Nobody answers the front desk, either from the room or by dialing the number for the front desk online. This room was too expensive to not be able to watch TV. I would have to drive to the front desk for help. Ridiculous.

Great experience. My favorite was a walking trail right off the property and we walked to dinner. Bikes were free. The breakfast was nicely presented, the pool was wonderful, and the staff were helpful. Location was ideal, nestled between Sausalito and Mill Valley.

I saw many mixed reviews when I booked this hotel but thought it would be convenient location. I am not sure why but when we book with Expedia stays on this trip we are put in room way in back farthest rooms of hotel, even when they have other rooms empty. I feel we were treated lesser because of booking with Expedia and not very happy with service. Room was loud in the morning with worker doing maintenance outside. There was no elevator to be found in our building and had to carry heavy suitcases up stairs. I won’t recommend.

Ive stayed here 4 times and we love the convenience of the kocation, the staff, the pool and hot tub and the breakfast. We love the views as well. However, this is. O fault of the hotel, but last night i got no sleep due to the noisy neighbors. I had to drive five hours today on no sleep and im so upset.
