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 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!
