The room was clean, and location was easy to find off the freeway. We would definitely stay here again. The only issue was the room above us was very, very noisy late into the night.

The room is clean, beds and pillows are comfortable. All you need for a night or five without spending a fortune on the city. We were only there for a night but would gladly spend more here if needed. The included breakfast was very good as a bonus!

Surprisingly Quiet on a Busy Street

Room was surprisingly quiet for being located between busy roads. Continental breakfast was fairly basic but nicely laid out. Excellent staff, very nice & prompt. Bed frame made a bit of noise every time you got up & down, but otherwise very clean & comfortable enough for us. Would stay here again

Quick overnighter

This place was okay for an overnight stay. The breakfast was good. The guy at check in was sullen and unfriendly. The walls and ceiling had weird stains and I feel like someone needs to go in there and sponge them down. No one wants to see brown stains on the wall.

Great weekend

Stayed here for a family wedding and found the restaurant on the facility to be one of the best Italian restaurants I’ve ever eaten at Marcello and his staff were friendly. The place is cute and quaint and well taken care. Definitely the best value in the Bay Area and Marin County.

It’s a real shame that the pool facilities is completely not existence any longer. It would’ve really been nice to be able to use the pool facilities.

Disappointing stay

Room clean, but bed uncomfortable, one pillow flat and lumpy and the other hard and overfilled. Shower had no place to put soap. Breakfast very disappointing with limited not very tasty options. Desk person helpful and friendly.

This establishment is a quaint motel, it has a restaurant (Italian) attached to the property. Check in was simple, room was small but had everything we needed for our 1 night stay, price was good too. The room was clean & comfortable. 10/10 from us.
