Econo Lodge Inn & Suites - Novato

Rooms are under construction and are very modern and clean. Hotel staff was very welcoming and helpful. The only down fall is the distance to restaurants. We ate at Hot Monk (about 15 minutes away)and is was amazing!

Had recently been renovated. Everything inside and out was brand new.

Major improvements ! Lovely place & bed & bedings so nice, clean & nice tv. Hope for more deals here.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This motel had only a 2.5 star rating. I was a little skeptical of booking there because of this. However, they have put a lot of blood, sweat and $$$$$ into improving this and I would now give it a 3.5. Worth the stay. We decided to stay another night and they gave us the same rate although it was the weekend. Thank you Econo Lodge....

Quiet and clean. Pleasant stay! When the construction gets done, this will be more pleasantly "eye" appealing, but as far as my stay went, I have no complaints.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Everything was fine except the Front Desk never answered the phone when I called to complain that I had no hot water. I won't be going back but it was reasonable frmo a cleanliness and cost standpoint.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Hotel is in good location with good service, comfort room, newly renovated bathroom. Cafe was closed at the time and breakfast was very limited.

Genuine Expedia guest review

It was very nice. Management was kind and helpful.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Will not stay here again. I took my bags with me every day - It was just that bad. The property had cabinets and other maintenance items stacked everywhere. No sense of pride by hotel management/ownership. My wife would NEVER had stayed here had she been with me on this trip.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Hotel was what you'd expect for the price. Good location, close to 101 and fast food. We'd stay again

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Was a budget hotel, not very impressive. The tv would turn on in the middle of the night, and the towels looked dirty. The soap and shampoo provided was not the best quality.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Our stay at Econo Lodge and Suites was wonderfully restful. Our room was comfortable and quiet. I like the rooms because they are so spacious. It was also very helpful that our room had a kitchen, that way we did not have to run out for every meal or snack. We will gladly return!

When I booked the hotel online the photos looked good, when I pulled into the parking lot and walked up to door lobby door it was locked at 9:00pm, I knocked on the door and a few minutes later someone finally came to let me in, after I got my key to the room and parked my car the room was on the 2nd foor above some garages that were open and full of […] garbage, the stairs hallway up to my hotel room was creapy and smelled really bad and run down, when I got into the room it looked like something out of a movie, the carpets were stained everywere, the walls were stained, it had a regular old fashioned t.v. it smelled like mildew, the shower kept going from really hot to really cold, this hotel was the worst place I have ever been to, if I had my wife and kids with me at that time I would have gotten my money back but since it was just me and it was late I just delt with it, I had to sleep with no pillows because they were stained, I took the bedding apart to make sure no bugs, then slept with the sheet only because the blankets didn't look like they were washed, TO EVERYONE WHO READS THIS.... DO NOT (I REPEAT) DO NOT STAY HERE!!!!!!! Read more

The place was so bad the reservation wasn't even used (but charged). Rude, dirty, you name it - Novato is a lovely area - don't shadow your visit with this place.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I was looking for a decent priced place to stay with a hotel, so I chose Econo Lodge. This was a huge mistake on my part. The Pool was closed, my window was broken and would not open, freezer was frozen over, the shower had leftover stuff from previous person, people were loud all night long, the shower was dripping and big puddles on the bathroom floor, […] dirty/stained/holey sheets and comforter, and missing slats on the window to where people could see into my room. There was nothing nice about this place. I definitely would not stay there again or recommend this place. Read more

Genuine Expedia guest review

Good location, but major-league shabby. Badly, badly in need of reno. Feels like a converted welfare motel. Woke up to find a homeless guy sleeping outside my door. Housekeeping folks do their best to keep things clean, but not much to work with. Yellowed walls, shabby furniture. HOWEVER, great price, if not a great value.

Hotel is all no smoking but my room smelled like tobacco smoke heater was broken and there was an extension cord running across ceiling to the floor plugged in to a small heater that wasn't strong enough to heat the whole room carpets and walls were stained and room was not very clean continental breakfast did not start until 8:00 am first hotel I ever […] stayed in that it didn't Start at 6:00 I desk clerk was dirty and unkeeped I never want to stay there again it was a very poor experience i tried to find another hotel but everything was booked so I had no choice but to stay there Read more

The EconoLodge in Novato was one of the cheapest hotels on the list of hotels.com hotels for our recent weekend stay. It's old, and furniture is worn but serviceable. Nevertheless, the hotel had some nice features (like strong wi-fi, adequate lamps and enough plugs, Dish TV), and we would stay there again.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I was impressed by the price if the hotel room and the condition of our room and the hotel in general once we arrived. The hotel is located right off the freeway, but our room was in the farthest of the three buildings and we could not hear the traffic whatsoever. We were placed in a room with a kitchenette without asking or an extra charge. We arrived […] at the hotel around 10pm and checking in late was no problem at all. The hotel was located close to a grocery store, restraunts and the exit onto the freeway which got us to where we were going. There were only 2 small things I had problems with during our stay, the wi-fi router was located in the office and our room was one of the farthest from the office so we had a weak signal. Also one of the windows in our room had sheer curtains which let in a lot of light in the morning, but I'm a heavy sleeper so I had no problem sleeping in. Read more

We have stayed here several times in the past year. It is a great value. Rooms are large, comfortable and clean. Great (and inexpensive) resturant next door. We have recommended it to others.

whould never stay there again

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The rooms are dirty and old. They are renovating it, so it might get better, however when I stayed they had the heat turned off and provided all the rooms with a small space heater. I ran it all day and night, but the room never got warm enough. I was supposed to stay two nights, but left after the first night. They were supposed to refund my money […] for the second night. The manager agreed to it, but I never got my money back. Read more

