Reviews and Ratings
Staying at this hotel was a delightful experience. The charming rooms with their immaculate presentation and cozy amenities made for a super comfy stay, although the room decor could use a little updating. The service was top-notch, with accommodating staff who ensured all our needs were met, even providing a safe place for our bicycles. The location, while not offering swimming pool facilities, was perfect for our exploration of the Sonoma coast. The dining options were decent, though a bit limited during the week. Overall, a good value for the money paid.
I stayed at the hotel and found it to be quite comfortable with nice little touches. The room was very clean and quiet, equipped with a fridge and a lovely hot shower. It offered great value, matching the price of standard airport accommodations but providing a lot more charm and comfort. However, being located directly above the bar and restaurant, it may not be the best choice for those seeking a peaceful night's sleep.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic. The rooms were clean, quaint, and had really comfy beds. The food was unbelievable, and the hotel's location was convenient for exploring nearby attractions.
I had a delightful stay at the hotel. The rooms were impeccably clean, cozy, and decorated like a charming farm home, making for a very comfortable experience. The service was impeccable, and the staff even recommended a fantastic dinner spot. The location was ideal for exploring the best vineyards in the area. However, the dining area was a bit lacking in seating. Overall, a great value for the money.
My stay at the hotel was delightful! The rooms were small but comfortable, with nice amenities like a little fridge, fan, and an excellent bathroom. The bed was cozy, and I loved the apple-smoked bacon fragrance wafting through the hallway. The service was outstanding, with cheerful staff working at the fantastic restaurant Oysters Rockerfeller. The location, perfect for exploring West Marin, was a mix of vacation vibes and convenience, although a bit noisy due to its proximity to the Coast Highway. The dining experience, though a bit sparse, offered simple and satisfying dishes. Overall, a great value for money stay!
The B&B offered a cozy and charming stay, with clean and well-equipped rooms. It felt like a guest room in someone's house, providing just what we needed. The garden location provided a peaceful retreat, though service lacked in attentiveness at times.
