicious cookies every afternoon. Staff was also very helpful in scheduling complementary wine tastings at three different Wilson Winery's.

My husband and I stayed here on our way home, it looked beautiful online however we were very disappointed in just some basic things that one hopes for. So just to get up in the morning and have a cup of coffee is a basic request. We woke up around 6 to 630. I just think coffee should’ve been available there with coffee, cream, and sugar. A pretty basic request. One morning there was no coffee there at all, and when someone finally arrived to attend to it, she took away the creamer so I had to go hunt her down to get it for my coffee. Also basic: a hook of a rod to hang a wet towel or a bathrobe or clothing would be so nice. I have found that to make travel comfortable one just needs these basic amenities met. They were not and it was very frustrating. There was a very awkward rod next to the bed up high with an ironing board stored there as well so when I went to hang something there, I came down on a vertical metal thing from the ironing board sticking out - the ironing board then extended itself there in that small space, awkward and stressful. ||The room we stayed in was beautifully remodeled, but so impractical - no place to hang anything so everything stays in the suitcase. We were very disappointed. I feel that this place is leaning too much on location. Also, we could not get the heating unit to work at all and the gal that was there working tried to be helpful but she couldn’t get it to work either. Also, the landscaping needs serious cleaning. It was gross and dirty.

Very comfortable stay 2 blocks from downtown square. Terrific breakfast and very friendly and accommodating staff. Off street parking and a nice place to meet people on your trip. Good beds and a spacious room. Our 2 night stay was very enjoyable. Other guests hung out in the downstairs and were very open and friendly.

This is the place to stay in Healdsburg. You are right in the heart of downtown. They have off street parking and secured doors at each entrance for safety. The staff is wonderful and so accommodating. Wine when you arrive and a great breakfast served at your table. The rooms are warm and the beds soft and cozy. Just a great place to gather after a day of wine tasting for shopping in town.

On the more positive side first, the Inn is in a great location, close to food, shops, and small tasting rooms. The one amenity that did ring true was the outdoor pool. It was warm annd inviting at the end of a long day, and appeared to be very clean. The grounds around it not so much. Sadly, this is pretty much It for the positives. ||We have stayed at many B&Bs in the Healdsburg area in the past, including The Camellia Inn. Things have certainly gone downhill since we stayed there last. Our room for this stay was described as a poolside modern. Not exactly what we wanted, but all that was available at the time. The room was located on the back of the house and was a remodeled garage sitting mostly under the first floor of the home. All of the guest parking was located just outside our room and so we had the displeasure each morning of car noise and engine fumes from vehicles warming up. ||The interior of the room would’ve been considered “modern” in the 1970’s. They boast that the room has a giant bathtub, but the only problem with that is they don’t supply enough hot water to fill it even halfway. As for the air conditioning, I could pass gas over the top of an ice cube and it would be colder. While they provide you a do not disturb placard for your door, that doesn’t do a lot of good when the kitchen is directly above your room and they begin making noise and dropping stuff on the floor above you between 6:30 and 7 AM.||In their advertising, they speak of an evening wine gathering. When we inquired, we were told they haven’t done that since Covid, and instead they just put some wine and glasses in your room in the evenings. That didn’t happen either. On our last night, we decided to pick up a bottle of wine for our room. We had noticed that they had wine buckets, and glasses available at the entrance to the Inn, but I guess it was too much to expect that they might have a corkscrew available in wine country. My wife did call the after hours number to inquire if a corkscrew might be available, and as of this writing, we still have not received a call back.||It has been our experience that at a B&B, the breakfast are generally something to write home about. The breakfast's were mediocre at best. One morning, they served us a few leafy greens with balsamic dressing, and some type of quiche that was cooked in some areas, and not in others. When you walk into the dining room in the morning, and stop at the coffee nook to get your coffee, tea, OJ, etc., by the time you get to your table, they’ve already served the morning yogurt and fruit, and before you barely even get started on that, they show up with your mediocre breakfast. So much for peaceful relaxation.||Until (if) the inn gets it act together, recommend you look for other accommodations

The location is perfect for a fun weekend in wine country. Walking distance to fabulous restaurants, tasting rooms and shopping!! And a short drive to beautiful vineyards and wineries. Our bed was so comfortable, the breakfasts were amazing 🤩 and the staff was so very accommodating and friendly!!
