Full Breakdown: Top Hotels Near Ukiah
1. Days Inn by Wyndham Ukiah
The Vibe
Days Inn keeps things simple. It’s a straight shot from Highway 101, positioned right on North State Street, Ukiah’s main drag. With a staff score of 8.7 and cleanliness at 8.7, it’s the most-reviewed property here — 600+ guests can’t be wrong about the reliable comfort.
What You Actually Get
Each room comes with free WiFi (rated 9.0) and cable TV. The outdoor swimming pool is open seasonally, and the continental breakfast is included in the rate — no extra hit to your wallet. Pets are allowed on request for a $25 per night fee, and late check-in is fine as long as you notify the front desk. Parking is free, and there’s an on-site restaurant for dinner.
Choose this if: you want a budget-friendly base with a pool and don’t need luxury frills.
2. Wyndham Garden Redwood Valley – Ukiah
The Vibe
This one’s a cut above. Comfort scores a ridiculous 9.6 — the highest of any property here — and the overall 8.8 rating reflects a hotel that’s firing on all cylinders. The Redwood Valley location is quiet, green, and just north of Ukiah proper.
What You Actually Get
Rooms are spotless (Cleanliness: 9.5) and the free breakfast buffet runs from 6 AM to 8 AM — after that, you can buy breakfast at the cafe until 10 AM. The outdoor pool and hot tub are guest favorites, and the on-site restaurant serves dinner. Guest laundry is available if you’re staying a few days. Note: despite the pet-friendly listing, only service dogs are allowed — so leave Fido at home.

3. Comfort Inn & Suites Ukiah Mendocino County
The Vibe

What You Actually Get
Every room has a small refrigerator and a hair dryer — nice touches for the price. Free WiFi (7.5) and free private parking are included.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are pets allowed at these Ukiah hotels?
Most allow pets with fees, but not all. The Quality Inn and Americas Best Value Inn only accept dogs. The Wyndham Garden states only service dogs are allowed. The Holiday Inn Express has select pet-friendly rooms with a $40 fee and breed restrictions. Always confirm directly — pet policies can change. The Fairfield Inn and Anderson Valley Inn have stricter policies; check before booking.
Which hotels near Ukiah offer free breakfast?
Most of the top picks include free breakfast. Days Inn, Wyndham Garden, Comfort Inn & Suites, The Orchard Hotel, SureStay, Holiday Inn Express, Quality Inn, Extended Stay America, Hampton Inn, and Fairfield Inn all include breakfast in the rate. The Orchard Hotel and Hampton Inn are particularly praised for their breakfast variety. Anderson Valley Inn does not advertise free breakfast.
What’s the best time to visit Ukiah?
Late spring (May-June) and early fall (September-October) offer the best weather — warm days, cool nights, and minimal rain. Summer can get hot (90°F+), but the pool-equipped hotels like Wyndham Garden and Fairfield Inn make it manageable. Winter is mild but rainy; indoor amenities like the fitness center at Holiday Inn Express become more valuable.
How do I get from the airport to Ukiah?
The nearest major airport is Charles M. Schulz–Sonoma County Airport (STS) in Santa Rosa, about a 1-hour drive south. From there, rental cars are the most practical option — Ukiah doesn’t have robust public transit. Several hotels like the Comfort Inn & Suites and Fairfield Inn are near Ukiah’s Airport Park area, making arrival easy if you’re flying into Ukiah’s small municipal airport.
What’s the most walkable area in Ukiah?
North State Street near downtown has the highest concentration of restaurants (Thai, Mexican, American, Italian) and shops. The SureStay Hotel by Best Western on North State Street is the most walkable to dining options. The Days Inn on North State Street also offers good walkability to fast food and casual dining within a 10-minute walk.
