Dated and showing its age

Overall, this hotel is in a great location if you are visiting family in the Marin area, or if you are exploring San Francisco but want to stay out of the city to keep a mindful budget. However, the building is an older construction, and it I was built on a marsh. It has been updated over time, and it’s definitely showing its age. The staff are all very kind and hardworking – they have good communication, and they keep the hotel neat and tidy on a daily basis. Breakfast was consistently good quality as well, with something for everyone. Unfortunately, on the second night of our stay, the bathroom faucet sprung a leak and water drained all over the sink and down onto the floor, so we had to change rooms very late at night. The next room we moved to had many other problems – broken refrigerator, and the room itself was not square, so neither the doorwall nor the entry door fit squarely into their frames, leaving an inch gap at the top of both doors where air came in. The heating/AC units in both rooms also didn’t work consistently, so the room felt either too warm or too cold most of the time. Because the room was not square, it’s sort of felt like you were walking and sleeping on a slight slant when you were in the room. When we complained the following morning, the staff immediately accommodated us by moving us to yet a third room for the rest of our visit. The receptionist also said that they shouldn’t have moved us into that room the night before! (Room 230). Not great.

Everything was great, especially the outdoor environment all around hiking in beautiful mountain. My only issue was the fan broke in my room and they fixed it promptly but now it’s broken again.

Hotel located close to nature

Pros: pool, hot tub, free breakfast, free parking, bathtub in room, balcony in room, restaurant on site (with room service!), dogs allowed, hotel located close to nature/walking path with beautiful views. Cons: had to walk outside to get to rooms (card readers weren’t always easy to use, making it hard to get inside at times), bed was uncomfortable.

Good value in an expensive area.

Check in went smoothly. Room was clean. We dropped our stuff and set the vent to ventilate the room while we were gone came back to a comfortable temperature. Breakfast was good for the most part. We were a bit late in the morning and some things were empty, but found enough to have a decent breakfast.