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Indian man who works the desk was rude/uncaring/unapologetic when my smoking preference was not honored. (Hotels.com person did NOT tell me this could happen, else I'd not have made the reservation.) I later found out that the man working the desk had lied to me about what was truly available! Same man was rude and unfriendly the next day, too (as if […] I were bugging him by being there or asking a question). Made me feel very unwelcome and not want to go by the office for any reason. Room carpet was so stained and dirty I didn't want to walk on the floor. Road noise all night didn't bother me, but it might you. Shades were so flimsy and poor that there was a cold draft by the window and the all-night lights outside could not be fully blocked (could not make the room completely dark even with all lights off). On the positive side, the internet worked well, the maid service was superb, and the Hotels.com rate was the lowest I found after much shopping. Read more

This is a charming place to stay. The owner is very kind and accommodating. I would recommend it to anyone who is wondering about where to stay in Novato.

Fits the need, not great, but definitely not bad.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Pleasantly surprised out how comfy it was

Genuine Expedia guest review

I needed to be away just for a night and found this one online as one of the least expensive places for lodging in the area. It was conveniently close to the highway and............it was very close to the highway:(. Sound of cars was very clear. I drowned it out with the television. Though not listed, I was surprised to find a microwave and refrigerator […] in my one queen bed room. While the bed was comfortable, the carpet could have used replacing and the shower door needed some work. It could use some "cozying" overall. It apeared as if the entire place is under construction and being re-vamped. GThey are really doing a lot of work (though not evident via sound). There is a restaurant on site - which I didn't use because I had my own food. The man at the counter - who appeared to be the manager - was very friendly and helpful. For a place to lay your head, without concern for anything fancy...if the price is important to you and a definite factor - in Marin, for the price and the good service - it works. I will return when/if necessary in the future. Read more

No heat, there was a space heater plugged into a series of extension cords nailed to the wall. When we asked for another room with real heat we were told there were no other rooms although the place looked empty. We left and went to another hotel. Expedia took care of the refund promptly.

Genuine Expedia guest review

I might go again.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The people were very nice. Too bad it's so close to freeway.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We chose this hotel because it was cheap, but I think it was definitely overpriced!! This hotel was just old and dirty, the parking spots were taken up by furniture from the hotel rooms - they are clearly doing some rehab work. The shower was awful, bed uncomfortable, room dirty. Would definitely find something else, I'm not picky for one night in a […] hotel, but won't be here again. Read more

Electrical outlets were scarce with one having a surge protector completely full. Ice machine had a smell. Not the cleanest place. Unimpressive. Nasty.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Found mouse droppings under the pillow and comforter. The good thing is when I requested another room, it was given immediately. The new room has a weird smell. I never felt comfortable staying here after this. I would never stay here again.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

They are still in the renovating stage. The room was sort of cobbled together. The TV was very temporary, with all of the appliances and lights plugged into one wall socket with multi adaptors. Didn't feel too safe. The power went out for half the night, didn't know if this was neighborhood wide or just the motel. Hopefully once all the renovations […] are finished this will be a nice place to stay. Read more

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

My door wouldn't close without slamming. some of the outlet didn't work. The room didn't seem particularly clean, just an over all feeling. There was work bing done on much of the hotel. My mattress was hard and uncomfortable.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Booked this for convenient place close to start of a road bike cruise. The price was right and room was comfortable. This is a large property with some remodeling going on. The breakfast at the on property restaurant was excellent. There are also several other close restaurant choices.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This little place is very antiquated but clean and reasonable - they are working on the place to do upgrades - the front desk staff was very friendly and there is a little diner out front that has a great breakfast - we would stay again.

This hotel is under renovation and 3 out of the 4 rooms had grossly stained carpets, little or no toilet paper , and no available 24 hr lobby service. The soda machine was in a locked room, not available after hours unless the manager was woken up. The onsite restraunt was not open for service the two days we stayed at the hotel, the manager had no […] answers or reasons why it was not open. Upon entering our Jr Suite, the toilet roll was left empty on the dispenser. The Jr Suite was clean and comfortable, it was newly renovated. I would not recommend this hotel until all renovations are complete and only then in a pinch. Read more

Once I saw the location and size of the room I came to the office to see if I could upgrade to a better room. The clerk answered "No." It wasn't "No there's no room available" or "No, we can't do that here," but just "No." It was a weird little experience. Also there were constructions on the property as 8:00 am. wtf?? some of us are still sleeping. […] Also, The pool was dirty. I would not stay here again. Read more

We stayed there over Memorial Day weekend since we were doing a trip to Sonoma. The staff was very friendly and the rooms were clean. The rooms were basic, which we expected, but to our surprise, there was a fridge and microwave. We didn't use them but appreciated that they were there if we needed to. The location was very convenient for our Sonoma […] trip and there's quite a lot of eating places around. Since there's a freeway nearby, you do hear the cars driving pass. However, this didn't really bother us too much. Overall, a very good value. We would stay there again if we go to Sonoma. Read more

For a suite with a kitchen, you should bring all your own pots/pans/dishes/utencils. Nothing was provided other than a broiler pan, 4 plates, a bowl and a fork.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Very convenient for what we needed to get to, the staff was very kind and helpful. For an older hotel it was quite nice. At a Great Price!!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

A pleasant stay at a small place resembling a Motor Court of yesteryear.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I chose this hotel specifically because it claimed to offer a continental breakfast. That turned out to be wrapped bagels and coffee on a tiny shelf in the already cramped check-in area (hard to call a space the size of a closet a lobby). The motel room was adequate. The best thing I can say about it is that we didn't get bitten by bedbugs. The shower […] alternated between freezing and scalding, and there was no bathtub in our room. Read more
