Hands down the most friendly, helpful staff of any hotel we’ve ever stayed at. Every employee we spoke with was so incredibly kind and eager to help. Very clean rooms. Gorgeous views. We were able to walk to the warf and felt very safe having our car in the garage at the hotel.

It's a smaller, sleepier town than I expected. I was in the area to visit Muir Woods.

Marin County, Bay Area, wonderful place with so much to see and do ... and with such beauty. Just don't stay at the hotel while under construction. Come back after and it will be delightfully worth it.
