Read the reviews on yelp and TripAdvisor, mixed to bad.
Here are TripAdvisor's reviews for places in Monte Rio.

Most seem nicer than the Northwood.
You might also look at Occidental,6 miles away, and a world unto itself. AAA magazine article on Occidental.

Among all the touristy restaurants is a truely excellent restaurant. Bistro Des Copains. It is one of the highest ranked restaurants in all of the greater Bay Area by Zagat.

Yes, I checked TA - 9 reviews, average 4 out of 5. Doesn't look bad.
Yelp has opposite reviews. I wonder why is such a difference.
I still don't understand the bad reviews on Yelp. Had they expected a Ritz Carlton?

Great place for relaxation, all 3 couples loved it and didn't find anything negative except our trip seemed too short
I will post a report in a separate thread, just want to say this motel is really good, and I'm glad we didn't listen to the naysayers!
