Perfect location and amenities!

The location is perfect! Super close to downtown Mill Valley with great food and shopping. Also its proximity to San Francisco is really convenient for trips into the city without having to stay in the city with higher prices of hotels and parking. The offered free bicycle access which is awesome considering the trail it is located on. The fridge/freezer unit was particularly helpful as the freezer is a separate compartment and held all of our ice packs cold from our cooler for our journey!

The hot tub was out of order and did not tell us on the website when we booked it. When we confronted the reception, he tried to play it off like he didn’t know it was out of order when there were 3 signs once you entered the pool area. The room (that we were put in, not all of them) was on a hill so everything was slanted inside the room which made us feel dizzy and was a tripping hazard. Kids were running around at 5am in the room above. It sounded like they were coming through the ceiling it was so loud. The continental breakfast had stale cereal, no juice left in the dispenser, no hot water, and no pancakes in the machine (this was at 7am so only half an hour after breakfast started). None of this was posted online and if this had been posted we would not have booked the room.
